@AlexandraFindsHerself1971 Thanks! I will look into those. I've never actually sprained my ankle. It is usually the first thing to stop hurting. I just roll them a lot. Ironically flat surfaces are the worst culprit. @novusdies I will look into those too. I think I had something like that when I was playing tennis in HS, I…

@AlexandraFindsHerself1971 I am the exact same way... Won't eat.. won't be hungry...not a nice person. I never put it together. I do the same with my migraine symptoms. I also wish it was October its supposed to be like 105 here tomorrow. Ewww. I got two 3 mile walks in last week Fri and Sun... But Last night I took a dive…

It's a little trivial... but my outfit today made me feel good. I use Fridays as my adventure in fashion days since few people will be in the office. I wore a black knit pencil skirt a black blouse and a flowy kimono style coat I love the look of pencil skirts but I am self-conscious about how they look on me... Middle…

Welcome, @Fred77! I feel like many of us are on similar paths to you! I've only been part of the group for a little over a week but have gotten lots of advice and tips and made quite a few friends!

@emmyjaykay A purple door sounds awesome! I think we finally get around to replacing our front door I am going to do a dark teal color.

All of this! I carry nearly all my weight in my stomach so this is super relatable.

I am a lurker too and I am trying to be more active on the boards, I find it really helps me to engage with others. Congratulations on your 74.8lb loss! P.s. I am also a Mrs. Smith!

I didn't take measurements before but I started with my check-in today!

Yes, I've been sore for about two weeks straight. I WILL TRY TO BE PATIENT LOL! I do need to work on my water intake anyway I am getting way less than they say you should have. Maybe that will help

I feel like, I have had 3 Mondays in a row.. so my week is also messed up. But I tried to take two days off at the end of last week and it messed all my work flow up! I am also not happy with my scale... My gain was much less than I thought it would be based on last nights transgressions. only a .8 gain from last week. I…

I am here to whine... I had a really *kitten* day (week so far TBH) I think a migraine might be coming on or my depression is working overtime. I know I am going to be over my calorie limit today ... and It will be even worse if I don't workout at all tonight. It is the night before my weekly check in and it frustrates me…

@conniewilkins56 You have perfectly described by early teen years. When AOL first came out I was who I thought everyone else wanted me to be! I finally made my friends in Band and Theater in my later years of high school. I have always been such an introvert that now as an adult I don't have more than a few friends and…
-
@NovusDies I definitely think the realization helped me set the guilt aside yesterday and move forward.. otherwise based on hindsight I would have spiraled.

I had a bit of an "epiphany" last night. We decided to order pizza, which would have been fine if I kept the portions under control. But... I didn't. Pizza is a binge trigger for me... at least that is the best way I can describe. It's like i just lost all control and just kept eating... Now I feel guilty about it. I…

@nazah_sakin WELCOME!! I am also new to the group but have found a lot of great friends and inspirations in this group! Sustainability is my goal this time around, I have tried many times to lose weight but they were never very successful. I have about 150lbs to lose but am trying not to focus on that number and just make…

I hate how so many people think that it is an easy solution! I was just doing the prep leading up to it and struggling with not drinking while eating. I was or am going to have a bypass, it is the better choice for me. I know a couple people IRL who had sleeves. One gained it all back and the other has kept her weight off.…

I follow both Jessamyn and Dana on Instagram! I did subscribe to Dana's online studio for a while but I wasn't using it. I should try out Jessamyn's... TBH I don't know what I like more the dances or his running commentary during the videos. He's hilarious. I do also like that he has all sizes and gender backup dancers.…

I have mostly lazy little dogs but when we got Axel I thought it would help me get out more and walk him. He is Boxer/Lab mix so could play/walk for hours! He is loving my 3 times a week walks with my mom and stepsister. I want to work up to walking more than 3 times a week. Need to plan that out! I am not an accountant…

I am walking 3 times a week with my mom and stepsister in the evenings, I do want to increase that number eventually! I have a pup who'd love to walk more! You are very brave! I hate gyms, even friendly ones. I am so up in my head and self-conscious. I won't even work out in my own living room in case my husband or…

I bet my bad back would appreciate a seated workout every once in a while! I had found a couple ten minute yoga routines on youtube but... I certainly couldn't really do a lot of them. I think there was a pose called "thread the needle" I think I modified that into an entirely different pose. I will definitely give those a…

I have to see if there is any Zumba workouts on Youtube! I remember trying to do it at home when it was first really popular. I did a few "Marshall Fitness" Youtube dance videos today. I am so uncoordinated! but I enjoyed it and that kind of surprised me. So I am going to look into more dancey stuff.
