Wow! Great effort- that's a huge transformation!

Wow- you've done such a great job. I'm so sorry for your loss, it must have been devastating. I suddenly lost my mother a few months ago and turned to my usual comfort foods. Good for you for focusing on taking care of yourself and your kids.

Happy birthday! Enjoy your day!

My sister in law just got diagnosed with breast cancer. It's devastating, but motivating me to stop taking things for granted and take care of myself.

I was feeling tired, sad and depressed and ready to blow off my workout tonight. I looked for some inspiration on these boards and found some. Did my workout and feel a bit better.

Wow! You look great and I am super impressed with your lifts!!

I was just coming here to post something similar. I fell off the wagon in September (it's been very stressful with back to school & kids sick). I gained 5 lbs 😣. I struggle to lose 0.5lbs a week yet it is sooo easy to gain a lb or more a week. Sigh. Back at it I go.

Re: Halloween 🎃 We currently have no active cases where we are- I have a feeling Halloween will proceed in our town with masking as long as things don't go poorly with back to school. I will probably leave a bowl on my steps with pre-packed small bags and a take 1 sign while I take the kids and make sure they are able to…

What was the podcast? I am looking for some inspiration!

A decent spin bike isn't that loud, not the way I used it anyway. Stay away from treadmills is though!

Thanks for all of the responses! I had done StrongLifts for a year or so and really enjoyed it but ended up getting exhausted with the really heavy weights. I fell off the fitness train due to life changes (and gained 30 lbs over three years!). I started couch to 5k in January and for the first time in my life started to…

Glad you have figured out what you need to address. Do you have long QT? My husband and daughter both have it and my husband (a runner) definitely found beta blockers slowed his running.

Inhave lots of good non-petty reasons, I do. But my petty reason is to stick it to my mother in law. She's been losing weight lately and is critical and petty. I want to noticeably lose to head off all that passive aggressive (or just aggressive) advice. Oh who am I kidding, she'll give it anyway😣 I just want to feel like…

This exact same thing happened to me yesterday, super frustrating.

We bought a more accurate scale but it weighs me two lbs heavier- definitely going to throw off my happy scale trend! Bothers me even though I know nothing about my body changed 🤪

I know how you feel- it’s hard with all this stress, struggling with fear,anxiety and depression. But no one can do this for you- you need to get up and keep showing up. Treat yourself with kindness and forgiveness, but get back at it- your next meal, don’t put it off until tomorrow. I have found exercise to be really…

This is the same as I was feeling too. I just wasn't ready to make the change and get back at it. This weekend I stepped on the scale and realized I gained 10 lbs since I took my break. My MIL just got a diabetes diagnosis this week and it's given me the kick to start eating better, shed the weight, and get fitter. I want…
