  • Wife is out of town this weekend, which means that I'm in control of my food! It's time to test my theory - that I do better when I take control of things. Outside of one day last weekend (+4.0 lbs!) I had a great last round (still lost 2.2 lbs overall), and I'm looking to continue my journey toward that mythical place...…

  • @brightresolve Keep hanging in there. The best way through anxiety and depression is to keep doing the things that have been working. Sometimes it's just doing the opposite of what your anxiety and depression are telling you to do. Getting healthy/losing weight is hard enough on its own; it becomes pretty unbearable when…

  • Ostheoarthritis in my reconstructed right knee. They have helped me a lot so far; I get them every 6-9 months. I'm sorry it didn't help you this time (I'm assuming it did before).

  • Sorry for the random post, but I'm excited and I want to share. Got my cortisone shot in my right knee about an hour and a half ago. INSTANT RELIEF. Doc says it should last me six months or so. It feels GREAT. I need to chill for a couple of days, but I can't wait to get back to some intense reduced-pain exercise!

  • @angelicasassy You're here. And even though you didn't want to post, you did. This is what being accountable is all about. Sometimes the first stage is awareness, NOT change. Beating yourself up is a tough habit to break. Seeing your ex is hard. It makes sense that you're struggling. You deserve kindness right now, even…

First, there's been an off-and-on pattern for me when it comes to these challenges: no loss, big loss, no loss, big loss, no loss. If the…
