I cannot lie, this pandemic spurned my desire to get healthy like nothing else. When I began reading about all of the underlying issues that were causing severe Covid reactions I got my bum in gear the minute quarantine was announced. I started C25k and a few weeks ago completed the program and am now waking up at 5:00 am…

Good Afternoon Everyone. I do not know why, but short work weeks always feel like the longest weeks, even though I feel blessed to be working right now. I had a big loss this week, but it is a blip and I know it. I have been somewhat stressed and when I get that way, I stop eating. I also had some later meetings so I could…

Our gyms are open here in Texas and although I am still working out at home and outside, I have to say I am happy for those who can get back to the gym, especially if they cannot afford or obtain home workout gear. Exercise and even the routine of it all is such a big component of mental wellness, in addition to the…

Hello Everyone and Happy Friday! I am so glad that it is a Holiday weekend for us here in the States. I think I am going to use an hour of vacation today and cut out of work earlier. I need a break. You all seem to be doing so well! @procolorer Great loss! @speyerj Awesome job on your goal and an inspiration to us all!…

Friday!!!! My kids' last day of school is Monday and I have no idea what we are going to do next. I know I will be working, but them? It is causing me a tad but of stress! So many new faces and so much discontented sleeping! I completely understand. I woke up the other night at 3:00 am and worried for a good two hours…

Welcome all new members! It is a great, encouraging group. Hello to all older members as well...you are doing fantastic. @rhopar33 I like your analogy about the caterpillar. That is exactly how I feel. This quarantine has really given me the motivation to work on myself. If anything, this pandemic has shown me that I need…

It is May...hooray! I am really hoping that May ushers in some rebirth for our world. People are struggling so much right now and it has been so heavy. I am looking every single day for that sunshine. So, here we go! 43 years old 5'3" SW: 225.6 (2/7/20) CW: 216.4 5/1: 214.8 May goal weight: 210 GW: 125 GOALS: 🏵️ Continue…

That is wonderful news! Congratulations!

This is just great and worthy of celebration! I also look forward to getting out of the obese category and have run my numbers to see when that will occur and each time I lose weight I check on my BMI as well to see where I drift! Congratulations!

Woot! It is my weigh in day and even though it is TOM, I still managed to lose weight. I attribute that to closely watching my intake, drinking water, and moving every single day. It was nice to see a decent dip. 43 y.o. 5'3 2/7/20 (SW): 225.6 4/10/20: 219.2 4/17/20: 218.8 4/24/20 (CW): 216.4 GW: 125 I am thinking of my…

Thank you so much for the helpful comments! I have bought nothing (apart from food and books) during this quarantine, so now I get to do some shopping!

@rheinn1979 I had to laugh...ah the fupa. I agree, I do not want to continue on in pain and I hope that with losing weight I get there. It is amazing how different weight loss is in your 40's versus younger days. I hope that the best is yet to come! I started C25K today. I have run before and I know how wonderful it can…

Hi Everyone! I would love to join this group! I have gained and lost so many pounds over the years and am just fed up. I want to be in this second decade of my life as a healthy woman. This pandemic has given me the extra boost to get as healthy as I can, while also trying to clamp down my ever increasing anxiety. It is as…

I need to lose weight and I have failed so many times in the past. I have been at this a little over a month now (likely my longest streak at doing this healthy) and I have wanted to give up pretty much every single day. I lose slow so I have had to find motivation beyond the scale. I am nicer when I go for a walk, I am…

You look like a completely different person! And you are my exact starting height/weight/age range. And I live the curly hair! Great job!
