My blood pressure has improved over the past two days. I’ve been monitoring it twice daily (once at night and in the mornings)—feeling in higher spirits today ♥️ thanks all for your support and warm welcome

Thanks so much for sharing your experience and for the encouragement! Yeah, looking forward to discussing my options with my doctor

Same here—I’m at my highest 212 and was not at all motivated to move my body. Do you like dancing? Listening to music? Meditation? Walking outside with a friend/family member? Try incorporating some things you already love. I don’t hate exercise but sometimes I have to drag myself to do it—but lately, I’ve been sticking to…

I love ASOS.com clothing and shoes—they have some great options for different body types/ages/style preferences. Also Target is a great place to go for stylish new stuff, or at least to get some ideas. Also Madewell has some great quality (pricey, too) pieces—their jeans are 👌🏾 and Marshall’s.

Thank you! I think it will be a slow process but ultimately it will be a successful one—I enjoy moving my body and eating good for me foods, I just need to get the moods under control so they don’t distract me from my goals 🙌🏾 thanks again for your warm welcome and support!

26, graduate student—trying to lose about 30 pounds! :)

It does make it harder to get outside, but I’ve been trying some indoor exercises and that’s been boosting my moods a little!

Thanks for the encouragement—I agree and am happy to be starting on this journey. Thanks for the meditation app recommendation!

Thank you so much—that definitely makes me feel less alone in this battle. I’m going to talk with my doctor again in a few weeks to address my depression/anxiety. Exercise has been good for me to let off some anxious thoughts

Thanks for the encouragement, I’m learning that set backs are just moments that pass and I can keep going and not throw away all of my progress. Tried to add you as a friend but not sure if I did it right—thanks so much, again!
