Welcome @jordanconroy23 !

Had to fix a leak under the kitchen sink today and I could fit under the sink to do the work! A year ago it would have been a miserable time.

My NSV is that I've been working out at home. I find it much, much easier to go to an actual gym. Once I'm at the gym I just get down to business. Home is full of distractions, so in a way I'm more proud of myself for getting the workout done at home than I would be had I gone to the gym.

Welcome!

I had to fly on business this past week. It was my first flight in over a year and I'm down a lot of weight since the last air trip. I actually looked forward to not having to get a seatbelt extender (which was an awesome feeling), but the part that I had not considered is that I could use the tray table again! It had been…

Just adding to the chorus of support -- 38 lbs is outstanding work. So glad you posted here!

Congrats, i felt the same after my first week!

I just love that you wrote this, @Terytha . It's just so profound and something I struggle with as my own journey progresses. It's a struggle, but in a way I love this particular struggle: am I discovering who I am, this new me, or am I creating the new me? (And is it dangerous to mix philosophy with weight loss?)

Outstanding! Congrats!

I go as cheap as possible while on the weight loss journey -- have to replace the baggy stuff that falls off me every couple of months, so it's the big box stores for me. Maybe when I reach maintenance I'll look at the more expensive stuff. Appreciate the comments re: TJ Maxx tho, I may check that stuff out and see if…

Congratulations Sir, that's an outstanding success story!

Great work!!

Way better sleep, normal glucose, normal blood pressure (been on the high side for years), normal cholesterol. Started lifting weights a few months ago and now recurring back pain is gone. As of today i am down about 99 lbs from starting weight.

I also log coffee but not tea. I drink my coffee black but i like to log the few calories and also it’s a way to track caffeine input. I drink mostly herbal teas and those always show as zero calories so I ultimately stopped logging them. I only drink coffee maybe once a week. Good luck on the journey!

Hi @chuckb24c ! I've been going to OTF since March of 2019 -- been great for me. At the moment I'm going only once a week due to some scheduling stuff, but I'm doing strength and cardio on most non-OTF days too.

Nicely said, and I totally agree. I am on a similar path and have had similar success (52). Congrats and thanks for the encouraging words!

Charles, so sorry you're struggling! You are SO not alone in having gained back weight after losing a bunch. It's among the worst of feelings, I know because I've had felt it too. But I think you're in the right place to set yourself up for success. Good luck on your journey!

Welcome and good luck on the journey!

Welcome @GlenStevens1976 ! If you've not done so already, definitely have a look at the Getting Started section of the community, there are a good many helpful posts there. I'm 52 and I've been on this latest leg of the journey since February of this year and having good success so far. I'm sending you a friend request.…

Welcome @steeleme7 ! There are several diabetics on here. I am type 2, diagnosed in March 2019. You'll find lots of support and information here. Good luck on the journey!

My fave is from darebee.com: "I already know what giving up feels like; I want to see what happens if I don't." https://darebee.com/posters/what-it-feels-like.html

Awesome.
