I was working with a "trainer" who had me "push through the pain" to get my last reps in, ended up with a rotator cuff injury and couldn't lift anything overhead for almost 3 months. So yeah...I'm going to listen to my body now and when it's time to be done, it's time to be done.

What are the mini goals that you have? That's a great idea to break things down, it is daunting sometimes to look at the far off picture, seems like you'll never get there

Hey all...my goal is to follow through on my dry January (ok I'm starting today, but 4 weeks is still good, right? ) And to take my vitamins and start stretching more and remember what a barbell feels like

I'm sorry about your mother, but glad you are going to therapy and ready for a fresh start! Please reach out to anyone here for extra help

Is that one of those scales that tells body fat? I always look at those, but not sure of accuracy. Then again, if it just gives trends, that might be all that I need. Congrats on your weight loss before, and I also have between 15 and 20 to lose. Gradual changes are best for me too, otherwise I tend to get discouraged and…

Best of luck to you!!! Jealous of your nice weather...i'm staring at ice and snow right now...LOL.

Welcome to everyone who has just found us here!!!

Welcome...it's a tough road and takes a lot of hard work. Unfortunately there is no "easy" way for weight loss as much as we wish there was https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1235566/so-youre-new-here/p1 This is a great thread for beginners here, hopefully you can get something from it to help you!!

no...but I need to start...i used to be so flexible and now...not so much...

Welcome!!! What goals do you you have on here, or are you just looking for tracking and accountability? Sounds like you're quite accomplished already, glad to meet you!!

Welcome!!! Here is a great (older thread) full of advice for people starting out. Give it a read. I still have to re-read and relearn a lot of these things myself. And best of luck to you!!! https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1235566/so-youre-new-here/p1

Hello to you and best of luck to you!! Sounds like you got off to a good start last year, I think Covid derailed a LOT of us. Cheers to a better 2021!!

Welcome back!! Do you have a plan in place for yourself?

Welcome Michael! What are your goals? Is there anything I can help you with?

Welcome John!!! What type of plan do you have in place? What goals are you looking to smash???

@jdingram1 those craft beers will get ya...I know that's my major downfall. I love my IPA's waaaay too much. I'm hoping a dry January will help me take off a few pounds.

Best of luck to you!!! I love weight training, I find it so much more fulfilling than cardio, although I know I need to do both. Sounds like you have some great goals and congrats on the weight loss so far! @GrammaLisaGetsMoving I hope I still have the energy and stamina you do at your age!!! That's a great dream to have!!!

Welcome!!! I know there are several other mom's that have posted recently about losing baby weight. My youngest is 7...so I can't really use him as a scapegoat anymore!! Best of luck to you!

Here is a great thread about fluctuations. It's pretty normal... https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10084670/it-is-unlikely-that-you-will-lose-weight-consistently-i-e-weight-loss-is-not-linear/p1

For as long as this year has been, it seems like it's also gone really fast...so strange.

Hi Kim!! Here's a great thread (oldie but goodie) that has a lot of tips for us "serial starters" https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10040368/some-thoughts-on-starting-over/p1 My own personal advice is to make small changes that you can stick to. Then let things become a habit rather than a chore. If I try to…
