Beginning weight 261.5. Current weight 179. It has been a struggle the last six months or so but I'm still working at it.

Beginning weight 261.5. Current weight 179. It has been a struggle the last six months or so but I'm still working at it.

I lost 59 pounds in 2015. Over the next 5 years I did this: Gained back 40 pounds, lost 30 pounds, gained 40 pounds. So, doing the math, I over the past five years I have actually lost (and re-gained) 90 pounds. But here I am again. It's time. Sulking about the weight I've regained isn't going to do anything towards…

I'm certainly not proud of mine! It is "from the beginning" which was about 5 years ago. A recap of "what happened to me" is in my profile bio if you're interested but the short version is I've lost and regained 90 pounds. But I have once again taken a positive step of trying yet again! I have decided to get more involved…

I do this a lot ... mostly because I lay it down and walk away!!

I have been SO NEGLIGENT with checking-in to the challenge. My sister and I left for a 26-hour drive (to Arizona) on the first day of the challenge (plus 4 hours on a train for me to meet her at our rendezvous) and ended up driving straight through . . . So that was a LOT of sitting the first couple of days! Since then I…

I'm starting my sit less challenge with a 30 hour car ride! Thanks to recent bilateral knee surgeries I will need to stop more often and move a bit more so that will be a huge challenge for me in the first couple days of the sit-less challenge but I'm up for it. Let the fun begin!!

Why can’t I “favourite” this page? It says I need “the Vanilla.DiscussionsView permission to do that”.

I watched Forks over Knives and also made an immediate decision that PB is how I wanted to go! I never really believed I would EVER follow a diet/lifestyle that did not include meat! As I transition I find that I want meat less and less.

Here I go! Watched Forks over Knives and I am a believer! But I will have to make a slow transition so am going to start by adding more vegetables and fruits to my diet and restrict dairy. I'm not a huge milk drinker but I do love my cheese so we will see how it goes. Any advice? I have so much to learn!

I'm so confused I don't even know what day it is!! Posted this by accident on yesterday's feed so am pasting it here today since it's SUNDAY and NOT Saturday!!! Spending my day chasing a puppy!!! I got "Zac" on Wednesday and have been up earlier, staying up later, and moving more ever since!! I need to get back to walking…

Spending my day chasing a puppy!!! I got "Zac" on Wednesday and have been up earlier, staying up later, and moving more ever since!! I need to get back to walking more though -- our weather is chilly and Zac is a little guy without much endurance for weather or walking -- but each day gets a little better!!

I would participate again.

Anything in moderation . . . .

Today will be a challenge since I will be driving to Ohio. It is about a 5 hour drive. I do have my dog with me so I will have to stop along the way and get him out for a little exercise so hopefully that will help. Otherwise I think it will be a very low step count and very low stand count for today

Getting ready to go out of town for a week! It will be a challenge getting my steps in while taking care of mom who is recovering from hip surgery but sitting less should be a breeze!!

Cleaning house is another! It's my project for the day!!

The weather is rainy and yucky today so it looks like it will be a mall walking kind of day!!

I will definitely start thinking about the weekend. My husband works days this weekend and I am often not very active when he is not here -- he is my motivator!! I will make a plan and STICK TO IT!!! The 30 minute walk will be no problem. Thanks to the challenge I have been getting in my 10,000 steps and 12 stands every…

Will have to go to the mall today -- raining

Looking forward to a great walk in the sunshine today!!! Happy Saturday everyone!!!

Being a "step-counter" I truly AM amazed at how much difference all those little things make!! I have to force myself to get up in the evenings after I settle in for the night but I am finding that getting up even for just 5 minutes per hour makes a difference how I feel both mentally and physically.... AND makes a…

Ah man!!! I did this yesterday!!! Finally got my back yard flower garden cleaned out for fall!! I'll have to look for something else to do today!!

Evenings are my problem -- especially the weeks (like this one) when hubby is working nights. I watch Netflix so no commercials!!! Will pledge tonight to, at the very least, get up between 44 minute episodes!

I've got an iWatch with hourly stand reminders! I'll commit to getting up every time it says it's time today!

It takes commitment and I'm working on that!!!!

Thanksgiving dinner today -- just a small turkey and fix'ins for my husband, mother-in-law and me so will be on my feet a lot .... but will definitely get in an evening walk. I've been doing well with getting in my steps and stands since starting the challenge!!

Off to the local fall fair! Lots of walking and enjoying the beautiful fall day!!! The article on the added benefit of exercise was also pretty inspiring!

I think this is the first easiest challenge I have ever participated in!! I love walking even while I struggle with weight loss. Parking far away has always been a habit and such a great way to get more steps!!

With each stand reminder I get today I'll take 250 steps.
