Start by just noticing that your workouts get easier as you get stronger and gain endurance...measure yourself not just on the scale, but on the way your clothes fit or with a tape measure, journal how you feel on days you workout or eat healthy & watch your…

  • Welcome! I'm on the newer side to this site, but like you, not new to weight loss. I had lost about 60 pounds in 2009-2010 and am back up nearly 30 of those. I always do better with a solid network, so if you'd like, add me as a friend and we can support each other! Best of luck to you!
