  • I feel you I had like 2 friends. This year I said I was going to go outside my comfort zone. So I went to my 30 year high school reunion. I reconnected with some friends from high school and we went on a girls weekend trip. On that trip we reached out to a couple of other high school friends and met up. Had a blast! I…

  • Realizing I should have started sooner, especially with a trip coming up in June. It's been a challenging year; my kid age 26 spent the entirety of 2023 in the hospital. Now, thankfully, my child is finally home and on the path to recovery, and I'm fully committed to being here for every step of that journey. However, to…
  • Thank you all so much! Trying not to be disappointed in myself for not trying sooner. But also reminding myself that in 2024 I already quit smoking, got a promotion. I can do this but... I do believe that I should lower my goals a bit. I have 11 weeks left I have lost 4 already so if I get (starting weight 238) If i can…
  • I had a belt fit me last week that did not a month ago. I find myself not acknowledging the NSV. I need to celebrate those as well.
  • Thank you for reminding I am not alone. I am exactly there with you this last month of feeling good has kept me so motivated. I feel good so I eat good and I want to get out and do things.
  • Thanks all. I am really motivated and for about a month have stayed on top of things. I am down 8 pounds and my focus has been my eating habits. I cook all my meals and have been making food I like. So far its rare i go over and even rarer that i am hungry at the end of the day. I also try to move more at night which is…
