Congratulations! Great work. :)

This is great! It sounds like you're on a good path, if challenging. Thanks for sharing your story. :D

I've been in a similar boat these last couple years. I recently decided to shift my mindset. Right now, I'm prioritizing working out and getting in better physical shape rather than losing weight.

I worked out instead of moping about how poorly I did with calorie intake today.

Wow, what a great feeling! Congratulations on all your hard work!

Fantastic, congrats! Keep up the good work. :)

Yes, you do. I just started (day 1 level 1) today as well! : )
