  • @mbaker566 I have a throw that's white "lambs wool" on one side and black velour on the other. So I look at this and I'm like, WHERE'S THE DOG? 😂😂😂

  • ^^ This is awesome. And I agree with all above - a week is just getting started. If you continue seeing no measurable results, you could look at the way your are measuring and logging your food - honestly, it takes a while to get that figured out, especially when we really want that portion size to be bigger than it is, or…

  • ^^^ a thousand times this. @ButterIsGood glad you're feeling the relief already. Stay safe and take good care of yourself, and reject any attempts to drag you back into that insanity.
  • This is NOT silly at all, and it is a huge victory! When we're in the habit of thinking, "Oh I can't do that because *weight reasons* or *poor fitness*" and suddenly we realize, we CAN choose to do it if we want... ... well, that's lovely and that is what we are doing this for, so we can "love life without fear" <<<<< I…

  • Your journey is an inspiration! #1, you supply the best argument ever to people afraid that they can't lose weight without sweat-dripping workouts; and #2, I was particularly touched by how much you see your tastes and your views of yourself changing as you go. Thank you for sharing your story, and all the best in reaching…
  • ^^ I wish I could like this six times. I bookmarked this thread because I need to read it over and over, I have the same issues. When I am super super tired, I eat hoping that will make me feel more normal -- whether it is low energy at work or sleepless night or end-of-day exhaustion at home. It's super counter…

  • Hi Joan, our ages, weights and goals, really similar. I have been doing this challenge for months, more on than off, including in maintenance for a while. Everyone's gotta find their happy place, but for me getting to know what the daily fluctuations do or do not mean is very freeing, and that is one reason I love this…

  • Make an appointment with your physician, discuss these issues, and find out. My experience is when I dive into a new exercise program or intensify, I have a couple of tough weeks with feeling tired, needing more sleep, needing good calories (protein and healthy carbs!) and having sore muscles. This is adaptation. Rest days…
  • If you are exhausted after exercise, I would believe you are starting out way too hard. If you suspect exercise intolerance, you might want to check with your physician and determine whether there is a physical condition you may need to treat that underlies your aversion. If your doctor rules out physical, and you really…

  • So this is the last year of my life. End of July, we got smoked in from large local fires, my work got overstressed and hubs (my running buddy) got athsmatically sidelined as a result. In unrelated news, blackberries came in season and I comfort-ate crumble for 2.5 months. Got a rescue dog and felt guilty going to the gym,…

  • I have struggled with anxiety with new things in general, fear of pushing through that barrier of not knowing how because of my perfectionism that says I should already KNOW how!! And it's way worse when I fear others are watching/judging. When I don't try new things because I am afraid, I KNOW I'm the only sufferer, but…
