I had lost almost 100 pounds two years ago. It is all back. It has been a rough two years, but I am back logging and back in the pool. It is time to just plain feel better, and this was how I accomplished that last time.

I am putzing along, but am working on taking it more seriously again.

I am so proud of you for sticking with this! For me, i could make a ton of excuses about life being busy and working nights on the weekend, and they are all true, but that won't get me where I want to go. The big picture is I wasn't as active as I would like because life interrupted me, but I got out there and made an…

I waited until about month 9 to have my meltdown. It certainly isn't easy, but you can do this. You have it in you :)

are you ready for week 44, Umer? I am ready to go!

I will be back on board this weekend! When the going gets tough, the tough get going!

I am here, but not on the boards as much, mostly just using my phone. I am down 67 pounds from 11/5/12. Life has been busy lately, so I have been more maintaining than losing. The good news is, I have been maintaining and not gaining. I have a new FitBit, which has been a little motivating :)

Congratulations! That is fantastic!!

I do whatever works for me to get to my calorie goals. In an ideal world, I burn 7-10k calories/week, although the last two were about half of that. I swim a lot, but I also use the elliptical, hike, go to water aerobics, etc. I had been running, but was just diagnosed with arthritis in my knees so I am taking a break from…

That is great for both of you!

The Boy Scouts helped with our local YMCA's Rad Run yesterday. I was busy for hours, did lots of walking, hauling, lifting, but I have no idea how many calories I burned for that. 6/8/13: 102 calories mild stretching 6/9/13: 50 calories mild stretching/1240 calories swimming Total: 1392

MRI results are in. It is "only" arthritis. Right now, the challenge is pain management so it doesn't interfere with my goals. Saturday: 1098 cross country hiking Sunday: 275 dancing (I am in our local musical and we were working with the professional choreographer today. She worked us good) 402 walking Total: 1775

That is wonderful news! Congratulations!!

My husband used to have more problems but began to watch his sodium intake. Once he kept that in line, things improved.

whoooohooooo orangesmartie! Saturday: 872 (hiking without a backpack) 1966 (I marked it as gardening, so it was probably conservative. I was hauling tree limbs and other debris across a sandy swimming beach for 4+ hours. We cleaned a Boy Scout camp on the Missouri River. I couldn't believe the size of some of the trees…

Good luck with your race! I need to start over outside before I am willing to sign up for an outside race :)

We pay 65.00 for a family membership at our Y. We have unlimited classes and access to a pool/hot tub in addition to the weights/machines in the fitness center for our family of four. For me, it is money well spent since my cost per day is about 2.00.

I weigh daily Monday through Friday. I wear the same clothes so I have a consistent weight. I like to be accountable to myself and a daily weigh in helps me do that. It also helps me be aware of the little things I do that can have a daily impact on my weight....too much sodium, not enough water, etc.

W7D2 yesterday :) I have been all on treadmill so when I graduate, I am going to start over at the beginning, but outside...if it ever stops snowing here :)
-
I am in the middle of a plateau right now. I am putting in the time in the gym and watching my food, but the scale is just not budging. I am hoping to see it coming through soon because it is starting to be a mind game for me.

Good for you! Sticking with it until it is a habit is sometimes the hardest part :) Congratulations!
