Round 2-Doing it even better


I lost 50 pounds 6 years ago and it has slowly crept back up on me. I have a thyroid disease which makes it more challenging. I hate to run, but love to lift and am looking for other cardio activities that are more exciting! Working out is currently difficult due to ankle pain so I'm focusing on food. I'm having two ligaments repaired 5/24/16 and wishing I had lost some weight earlier. Crutches at the weight are going to be a struggle. Short term Goal: Starting over as usual. New changes ...

New changes to my diet (gluten free) sticking. 190 by Christmas. Very doable! Long term Goal: Lose 50 pounds and maintain! 150

    Yeah for sure things are all possible! The biggest thing working against me right now is my mind! I'm trying to get back into the swing of things, and I am slowly...but I will keep at it!

    It's great if you check in! We will keep each other motivated for sure!!

    The wedding is helping to motivate me for sure, but at the same time there are so many things to do and plan, and stress about ... it can be difficult! Luckily I still have some time and I'm hoping to be down a small chunk of weight by then.

    I've heard about DietBet before, but never tried it. Maybe I will look into doing one over the summer!

    Ouch surgery!! Crazy!! I'm getting married in October and I would love to be down 40-50 pounds by then ... it will all depend on my motivation!

    I was diagnosed with PCOS last year and it's honestly gotten my spirits down and I've been having trouble turning things back around. Hoping summer will bring some better attitude!

    Welcome back! Still around, but back at the beginning and beyond that unfortunately ... been pushing through and trying to come to terms with everything, but it's tough!

    Glad to see you back around! Best of luck!!
