Understandable. Ask for forgiveness and not permission? Suprise her with a new poodle?

Worth a try.

Set out this morning to push my normal 4-5 mile walk/run out to 6-7. Ended the morning at 9 miles, 21k steps and 1300+ calories burned. Broke the plateau I've been at. My muscle density is climbing, but it's affected lbs lost so that has been really getting to me. This was AWESOME!!!

Nicely done!

Kicked my ass tonight. Walked about 4 miles today out with the fam, walked another 8.2 tonight. Did an arm workout the last mile tonight as i walked. Down 70 today.

Man, you are killing it with the exercise. That is so great.

I'm not exercising as much as I should, but have been consistent with my intermittent fasting. Covid kicked my butt, and August which is when I got completely off the exercise, not quite as diligent with fasting, I lost 6 lbs, but I got fully back on track with fasting routine in September and slowly reintroduced time on elliptical, and lost just over 10 lbs. Been pretty steady with 6-12lbs of loss each month, but I'm trying to get more exercise consistency.

Stepped out of my comfort zone tonight and joined a gym. First night went pretty well. Yay!!

Good for you! Make it part of your life style forever. Being fit is a lifestyle change. It's not about diets, fasting and fads. Just exercise, eat good, and be very consistent. It's easier than most people think!! Keep up the good work.

With optional bathing suit???

Got this message from my PCP (had reached out to her about some low blood pressure episodes, and I'm off all meds at this point, so no more lowering of BP meds) and she sent this, which was nice to see.

"This weight loss and blood pressure are just AMAZING. I can tell how hard you've been working, it's really an accomplishment!"

I started my journey after I hit an all time high after about 10 months of working from home, and knew I was going to have to go back to the office in a few months and was fed up. So, started last Jan 15th, and have been at it for nearly 22 months. I only lost 20lbs last year (was down 30lbs, but fell off the wagon over the holidays last year and put 10lbs back on), and then started in earnest after the holidays this year. I'm down 85 in total and this year have been losing 6-10lbs a month, most months (a couple higher or lower).

Still have a ways to go, but for the first time in my life, feel like it's actually a lifestyle change I can maintain, rather than a short-term diet.
