Looking for inspiration.

I ran 4.3 miles yesterday! My longest run yet. Did 30 minutes a few weeks ago and now I'm close to 60 minutes.

50 year old woman. Almost exactly one year post hip replacement surgery. Have lost 50 pounds in the last 6 months and gone from having difficulty climbing any stairs at all and having to only use my good leg to climb, holding the railing tightly pre-surgery, to needing help to get up the stairs post surgery, to jogging up two flights with a tandem gait, or walking the two flights while carrying a full laundry basket. Can also balance in a K pose or tree pose on my “weak” leg for 30 seconds without holding anything for balance and doing 30 second wall sits.

I'm 45 and have thyroid issues. Been on WW for a month and an half and down 8lbs! Planning to stay strong and track through the holidays.

I got a FitBit at the beginning of the month and have become a bit obsessive about it: averaging 17,000 steps a day. My goal is to make it through October doing at least 15,000 steps a day.

Thank you. It's no always easy but it's doable. I know I'm worth it.

I love this. Good work! I’m gonna try the K pose and the wall sits. And the losing weight 😊

Wow.

Where did you start? What is your goal?

I am massively overweight... Have started Noom and walking at least 7500 steps everyday and watching what I eat. I eat breakfast every day, large salad with protein for lunch, some snacks of hummus and veggies, then a small dinner with some, but not a lot of carbs.

Down 18#. Slides off quickly when you are oevrweight as I am

At 42yo, I am 20lbs overweight, following covid and three miscarriages in the last couple years. In the last week I decided I am not going to continue in this trajectory and need to invest in myself so I can be healthy and around for my family and myself. I quit my nightly wine habit and my morning tea with sugar habit. I started walking a minimum of 10,000 steps (up from average of around 6,000) and am hitting my water goal and tracking macronutrients through Fitbit. I have lost zero weight on the scale so far, but I am sleeping better, my HRV is improved and I’d say keeping low carb/higher protein is keeping my mood weigh more steady throughout the day.
