[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m going to check in again, though I think I’m talking to myself at this point! Mid 40s 5’6” woman. Back on track this week and I’m down to 139 lbs, for a total of 40 lost. Feels harder and harder to get these pounds off the more I lose. But I feel great, I love the new clothes I’ve gotten, I can run! Me! Run! A lot. I no longer gasp for breath during a fitness class, my chronic asthma is easier to deal with, my BMI is into the normal range. I’m going to keep trying to get down to 135, but I’m not going to beat myself up if I can’t get there. [/quote]

I’m impressed by your progress — and by your attitude!  It’s good, I think, that you’re not going to obsess about the numbers on the scale — but  celebrate how you feel, and the joys that you’re experiencing with exercise.  [/quote]

Thanks. I’ve struggled with weight my whole adult life. I know how to lose weight, but have at times  over the last 25 years let the weight creep on, then I take it off again because I get out of the habits needed to maintain. Also, in previous iterations of my weight loss journey I never added in exercise beyond walking. And I can be a bit of a perfectionist as well as competitive even with myself, so the Apple Watch I got to kick all this off has been an extreme motivator to me. I want to close my rings. And if I could cover 10 miles yesterday, why not 11 today? Or I moved for 100 minutes yesterday, why not 110 today? I’m hoping that these additional tools at disposal this go around will help me do better. The whole Covid thing combined with simultaneous illness for a parent and an IL plus a long term job loss for my spouse really through me for a loop and I basically just gave trying to do anything more than keep my job and deal with virtual school for  2 years and got way way off track.
