I looked up one day and I had gained back 37 pounds and did that whole, "Oh, HEYALLLLL NAH" thing and started back with monitoring my calories and trying to get more exercise. My gain was mostly due to being off-plan, not exercising as much, indulging a LOT, and dealing with some of my grief and joy with old coping mechanisms of binging.
I have lost 22 of the 37 pounds I gained and have my eye on losing another 20 pounds as my first short-term goal. That goal actually puts me 5 pounds below my initial lowest weight but my plan was always to lose another 50 slowly and methodically.
I'll do it! It will be slow work but I'll do it by cutting back on my calories and getting back to yoga and walking and I SUPER look forward to getting my curvy self into a very cute dress I've been saving  |
That's wonderful, Medusa! You'll do it, I know you will.
Last summer, I was bicycling to work, back and forth each day. Three months later, I slimmed down by nearly 45 pounds.
my goal, at this point, is to regain independent mobility, because once I do? I'll be riding my bicycle again and will hope to shed another 50 pounds.
