Congratulations to all of you!! I love this type of thread every year but never felt able to participate before. This year I finally can!! After slowly but steadily putting on weight over the past 10 perimenopausal years, I joined the Losers, Maintainers and No Gainers check-in in the spring and have since lost over 40 lbs! I reached and far surpassed my goal and have more energy than I have in years! I have also started consistently walking on a daily basis since that time also and my cardiovascular endurance is amazing as well. Both of these accomplishments came at a time in my life when I was almost convinced I couldn't lose weight or gain fitness at 56 years old. I am inspired and encouraged by all of your accomplishments as well.

This is the year everything clicked for me. (It only took 20yrs to get here! )
I found a way of eating that makes me feel great and helped me shed the weight. No more food struggles! I also rekindled my love of KB workouts and the FIRM. I throw in some barre/fusion and I am happy, happy, happy. All around big year for me and health and fitness and mindset. |

I'm much stronger than I was a year ago. I don't have a specific measurement of that, but I'm lifting heavier weights than ever, so I'm happy. I also gained a few pounds (I think, based on others' scales, see below), but everything fits the same so that means a lot of it is muscle. Yay!
Also, I've been a once-a-day scale-stepper for years and a couple months ago I threw my scale in the garbage. It was awesome. |
