I'm kind of late at joining as I'm very close to goal. I've been lurking for a long time though... definitely got some great tips from this site.
I'm a former marathon runner who moved up high 3.5 yrs ago and stopped so much running, but remained active. This past winter, I switched jobs and focused solely on work. Even gave up my gym membership!
I had great success workwise however, and once the snow melted and I had to get out of my fleece, boots and baggy pants, I discovered I'd gained at least 12 lbs from my normal weight.
That's awful!
So, I started counting calories, running, back to the gym and cleaned up my eating. I'm almost back to goal and feeling good.
Now it's just my lifestyle and I won't be letting go of it, even when the snow starts falling once again.
Planning to stick around here and get to know some of you!
Hello from the Rockies!
Good luck with your weight loss!
