POUNDS TO LOSE = 7 LBS
GOAL WEIGHT = 136.5
Hi all,
Yes, to the challenge! I really need the motivation, and am shooting for 5 lbs. by St. Patty's, so this will keep me going after that.
I started to get serious about losing in January. About 4 years ago I came down with very achey joints and muscles, fatique, and tingly hands and feet. It was pretty severe for about 6 months, and I virtually stopped exercising. Before this happened, I had been very active and exercised pretty intensely. I did resume exercise eventually, but it is much lighter, mostly walking. I was tested for MS, had blood work for numerous things, but I never got any diagnosis. I am MUCH better now, but in the last 2 years I have gained 20 lbs, which feels like a lot on my frame. It's still frustrating to me that I can't do all the things I used to, but I just want to be as healthy as possible, lose the extra weight, and get my fitness up. Sorry so long, just wanted to introduce myself a little since I'm fairly new here... even though I've been posting away!
This challenge will help motivate me to meet those goal. Thanks!!
