Time to join in
 

My name is Terri and I'm 53 years old. My DH and I live a nomadic life as full-time RVers. We decided to pursue our dream of seeing the US while still young enough to do so. After DH retired, we hit the road and it has been 2 1/4 years now and we still love the lifestyle. The lifestyle does come with some challenges. RVers love to eat and for the most part are very social so there are potlucks and good restaurants to share for each new area we visit. Who knows if we will ever return to that area and we may have missed some fabulous food lol.

Anyway, I have spent most of life overweight and simply have gotten tired of the extra weight plus I had my first medical issue that the extra weight didn't cause but it didn't help it either. So in December 2009, I decided it was time for a change and started counting calories, eating more whole foods, and exercising. It was about this time I discovered 3FC and have enjoyed the success stories, the motivational discussions, and the camaraderie. The weight is slowly coming off and I feel that even though I have been lurking, all of you have played a part in keeping my mindset focused to where I know I can do this. I need to come out from the darkness and be a part of this inspiring group. I hope to be an active participant and hope to encourage someone else out there who is lurking and unsure of themselves to join in.

Thanks for reading.

Congrats slowlane for losing weight. My dad is a big RV person, he sold all his stuff and now that is the way he lives. Anyway good luck, drink lots of water, and since you RV I bet there are alot of nice parks you could take your exercise walks in!! Hope to hear from you again. I am cheering for you!!

Nice hearing from you leitnerfarmlabs! You are correct, there are always good places to walk in or around RV parks. I make sure I get in my 10,000 steps daily. DH and I even started adding jogging to our walks three times a week (sort of like C25k training) in hopes to do a 5K this summer. Must be working as I'm finally below 200 lbs, WHOO HOO, for the first time in almost three years. Looks like we are the same height and have the same weight goal in mind. I wish you success with meeting all your goals. I'm cheering for you also!! Stay in touch.
