Hello everyone. Once upon a time I had an account on here, but I want to start fresh this time. Every other time I start a weight-loss/fitness regime, it becomes all-absorbing. I obsess and then burn out quickly. What I need to remember is that it's a marathon, not a sprint. It's a lifestyle change, not a temporary switch. I'm dedicated to this being the time I do it, without all the weight (plus plus!) coming back. Having tools to maintain will really help, and that's part of why I'm here - so I can find that kind of social support to help me dig into the process even when I think the work's done. My wife and I are planning for children, and I was at the point where I couldn't chase my cats effectively to cut their claws. And if I can't do that, how am I supposed to keep up with a toddler?
Anyway, I'm glad this is here, and I'll be back!
