I  am 45 yrs old a leo. Latina mixed  I started out on this journey 415 pounds I got down to 165 .over the years I.have yoyoed with my weight I .emotionally ate.made excuses.used my dads death with cancer  tore my.world apart and i used it  as a excuse to eat ,failed relationship I ate. Food WAS my.comfort. I gained back into the 200s ..well with hard work dedication..im back in onederland.

Progress not perfection

 

Time.to get.this party started its time to kick ass . .its time to finish what I started and keep  improving.I believe there is no finish line

Glad you decided to join in.  I'm here to follow and give support.  Look forward to watching your progress.

 

Check out other in both battle logs and challenges.  There will be a new challenge starting in about a week so any challenges you checkout now will be ending.  But you can see lots of peoples results.  Reply to people whose posts you find interesting, even if its just a friendly hello.

Give support means kicking my ass if I.need it right..thanks bro.this is a cool site  

[Xena]

Hi Lynneta...I saw your post in Sloth's log and decided to swing by. Welcome!

 

I second what Peelout said. You'll have to decide what might work best for you. If you are looking for a lot of interaction and support from people on the forum, it's easier to get to know people within the 4-week challenges. There is one officially starting in about a week, but the open the forum a week early (probably tomorrow...depends in time zones etc) to let people get started.

 

Since you have thought about goals that would be useful to you on a ~month time scale, a 4-week challenge might be perfect.

 

It's also totally cool to hang out where you are in the battle logs. It just tends to be a little less traveled.

[lynneta]

Hey xena..love.the name use to watch the warrior princess..

 

Yea.I.am definitely planning on joining the challenges

I.love interaction and getting to know people

 

Thank you.for the welcome. 

[lynneta]

Today is my rest day,but that doesn't mean im not focused on clean eating..

 

I just read a eye opening article on gluten sensitivity which is something I have from my ulcerative colitis.

 

This will help me keep my focus on my  no gluten goal.

 

Tomorrow I am ready to.start a strong week

 

Looking forward to.the next four week challenge starting.

 

Time to rise and soar.

[peelout]

Just a comment.  It isn't necessary to wait until official challenge start date to start if you don't want to wait.  A lot of start sometime during the "one week break" between challenges and we call it week 0.  Whatever your preference is fine.

[lynneta]

Oh you.know  me.im always working on my plan,but I am waiting for the challenges for more interaction.

 

I am liking the.format of this site though...is there a way of doing colored txt ..

[lynneta]

So I had my first obstacle in my no gluten rule.

My brother and roommate brought in hot pizza.it smelled amazing,buti know how my body feels and after reading the article on gluten.it made me realize with my autoimmune disease gluten is really poison to my body.so it just enforces how important accomplishing this goal is for my health.

 

I made.some fresh popcorn instead..I also I am researching free meditations as this is another goal of mine.

I think Gluten allergys are caused by reading about Gluten.

 Lol if that was the case I.would stop reading. I don't have a underlined A I have.a underlined u which just underlines things..I want color   

[peelout]

Its the 14th button from the left.

[lynneta]

I am lost .what are you talking about.

 

I.have bold italics underlined smile face link  . 

[peelout]

This is my ribbon.  Not sure why yours does not have as much stuff on it.  Probably better that you don't.  I've seen what you do when you have access to color.

[lynneta]

What browser you using.lmao..yes I.love color

[peelout]

google chrome

 

[lynneta]

Me too,but.im on my.phone but still.thats strange 

[Sloth the Enduring]

No gluten is the worst.  I really miss pizza too.  

[Elastigirl]

Wandered over her after I saw you post on Sloth's site that you like kettlebells. As a fellow KB lover, I wanted to come over and say hi. Super impressed with all the weight you've released already.

 

Around here there are some places that have gluten free pizza. I also can't do cheese, so by the time I do fake cheese and fake crust, it's notexactly the same, but at least it is somewhat pizza. Good for you for saying no, and remembering how it makes you feel.

Yea gluten kills my stomach.woke up to fresh donuts..I live in a very divided kitchen.

 

Im plant based...I actually follow the peotective diet. It's working for me..but my family follow a sad diet.

 

Sooo I have to resist a lot of crap.

 

Have you tried some of the alternative flours  and grains to make a crust..

Hey girl..thanks for stopping by my little  space.

Yea I love my kb.it's only 10 lbs but I have rheumatoid arthritis so that's what I can handle right now

 

Yeaaah someone else uses release instead of lose when it comes to weight.I don't expect to find those bitches I released again lol 

 

Its been a lot of ups downs yoyos..my dads death put me in a spiral than I lost a  relationship..now im finally in a good head space to kick the rest if this fats ass to the curb. 

 

Ohh I love gf crust.I learned to not have expectations of things tasting like the real thing,but it can still be delish in another way.

I have to take it day by day with gluten..like the donuts.. So im going to make pineapple coffee cake muffins.

 

I.also eat no sugar...I know im strange lol

If you want to add colors like peelout is doing you have a couple options from your phone. On Android if you click the three vertical tops at the top right of your browser then "request desktop site" from that menu. You'll get the toolbar he showed.

Otherwise you have to code it. but I forget how to pull it off on this forum.
