Hey all, my name is Amy and I started my weight loss journey again yesterday. About 25 years ago I lost about 100 pounds and I kept it off for four pregnancies and I was a runner, running many half marathons and lifting weights, at least an hour a day. I was fit and healthy until Covid. My husband traveled Monday through Friday and I was a single mom with a full-time stressful career, plus all the other crazy things that Covid brought. I don’t know what happened but things are not going well with my husband and I were now going through a horrible divorce, and he left me a year and a half ago for another woman. That’s after I had already gained quite a bit of weight we had been together for 30 years, since we were 15, My self-esteem took a huge dive. I got really depressed and gained even more weight. I am just so determined now, and so motivated to get back to how I used to be and start my life new, independent, and healthy. My first goal is to lose 65 pounds after I do that then I will try to lose another 15 but each day I’m just going to try to focus on that particular day and making sure I get some type of exercise and fall of the calorie budget, I would love to continue the conversation with you all each day to continue to motivate each other and I hope each other one each of us struggles if you’re all willing so far the last two days have been great. Usually for me after the first week or two, is when I start to struggle and give up.
