I am making a serious effort now to lose weight because I've gained 20 lbs in the last couple months, and I was already a small bit overweight to begin with. I just really lost control with binge eating the past few months. And boredom eating. So I'm trying my best to rein all that in and stop. It's hard.

I'm still stuck between 215 and 218 pounds. Give or take a pound or 2. Its been the same weight since Febuary. I've made a lot of progress with my anxiety and overall mental health in the mean time. Its just been the physical stuff thats made weight loss hard. I have confidence I'll lose weight and at least I'm not gaining. My goal is to get to 180. Which is only 38 pounds. Its totally doable.

A 5k this morning which felt hard work, I think I’m just out of practice and fitness.
I think I need to shake up my workout routine possibly too, running is easy in that I don’t have to think about it, but maybe it’s getting old now. I looked up ballet fitness classes but they were expensive and far away, so maybe I need to try a YouTube workout for that. |

@Discombobulated I'm so jealous you are able to run. I'm not able to go walking for exercise yet. I'm fine around the house and in general but walking on the hard street & sidewalk hurts.
I have been able to do pilates. I have found a some videos that don't hurt my pulled muscle though I am sore just from the exercise in other areas - arms & abs mostly. I have found a good free series on YouTube called Move with Nicole. I only do the beginner videos; I'm not ready for any harder than that! __________________ Bipolar 1, PTSD, anorexia, panic disorder, ADHD Seroquel, Cymbalta, propanolol, buspirone, Trazodone, gabapentin, lamotrigine, hydroxyzine, There's a crack in everything.

I've never been able to run. I mean I can run, at fast pace, but I can't jog at a steady pace for long distances. It's too boring, too much repetitive motion, too much pounding on my feet and knees. I used to bicycle, but its too dangerous now. I could probably do trail running since the pace and terrain vary.
I've added walking, crunches and pushups to my Finch App goals. So I do a 15-minute walk at about 5:30am, and 5 crunches & pushups nearly every day. The crunches are five straight up and five oblique on each side. __________________ Major Depressive Disorder; Sleep Apnea; possibly on the spectrum Nuvigil 50mg; Effexor 37.5mg Wellbutrin 100mg; meds for blood pressure & cholesterol |
