With support from FatSecret, I lost 60 pounds in 2010-12, but my life went a bit off the track at that point, as I became a part-time caregiver first for my mom and then for my sister, who passed away during the pandemic. Between the stress of those responsibilities and a worsening back/foot injury, I let myself go, and now I have to start over again. I tried to retire last year, but it didn't stick, so I am actively working -- primarily grant writing -- plus I spend a fair amount of time walking my dogs and taking them to various classes (agility, rally, etc.), so I'm not entirely sedentary -- especially since I just got my bad foot injected and it's a life-changing positive result, at least for 5-6 months. I want to feel good about myself again, so I'm ready to start.
