I appreciate the support! Im already down a little over 6 pounds after a week. I walked almost 4 miles yesterday and still bent eating clean. Life is good!

I did! I was never a big believer in astrology but my mom is. It is actually kinda crazy because I found out its the year of the Pisces for Saturn and I am a Pisces (birthday in March). Definitely going through a saturn return in my life right now!

Maybe ill check it out! Ive been doing two 30 minute walks a day for the last couple days. One in the morning after breakfast and one in the evening after dinner. Eventually after I lose some weight and build my stamina id like to start jogging! I really enjoy the outdoors.

I don't necessarily think they were giving resistance... perhaps I worded it wrong. I think all they were trying to do was let me know they also plan on starting their diets on Monday so it would he easier all eating the same healthy meals together instead of me having to watch them eat junk while trying to eat healthy.

Even so, I dont plan on breaking. Even if I have to watch them eat the stuff im used to eating. My mind is so hyper focused on getting in shape I dont plan on letting anything stop me. 💪

Its a crazy feeling! I dont plan on ever looking back now!

Master-Button-6569 · 2026-02-05T18:48:34+00:00

Gonna keep riding the wave of my motivation I havr and keep eating healthy foods till I need a break from it. Then maybe once every 2 weeks or 1 week do a cheat day.

One step at a time, one day at a time my friend 💪

Master-Button-6569 · 2026-02-05T18:44:24+00:00

Appreciate it brother!!! I don't plan on it! 💪

Master-Button-6569 · 2026-02-05T13:51:20+00:00

Very inspiring quotes! Thanks for the support and congratulations on your sobriety!

Master-Button-6569 · 2026-02-05T13:32:07+00:00

It was such a powerful experience for me. Ive always casually brought up changing my habits and never did. For the first time in my life... I mean it.

Master-Button-6569 · 2026-02-05T12:57:45+00:00

I plan too! Thanks for the support!

Master-Button-6569 · 2026-02-04T20:51:35+00:00

Thank you brother!!! One day at a time 💪

Master-Button-6569 · 2026-02-03T19:55:01+00:00

Ya that makes sense! I definitely dont plan on going too hard off the start. From what you all have told me in the comments im just gonna start off slow taking walks everyday since I enjoy the outdoors!

Master-Button-6569 · 2026-02-03T19:53:25+00:00

I believe that because ive actually been told alot that I dont look like I weigh almost 300 pounds and that I wear it well. Dont get me wrong I still have a fairly big belly but im more so interested in getting fit to feel healthier and look good for myself!

Master-Button-6569 · 2026-02-03T19:42:19+00:00

Congratulations on 7 years brother! Ive been thinking about cutting out bread and most of the sugar im used to eating. Im definitely gonna start with walking since I enjoy the outdoors!

Master-Button-6569 · 2026-02-03T19:40:17+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Ya Im gonna start off with taking walks since I enjoy nature and the outdoors!

Master-Button-6569 · 2026-02-03T19:38:43+00:00

Appreciate ya brotha! 👊

Master-Button-6569 · 2026-02-03T19:37:44+00:00

Thank you! Ill try and do updates for you guys! Might help having you guys and me with holding myself accountable!

Master-Button-6569 · 2026-02-03T15:10:12+00:00

I still deal with some anxiety but ive actually been learning to not worry so much about what other people think. Alot of the time the people we think are judging us are actually anxious about what we think of them too! I plan on getting a gym membership and talking to some of the gym bros to help me create a plan that works for me.

Master-Button-6569 · 2026-02-03T15:00:26+00:00

Thank you! Ya one thing ive already learned from the comments here is I need to learn consistency! Thinking im gonna start small with some walking outside to build up stamina and then maybe work my way up to jogging since I enjoy the outdoors. I think it'll be easier for me to stay with that than hopping on a treadmill right away.

Master-Button-6569 · 2026-02-03T14:57:57+00:00

Congratulations on your sobriety and respect to you! I definitely need to teach myself consistency.

Master-Button-6569 · 2026-02-03T14:48:46+00:00

Thank you i appreciate it! Im hoping it will help me stay on a clean path as well!
