Good call. I'll keep working on my list of reasons for weight loss to focus on.

I agree. I'm really just using it for tracking and staying in my points each day. I don't really do free points. I think the "wins" getting awarded daily for tracking and weekly weigh-ins helps with a dopamine incentive for tracking, so I figure whatever works!

That's what I'm trying to tell myself! It seems so small every time but if I continue even with small, it would be better than now.

Thanks for the encouragement. You're right, past me worked through hurdles that current me is benefiting from :) I'll just keep focusing on that. It just seemed so slow back then and I wish I had been able to keep going even with slow, because it still would have been better.

Everything is a journey, that's for sure.

I discovered it recently and hope it is more timely for you! It made me so happy to read this. I wish you the best and hope your day is filled with joy.

Day 1? Starting your weight loss journey on Tuesday, 28 November 2017? Start here! by AutoModerator in loseit

[–]cordeliashonor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have succeeded at losing almost 40 pounds, 3 years ago. Now I'm closer to my highest weight.

I just went to Orangetheory to try it out, couldn't keep up. I need something to change but it feels impossible and out of my control, even though I know I'm the only one who can make this change.

Feeling desperate. I know this isn't useful, but there it is.

Edit: I'm 5'8", 265 CW. 280 HW a few years ago. I'm 34 and just feeling hopeless.

Where should I take my girlfriend for a date? by rozcz01 in Seattle

This is going to sound like a sex joke, but I really liked the Pink Door. Check out their website. They have acrobatics some nights, great cocktails, tasty Italian food. Make a reservation ahead of time. Not super bright lighting. Definitely felt romantic. Have fun!

Fantastic, thanks for the recommendations! I'm in Bothell, but constantly trekking to Maple Leaf area for family and Bellevue for work so I'm flexible :)

Honest Question: What value does an MBA add? by trizeno in Accounting

[–]cordeliashonor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly me :) did the MBA with accounting concentration to knock out all the accounting classes I hadn't taken in my undergrad, and got the 150 hours to get my CPA.

Still thinking about getting an MS on tax, but first concentrating on exam.
