Thankyou for telling this to us. You sound like you've got your goals in good order. I've been on my own fitness journey for the last (almost year?) I seem to recall when this daily thread first started up I was doing a daily fitness post. I stopped at one point due to ex/relationship issues and problems with time and life balance. I've started again due to the fitness chat channel that was started in one discord server I'm in. Everyone gradually fell out until it was just me and this other woman living near Atlanta Georgia. We basically are the weight thread now lol, with us at opposite ends of the world and opposite day/night. We do a weekly weigh-in where we post our gains or losses and talk about the hows and whys. We had all sorts of odd things in common and we just clicked. We're both 50+ ladies working heavy manual jobs looking to pursue better fitness, with weight loss as a bonus. We're both already physically active and strong but overweight and menopausal, which has it's own challenges. We've tried different things and shared our progress and really spurred each other on. I've managed to build muscle and lose 8kgs since I started. I spend some spare time looking for exercises which which can be done anywhere, any time, are easy for strong hefty women to do and won't trash my joints (my knees and wrists are buggered, and a lot of these skinny little things buzzing around on social media have no idea what it's like for a 90+kg woman with dicky knees and a bodgy back trying to exercise, and it shows in their exercises). I've been working on a routine that suits me and basically does the job and makes me feel good. It's a work in progress, as are we all! Good on you for identifying potential for positive change!
