How are you doing October peeps? Have you reached goal yet? I have not

I am 20-30 pounds from goal, and am focusing on strength training again.

How are you?

Great to see that there are people active on "our" forum.

Don't look at that small number...think about how you have come. Part of those 20-30lbs are excess skin.

I am guilty for not eating the most nutritious options. Seem to go for what goes down the easiest.

Other than the last lbs - how you doing?

Things have been hard. I am still struggling with rny complications. Recently developed reactive hypoglycemia, so now I am really trying to re-learn my body all over again.

Despite the Complications, I love the new body. I love that a 5k run is super easy and fun!

This summer alone I have signed up for several races, 7 to be exact haha.

The biggest hurdle I am struggling with is the excess skin. I know I have a bit to lose, but when doing yoga, especially a plank, I hate how my skin hangs and touches the floor.

Some days I can handle this better than others. I probably will not have plastics until I have kids haha.

I am just really trying to tone up my muscles a lot, and focus on being ripped under this skin.

It does help. I love yoga and the days after I do yoga I care less about the skin.

I just consider this to be another hurdle to jump through in the mind.

I am ok with saggy skin as long as the fat doesn't make it "muffin toppy " haha

I don't always eat the best nutrition, and find eating so difficult. Especially lunches! I never know what to make!

How are you doing?
