I lost control and I am reining it back in joined the gym where my 11 year old can train as well so be nice to have quality time with him.
Also asked for a Garmin fitness watch for Christmas so I can keep a watch on my activity.
Started to get in the right frame of mind even with the pain in my SI joint & leg I will not let it beat me.
Merry Christmas everyone and have a fantastic time with loved ones 😘😘😘⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️⛄️
Welcome to this group. The people here are supportive and understand what it is like to have to readjust your world to loose weight.
Hi Mmartin,
Lovely that you've joined the gym to train with your 11 year old - quality time is really great! Also you can enjoy your work-outs at the same time.
Hope you enjoy using your Christmas gift of the fitness watch - hope your joint and leg pain is bearable, and that you enjoy a lovely Christmas!
If you fancy joining us for a Monday weigh-in, then look out for the post I'll be doing just before 7am on Monday 28th December - you'd be very welcome to join us, if it's your cup of tea.
Happy Christmas.

Maybe you should have signed your son up for the Around the World challenge too Mmartin
Merry Christmas to you too
Good morning and welcome, this is a brilliant forum for exchanging ideas on food and fitness and a whole host of other things.
It's a great resource that has enabled me to go from OBESE to HEALTHY in less than four months.
I would recommend regular visits to the forum to get the most out of it.
Wishing you and your family a Happy Christmas
Good luck - I have a Garmin watch and love it. I use it for walking - so much easier than the phone app.
Good for you starting your journey Monday and I hope Santa brings your Garmin for Christmas. This will a new beginning a time to take control back. You can do this Mmartin you really can. Hope all goes well and I wish you a successful journey
Merry Christmas x
It's a start 
Beginning to a new start!
