Linked here is the page where I will log my progress every week with my newest fitness challenge to myself. I just finally added my “before pictures,” which are a good reality check. HA!
Including this past “ramp week,” the challenge is a solid 12 weeks to get me through the running season. This first week has not been great – I will post stats tomorrow. 😉

You are seriously amazing. I found (and have been following) your other blog while I was deep in the infertility weeds myself. I came out of the IF days with 2 beautiful boys (now 5 and 3) via IVF and since then, have seriously struggled with my weight. I am currently sitting at about 180lbs. Before IF hit me, I was always in shape, super sporty, and led a fairly healthy lifestyle. For me, 145/150 is a super healthy weight as I have a muscular build. I feel totally overwhelmed with starting this journey. You’re such an inspiration and I will try to draw from that to get myself back in the zone. Just know that you’re inspiring and motivating complete strangers out in the world wide web!

One more comment … how do you measure your body fat? Do you have an at home measuring tool? If so, where do you get something like that?

I use an Omron hand-held monitor. I also use my Tanita scale and the two are really close in what they report. The Omron is my go-to because it’s easy and not as flakey (scale will drop my fat drastically after a shower and the Omron not so much). This morning, the Omron said 24.2% and the scale said 25.2%, so very close. I also have calipers that show the same thing as the Omron and scale, but it’s more of a range. As long as you use the same thing consistently, that’s what matters. I’d get the Omron. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=omron+body+fat

Oh, thank you! I am really lucky that I like working out!
Sounds like you and I had very similar IF experiences, even down to the two boys and ages!
I started out around 180 two years ago and am pretty happy sitting at 145. I could weigh less, but it’s too much work to maintain and not enjoyable. I started out with a 10 week class that was a true financial commitment so it was easy to stick with it. I always need that kick-start and then I am off and running. But man, it took mental preparation to sign up for that class!
You can do it!!!!!
Thank you for the kind words!
