=========
WHO I AM
=========

I'm a proud mama of two cats, a lifelong vegetarian, and home-cooking enthusiast.

Over the years I've struggled a lot with anxiety and depression, which I'm sure has led to some poor food choices. I'm currently in therapy and working through my issues as best I can so I can try to improve my life going forward.

I also have a health condition which affects my mobility, so my weight problems are no doubt compounded by my lack of physical activity. I try to do what I can, however I sustained a bad knee injury last year and am still on my recovery journey. As I heal I hope to be able to start walking so I can get moving a bit more.

Around 10 years ago I lost over 100 lbs but I've since put it all back on. Maintenance is hard. I feel there's a lack of discussion and support around how to find a 'new normal' when making a significant lifestyle change. Hopefully I can do better this time.

=============
MY PHILOSOPHY
=============

I'm not following any particular diet, just doing simple calorie counting.

When it comes to food, I try to aim for an 'everything in moderation' approach. That means occasional treats and comfort foods are allowed as long as I can fit them within my daily calorie budget.

It's important to me that my food is appealing and tasty. I find it much harder to stick to a diet if I'm not enjoying it and I want to make long-term lifestyle changes that will continue beyond the weightloss.

My aims are better mobility, a more able body, and a better quality of life.

Has anyone sustained thier weight loss success?
The honest answer from me is no, I didn't keep it off. I lost about 100lbs and managed to maintain for several years, but ten years on I'm back where I started. Things started going backwards when I stopped going to the gym due the cost.

Ultimately, some will maintain and some won't. Every scenario and every person is different.

I need your opinions, please.

I've been looking at the challenges section of FS for a while now and the challenges often seem to have the same kind of goals (record what you eat, drink water, exercise x amount of time per day, etc). And I was just looking for something a bit...different.

And so an idea was born: WHO WANTS TO WALK TO MORDOR?

I could set it up as a FS challenge and work out weekly goals that match up with key locations and plot points on Frodo's journey through middle earth, and that way each weekly challenge would have a bit of a story behind it. And we could basically go on the adventure together in our own little fellowship Smile

Is this totally crazy or would others be interested in doing this with me?
