I’m f 30s and about 187 (I’m 5’5”) I lost about 10lbs in 2020 but have gained it all back again. Bummer. Im trying out orange theory bc I need a kick start in my exercise routine. I’d love to be 135 but honestly I don’t know if that’s possible for me at this phase in my life. When I met my partner about 4 years ago I was like 150 or so and I felt pretty comfortable in my skin so I’d like to get back there. I think 150 for my height is considered a healthy BMI as well.

That said my weight is not my top priority…I prefer to just focus on overall health. I’ve lost and gained weight over the years and I’d rather just lose very slowly over a long period of time so that I have good habits.

But the biggest trouble for me is that I still think of food as a reward. Hard day at work? Let’s get a good meal to make it better. Great day? Let’s celebrate with a decadent dessert. Im terrible at moderation and really don’t like cico…if I could find a way to stop thinking of food as a reward I think that would solve a lot of my issues.
