Hi everyone, new here. Hi Josie, been following you a few months on Instagram and finally have gotten myself to be consistent with my workouts.
A little bit more about me: I'm 39, no children, have been overweight and obese most of my life. Over the past 5 years, I've gone down in weight from 355lbs, to now 228 lbs. I've lingered in my 230s for the last 3 years. 2 years ago I injured myself from bad lifting form in my job, and then proceeded to have the worst back pain unimaginable for months until I found out I had 4 herniated discs. I haven't completely recovered but I'm in a flare up right now, and my orthopedic doctor said, I gotta keep losing weight. Hard to lose weight with PCOS and this bad back but I've got no choice. I found your page and I tried a few of your walking workouts and they have been so good for my back and my mobility, but most of all, your spirit radiates through the screen, and that resonates more with me than any other fitness influencer I've come across social media. This is a long shot for me, I'm still not down to my ideal weight, but I'm trying my best, and I hope others here know, that I'm rooting for you all. Ty.
