I’m proud that even though I have stumbled along the way, I have continued to be mindful of my mind and body. Down 8 pounds and this is just the beginning...

Yes! We are human! For me this is key. It’s So important to remember that this is not a quick fix or even just a 6 week challenge. This is a lifestyle change for all of us. A new way of thinking and changing our relationship with food. Be kind to yourself! Get back on track and keep moving forward. It’s a journey...with stumbles and challenges...but hey...WeGotThis! 🙌🏻

Cold and rainy Saturday in Arkansas!

i Have been focusing on clean eating and not worrying as much about exercise, just doing what I can and walking and making sure I don’t sit too long at work without moving. I’m noticing a change in how I think about food, I think before eating mindlessly. Decided to weight today since weighing on Jan 1 and am down 4.8 lbs! Still have a long way to go but I’m in this for the rest of my life. No more yo yo dieting but taking care of myself because I am worth it, WE are ALL with it! @Robbie thanks for waking me up those months ago when I watched you on Castaways and your video before you went to the island that had such a profound impact on me. I GOT THIS! YOU GOT THIS! Together...WeGotThis!

@Rodney Polston sounds like you are off to a great start! Dont lose sight of the progress you’ve made to this point and just make it sunrise to sunset. Travel can be tough but if you’re prepared and in the right frame of mind you can do it!!!

@Brenda Burns I am with you in the mindset thing! This time I finally get it too. I am practicing mindful eating too. Before I eat anything I pay attention to it...slow down... Food is not the issue for me either but my relationship with food. The emotional triggers are key to identifying and facing. We are on this island together and #wegotthis

I’m going on an island and am bringing my journal, picture of my girls, eggs, salsa, jerky and matches!

Yes Robbie! WeGotThis! I worked out in my yard today since it was sunny and warm! Being mindful of what o eat and drinking lot of water. My daughters are my WHY...and I am my WHY. I am worth it. We are all worth it

@Shirley I’m going to look into this! Thanks!

My stretching I do is from yoga classes I have done. I’m planning to sign up for some yoga classes in a couple of weeks. Kind of something to look forward to! In the meantime I will keep moving!!!🙂

Feeling like the only old lady here who has physical limitations that prevent a lot of exercises! Played sports when I was younger and had back surgery a year ago and have a knee that has zero cartilage...limits a lot of the exercises I used to do! My focus right now is water, water, water and walking during my workday. Went to the gym on day 1 and did treadmill and some light upper body work. Have been doing stretches every day. Focusing on clean eating right now and hoping when some weight comes off the exercising will be more doable! In it for the long haul! #WeGotThis

Safe travels Robbie. I am taking black eyed peas and some greens to my parents who are 87 and 90! Seeing them always makes me smile! Am drinking lots of water and walking as much as possible. We are in this together!

We’re in this together! Looking forward to this journey with everyone. #WeGotThis

Yes we do!

I understand exactly what you're saying! I went back to the gym today and walked on the treadmill and did a light upper body workout. Came home and took my two dogs out for a walk. I'm focusing on drinking water. I know I don't drink enough and so my goal for now is to drink water and move each day. When I first watched Castaways I thought "Meh, this is going to be a silly show". When the video of Robbie came on and he told his story, I literally cried because I could relate so much. Throughout the show I was rooting for Robbie and was so amazed by his positive outlook. 2019 is going to be my year! Robbie has given me hope...and I haven't had that in a long time. WE GOT THIS!!!

I’m right there with you Shelby! I’m ready to make some lifestyle changes and leave the self loathing island for good!
