Good to know people were taking something from the post, not being bored/annoyed. Always feel free to comment, the purpose here is to encourage each other and so far I've not encountered anyone who was unpleasant with their comments. That is rare on other social media sites.

As for your mojo, it is often hard to find, sometimes you just have to grab whatever is available and MAKE it your mojo. Sometimes your "mojo" comes as a big kick in the butt. A year and 5 weeks ago, I had one of those eye opening medical moments and decided I WAS going to lose weight. I don't know if that was mojo or just desperation. I know I was going to do what it took to end/decrease the AFib I had been experiencing and information said weight loss could help.

After 6 months, which took me into the holidays, I drifted off but I did maintain where I was. The problem was that I just kept maintaining but without getting back into loss mode for 6 months. Then, when I hit the anniversary of the beginning, I "grabbed" myself by the collar and said, "ENOUGH! Get back at it" which is what lead me to the daily reporting. It was just a way to make myself publicly accountable. It put me in a position where it would be embarrassing(to me) to admit I was just blowing off my plan to lose. It seems to be working so I'll stick with doing some reporting, just to keep me honest.

Truth is, I was a good 60 pounds overweight back last year and had been for quite a few years but as I had aged I asked myself why I was dieting as it requires more effort than just eating what I wanted. In the past it had generally been for appearance reasons, wanting to look "better" but I decided I had no real interest in making an appearance for anyone else plus every time I had lost before, with that in mind, I gained it all back ++. I had concluded that I would be content with where my body seemed happy and generally, that made me happy.

Rising blood pressure was not enough to motivate me to lose, although it did for a while but then I had regained the lost pounds and decided since they make a pill for that, why stress. When the AFib cropped up however, it freaked me out. After the first 6 months though, it seemed fairly controlled then I woke with a racing heart, continuous flutter in my chest which lasted for 5-10 minutes. Pretty short actually but the longest I'd had in months and the first one that I didn't run to the ER (only twice) for. I was able to trip it back into rhythm but I did not want to have that again so started reading up on the condition and found the possible weight link.

That was enough to motivate me. So far it seems to be better. I wore the holter monitor a couple weeks ago and it appeared there were no episodes of AFib, although I do have some "skipped" beats which are more likely PVC's which feel like a skip. I am committed to maintaining in the future because I know I will be contributing to the return of the AFib if I don't.
So, my short post turned epic. That's how I get late at night.

@DotLewis Thank you for taking the trouble to reply and trying to help me get back into line. I'm going through a difficult time at the moment, with no end in sight, and although I know my physical problems (plantar fasciitis and an arthritic hip) would be greatly helped by getting my weight down, my mobility problems do not seem to be sufficient to give me the jolt I need to get started again. The Afib must be frightening - my doctor threatens me with heart problems if I don't get my weight down, but since I am actually very fit, apart from the joint problems it doesn't mean much to me. Keep up the reporting. it sounds as if you are making progress, and if you have setbacks it helps to talk them through, I think.
