    That’s a lot of truly brilliant things well done. I’m really impressed by the computer tinkering, I’ve always struggled with that. That’s A LOT of weight, you’ve worked hard to do that. What inspired you to lose weight?

      Thanks 😁 I had always wanted to lose weight (I gained it around college) but it felt impossible at times since I am disabled. When covid happened, I read a lot of stuff about overweight and obese people dying from covid. So I’ve been taking steps since then, reducing/replacing my food, weighing my food, etc. It was very hard but I’ve seen a consistent slope since then. I also downloaded a new app called Walkscape, it is like Runescape except you power everything with your steps which has encouraged me to walk more on my good days. There is a community for it btw !walkscape@lemmy.world. I don’t think I had covid at any point, maybe I was asymptomatic, and had the vaccines as soon as they were ready. But still, seeing my old clothes fitting again is great.
