@Isabel Athina Mitzen yeah, I was just bumming it on the couch. No kind of activities besides video games, and work lol. I went from 27Olbs, last time I went to the doctors, to 220 lbs the most recent. I’m having back pain, so I thought being active would help. I have put in a lot of work in that little time I think. The first 3 months I was going to the rink 3 times a week. Went down to 2 times for awhile . Now I’m back to 3+ week at the rink. And have been doing 20+ mile trial rides on top of that ,once a week. I’ve taken some decent falls, nothing broken, my knee is still bothersome after my last fall. Think I twisted it wrong or something. It’s kinda painful to bend. Hoping that goes away with time. So I contribute a lot of it, to just sticking with it. Luckily at my local rink, some one else started at the same time, so we kind of fuel each other to get better.

@B Solo thank you

I tried these outdoor ones too, but they didn’t come out as good.

@Isabel Athina Mitzen yeah, that’s the plan. I’ve never danced either. So learning all kinds of stuff 🤓

Yeah. I seen some people Doing some cool stuff last night. I think I need to get manuals on toes down. It looks like a lot of the moves I want to follow, have a lot of toe work. I can move around in a straight line on my heels and toes. But it’s not comfortable, no leg muscle , or muscle memory for it yet. I’m still scared for the initial start. But it will flow eventually if I keep practicing, Getting better and better every time I skate.
