Finally got fed up with being overweight ever since I got out of the Air Force in 1992.
I was on the weight control program in 1992 when I got out and just GAVE UP COMPLETELY in regards to weight.
In a matter of 6 months my weight ballooned up almost 100 lbs.

So this year I decided to do what I'd talked about for the past 4 or 5 years and GET FIT!!

I'm 5'4" and was 244 lbs or so when a co-worker offered to walk with me at lunch - we do between a mile and 2.2 miles depending on how much time we have (gov't contractor so ALL TIME MUST BE MADE UP)...

Then I joined the L.A. Fitness that is very close to my house, then signed up for weekly trainer appointments.
With that kind of financial comittment I won't give up as easily!!

So far I haven't even lost 10 lbs yet, HOWEVER, I feel a LOT better.
The daily gym visits combined with walking a mile or two at lunch have helped immensely.

Can't wait to get to my initial goal of UNDER 200 lbs - haven't been that weight since 1993 or so!!
