in Introduce Yourself
My husband and I are taking a trip of a lifetime to Sweden, Denmark, and Norway in July, and I have made a promise to myself to get in shape. This means losing 25 lb. and exercising 4 days a week. . . .

Day 1 is going great . . . but I fear the day my pink cloud bursts. This is why I'll need a lot of support!

Thanks,

Debbi

    It's all about dedication, how long you're willing to go. When things get rough (and they will during the first 3 weeks of working out) just think about what you have to do THIS day to get through. Tomorrow is another day, and we can worry about it when the time comes.

    Hey Debbi,
    The good thing about this site is that you are not alone and we are here for you. Obviously, we wouldn't be on a site that has the word Pal in it if we could do it my ourselves...so girl, remember we are watching and cheering. You can "friend" me if you like.

    Keep posting and working your program...you have a wonderful trip at the end of this round, but don't forget...this is a life style change & it takes real dedication. You can do it :flowerforyou:

    I Zumba, work out on the elliptical and walk my girls.

    Hi Debbie. Welcome to the site, I think it is working for me. I'm 50 and have been looking for some pals about the same age. You can friend me if you like, maybe we can support each other!
