When I started mfp, I weighed 255. I decided to do diet only, and to incorporate exercise later....I guess I was afraid that if I did it all at once, I would become overwhelmed and quit.
So when I reached the 240s, I started using my treadmill for 15 minutes a day, approx 5-6 days a week. That was about all I could handle. I made a deal with myself that when I got into the 230s, I would up it to 20 minutes. I would continue this pattern, upping my exercise by five minutes for each new set of tens of my weight.
Well...I am pleased to report that as of this morning, I will be doing twenty five minutes a day!!! That,s right -- 229.0, baby!!!!
I have never been more excited to have to exercise!!!!
