in Getting Started
All this is this first time I have been on a diet or should I say life style change, in I can't remember. I am stoked about it and I know it is only five days but that is big to me. I walked for an hour today. I know all you P90Xers and stuff are laughing at me, but this is big for this 56 year old man!!!

Er' body keep pushing keep moving. By the grace of God I will string 365 days of life style change together! Take care!

Bill

    It's great you are feeling so positive

    This is also the first time my body and mind has responded well to a healthier lifestyle. This is my 7th day and I am loving it!

    Keep up the good work!

    Not laughing at all -- cheering! What a great start! Congratulations and keep up the good work! And remember, even if you slip up one day, it doesn't ruin anything...just come right back to the path and try again. 2014 can be the year you truly transform your life!

    I'm right there with you Bill - 52 years old and have too many to count attempts under my belt to get into the 100s on the scale. This is day 12 for me, and it's been a couple of years since I've ventured past a week on the healthy living train. Here's to both of us finally caring enough about ourselves to keep this going for the rest of our lives.

    I'm not laughing at all. In fact I'm impressed. Walking an hour is nothing to laugh at. I've just started back to my "exercise routine" and am only walking 40 mins. Proud of you!

    Bill you can do this, take it one day at a time, one choice at a time, one pound at a time. Strive for consistency not perfection and you'll be celebrating 365 days and many victories a long the way!

    Congrats, the 1st week was the hardest for me. I was down with a broken ankle, unable to walk when I started. I lost 17 lbs. alone just by learning to eat more health selections and proportions. Just stick with it, it's worth the change!

    Don't compare yourself to others - just focus on YOUR goals and progress! An hour of walking is fantastic, and better than an hour sitting in front of the TV! Keep up that positive attitude. It will certainly serve you well

    Bill, you will do great! I'm almost 60 and I've lost all my weight by mostly walking and calorie deficit.
    I also like elliptical and lifting, but I love walking!

    Just keep on pushing and remember the key to weight loss is to not eat so much but not starve. Just check yourself before you do a fat thing, if you know its fat than don't do it, if you have to ask if what you are doing is a fat person thing than it probably is. Mindset is key you will get there. Keep it up!
