my friend edie, nwfamilygal

I wanted to put a note here from edie:) She is off and running with her husband and hasn't been able to really get involved in the forum. I wanted to share her success with you gals though because she has benefited so much from this site. She uses the charts and she walks with me(or I walk with her):laugh: :bigsmile: almost every day of the week!!! She started eating her exercise calories the same time I did(November 9). She is 5'5" and "was" 220. She is now down 12 lbs!!!!!!!!!!! She is getting into smaller jeans and tee's:) I know she would want to thank you all for sharing your experience and wisdom here on this forum. If it weren't for that, her and I would still be walking, but not eating enough and therefor, defeating ourselves. God bless all of you!!!!!!! denise in Sams Valley OR

PS I know sometimes we just can't have someone to work out with but if it's possible, I have found that edie and I push eachother, without really realizing it. If you have the right partner, it works that way. I'll say "Im trying to keep up with you today" and she'll say "I was trying to keep up with you":laugh: If one of us is sluggish or low energy(which rarely happens since we started eating right)the other encourages us, or, we get left behind!!!!!!!!!:bigsmile: :laugh: :happy: Like I said though, she is gone for a few days now and I walked alone yesterday. It poured rain on me for the first time since I've been walking, LOL!! And hey, I survived and feel great!! The rain jacket came in real handy;)
