Sparkle, I am so sorry to hear about your fall. I have fallen a few times walking and have found it a challenge to keep going but it's worth it.
I live in NW Washington where it is wet often and snows occasionally in the winter. So far this winter our lowest pre dawn temperature has been 24 degrees F. I made a commitment three years ago to walk every day no matter what the weather and have done that even right after the bad fall I had a little over a year ago when my walks were about 15 minutes long instead of two hours. I have lots of outerwear that I can layer to meet our temperatures......I might have a different story in northern Canada, but for here, I'm doing great. I've just finished breakfast and will take the dogs out for their long walk one at a time now (about 2 hours total), then shower and dress and go teach my beginner line dance class.
have a great day

Great group. I am trying to change my lifestyle and after a solid week of workouts and eating a balanced lower calorie diet the scale has finally decided to move. I must admit it was hard seeing it go up or stay he same all week, but I was looking more tight and feeling a ton better so I stuck with it. I started at 201 and now 198, aiming for 180 by Easter and a final goal of 140 ish by 20160

Happy Friday folks! I hope the Easter Challenge is off to a good start. I have been doing pretty good so far... My eating has been on track and I have not been emotional eating! yay!!

Sparkle - Sorry to hear about your face plant. I hope your lip gets better soon and you can get out there and have a fun run. May you heal fast.
We are now just digging out from the storm last night. Not sure how many inches or feet we got but our neighbors across the border got between 7 to 9 inches. DH is going out now to snow blow.
On a good note, I have lost 3.2 pounds this week on South Beach Phase 1. I did change my ticker this year and starting from there. Last summer I was my lowest at 168, now starting again.

I'm late to the party, but I'd love to join. I've been a member here for a few years and have lost and gained a few times over. This year I turn 30 and would love to start out my 30's with my weight in check. 20 lbs by Easter is a very realistic and achievable goal, thanks for starting the group!0

Also for the location thing I am in new brunswich Canada. We just had a week of - 30 Celsius and below so I have been using the gym daily but yesterday it went up to a balmy negative 8 Celsius so I did an hour of snowshoeing to celebrate the "warm" weather. It's hard to do outside activities because I am so far north the sun rises after I get to work and is done setting 15 minutes after my work ends so by the time I pack up and get the car cleared off its pretty much nighttime. Ah the joys of northern living

I am not so far north but the sun rises at 8 and if I want to walk my dogs for 2 hours or more and still be to a class at 9 AM I do a lot of walking in the dark. I live in a perfect neighborhood with private well paved roads and a light in everyone's front yard so I can safely walk with a dog on a leash and a flashlight. This morning I have a 7 AM meeting so I am walking even earlier. Barbie 0

Barbie very well said. Its been 2 weeks since I have had a weight lost but I have not had a gain either So that is good too I am a very hard loser Will continue on my eating plan. Usally about this time of the game I am ready to throw in the towel But not this time. I will keep at it till the weight .start moving again. I can't blame it on water weight for I can see my vines in my foot.I am keeping my calories down
Any body else has this problem.

One of the best ways to reach a weight loss goal is to have friends to support and encourage you....this is a great thread for that. Come back every day and find out how others are doing and get some new ideas for healthy eating and exercise. Share what works for you. Cheer for everyone who's losing and encourage those who are struggling.Categories
