edited September 2024 in Introduce Yourself
Just wanted to introduce myself. I have been on this sight since Nov 9, 2008. I haven't posted as I am a little shy. My friend kept telling me to let you know how I am doing. I have lost 14 lbs so far. We walk 4.2 miles a day. As we can that is. Most of the time yes. We enjoy walking together. It is so easy when you have a friend to walk with. I have been over weight most of my life after babies that is. I have struggled but now I have found something that really works for me. Eating right and walking sure have helped. I am shooting for under 200 lbs before the Christmas holiday. When we started we wasn't eating the calories we burned off. We thought that would be a no no. But guess what now we are eating them and looseing weight. That has been a real thrill. I just hope my little story can give someone encouragement.

    Congratulations on your success so far. I've been here a couple months and am happy with my 5 lb. loss so far. I really don't exercise but I had hoped to walk more. So far, not so much. I can't stand the cold and don't get out during the week because of my 12 hour work days. I love the information and encouragement we get here. Good luck.
