:smile: This lookes like a very friendly and helpfull site, I looked for a calorie couner and found it. The doctor told me that unless I loose weight I wil have to take meds for high blood preasure, and at 44 I am not doing that. BIG PROBLEM: 1- no will power and 2- eating when not hungry, just to have something in my mouth. I hope to find help and support here. Exercise? I never did any, I am starting to walk up and down the steps in the house a little faster. (I cleaned the freezer today, does that count ?)

    Hey your right about 1 thing.. this is an excellent group!
    You will defiantly get motivated and feel great with these ppl. Welcome and have fun too!
    :flowerforyou:
  • If you do it consistantly for at least 20 min (no breaks, or long pauses), it counts.

    If you really need somewhere to start, you could start here:

    I dare you to speed walk for 25 minutes tomorrow. Then increase that time by two minutes evey day for the next 15 days. On day 16 try jogging.

    Good luck
