Hello all - 70 lbs down, 6 to go

Hello,

I just celebrated a year since the beginning of my weight loss and road to a healthier me. I was at 209 lbs last January 5th, when I finally decided that it was time for me. I started slow, doing about 30 minutes on the stationary bike, every day, and limiting my calories to about 1500/day, I made sure I always had at least 8 glasses of water each day. I was able to increase my exercise time and by March I was doing 1 to 2 hours per day between the bike and a treadmill we purchased. Currently I exercise at least 5 times per week, usually about 90 minutes on the treadmill followed by some light weight training. I have a lot more energy and am happier all around. It seemed impossible last year, but I know that it can be done. If you are struggling know that you can do it, just take it one day at a time and try to be consistent with your eating and exercise - good luck to all!!!!
