7 days straight of walking. Today I did 4 miles in 80min. I even did it during the peak hour of everyone else was out this morning. Most said good morning or a head nod. I feel better about this now. Thank you all for the encouragement and the kick in the butt that I needed. B)

I went walking again today. Totally didn't want to get up. But I thought about where I would if I didn't get up and if I did. I liked the outcome of getting up to walk, so I did. I don't regret it. I still get embarrassed but when I get that feeling I just changing my thoughts to what I want out of working out and turning…

I never thought of it like that...thank you! I will focus on that too

2nd walk completed and I'm sore but making a goal in the next month to extend my exercise time and intensity.

Aww thank you! I almost caved on eating out but stuck to my guns. I feel that my goal (even though it is fair away) is obtainable.

That's soo true!

I used to run quite a bit. I miss it. I will get there once I get my stamina back up some but I'm happy for just starting

Fortunately, no. Eventually I will but not yet. You almost have to run because the light changes so fast.

Today, I actually went walking...yes I'm sore, sweaty, and a wee bit tired....but I feel AMAZING! Of course where I walked was near one of the busiest intersections and I just stayed focusing on my goals. Thank you all so much for the encouragement. It gave me the kick in the but to go out and do this.

I need to lose that much. Even then that is still technically overweight but any less I would look sickly..but thank you for your concern as many people do have dysmorphic disorders.

THANK YOU!! I didn't even think about it like that. I feel better knowing that.

Thank you to you both. I will focus on those things.

Hi. Re-starting anything is always difficult. Start small and work your way up. :)

Would you mind if we became friends through this to keep each other accountable and motivated?
