You are probably right! I will increase my incline and see how that goes first. Thanks much! BTW....love your profile philosophy! Nothing but the truth!

Thanks everyone for your replies. I will definately keep my incline increased on the treadmill. I use a cardio setting so it adjusts according to my heart rate. My calorie intake is set at 1300 down from 1500. And I will try and lift heavier as well!

I am not a fan. But I do it. I need to do it. You don't need a gym. The hardest part of exercising is getting your foot out the door. Or getting up off the couch. Walking is amazing. You can listen to music or hear the sounds of the city or smell the countryside (err..maybe that wouldn't be so sweet!). Once you get up and…

Scotland is my DREAM trip. It was tough to get my husband to Ireland; so maybe next trip to Scotland!! We are golfers and would love to try out some of the courses there! I will take my walking shoes and be careful of the guiness! I like the meal in a glass comment!! Thanks for your input!!

Thank you so much for your response! I will definitely take my walking shoes!! And I will look for that vegetable soup in the pubs! (Do they serve beer with that?) LOL!

I WILL take my Heart Monitor! Great suggestion! I guess if I monitor my walking, I can have that pint!! Thanks for your suggestions!

Thank you so much for your response! I will definitely take into consideration your suggestions!

Your story is heart wrenching. We all go through tragedy in our lives. It is sad when it is one on top of the other. By your posts, I feel you are ready. Ready for your life change. As am I. I have yo-yo'd dieted all my life. I just have had enough. I am much older than you, and I have a healthy goal set for my 60th…

You Look AMAZING!!! Congratulations!! Your pre-diet weight is where I am at now. So if I end up looking as good as you, I will be very proud!!

Hi Sarah! I just joined and my goal is 10 lbs at a time! Easier to feel successful! Hope that helps!
