  • I'm so glad you started this topic-count me in. I love a glass or two of wine in the evening as well but I really think it doesn't help with the weight loss. What I have found that really helps with the stress is an additional walk or mowing the lawn-something that takes at least a half an hour. So far that's helping. My…
  • Hi Sheri-I'll have to check Jawbone out too-haven't heard of that one. I'm glad you've been having some major success. 22lbs down would be awesome to me :).

Wish I had all your gym toys-we have a treadmill but I…

  • Hi, I'm 50 and have at least 50 lbs to lose. Getting in shape to ride my new horse is my goal as well as losing the achey joints I've developed! Would love to add other horsey friends with similar goals but would really appreciate anyone! Just need to stay motivated and feel accountable :). Right now I'm using the Map my…
  • Yay, thanks Lori. I've wondered about the Fitbit- a lot of people seem to love it. I hope this Map My Walk app is fairly accurate-I like it because I walk on our farm and it maps exactly where I go. Not sure about the accuracy of the calories burned but at least I can make goals of miles per day for now.
