  • Don't think of it as a one year journey. It may take longer :), but that's OK. I agree with others. Exercise is key here. Not just for its weight loss benefits, but as a true part of the journey to being a healthier person. I started with walking. I was able to add in running. I have a long history of arthritis, so I…

  • I'm late to the party, but wanted to give my W5D3 story. I usually run with a friend, but she was sick on that day.

Without her, I had…

  • I just began on Monday. I am aiming to lose 15 pounds as my first goal, then maybe another ten, but now I also have to lower cholesterol and get my blood sugar under control. Feel free to add me as a friend.
