I walk in my immediate neighborhood, which is a subdivision. There are many short streets to walk, nice sidewalks, and streetlights. It's an exercise-friendly neighborhood. I am going to try and go farther, faster, to make it more effective.

Hello! I am also two days in. I love this myfitnesspal website, it is so easy to use! If you're 5'6", I personally think 130 is maybe too thin - but I assume you know you best - so go for it, but be careful. If you find weight loss comes easy to you, please don't go too far.

If I were the host and knew in advance…

A Wendy's asian chicken salad (they forgot the cashews, which I am actually grateful for) and green ice tea. I ate half the salad and will finish the rest this afternoon. Today is my first day of exercising and eating right. Well, Better.

One-A-Day has introduced a woman's multi-vitamin that is a half-dose. The pill is smaller and you take it twice a day or two at once. They are much easier to swallow. Those are the ones I use.
