If you try English and learn how to post the trot, you will awaken muscles that I swear God ONLY put there for riding horses!!!<BR/><BR/>Congrats on the loss.

I weighed ...What a good, motivational post Joanne! I weighed in yesterday at Weight Watchers and am down 4.6 lbs. I am psyched!! I have been going for long, brisk walks with my sister and enjoying it. Tonight I am going with her to the gym she belongs to because they have a 90-day challenge at a very reasonable price. She's been going for about 6 months now, but is tired of doing it alone, so now I will at least do this 90-day challenge with her. I really feel the first couple of days are the hardest. I already feel different - better and I want to see more results. I like the idea of measuring yourself and taking pictures monthly. Good tips and thanks so much for sharing!! <BR/><BR/>You also did great! We gained it slowly so we must lose it slowly, and 4 lbs is a great start!! Keep up the good work and thanks so much for your encouragement!!Joyce's Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378556718751144447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472506510228723807.post-48642179372753552212009-01-08T05:15:00.000-08:002009-01-08T05:15:00.000-08:00Congratulations on losing 4lbs.Congratulations on losing 4lbs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569720420483740487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472506510228723807.post-50418281597689364792009-01-08T04:27:00.000-08:002009-01-08T04:27:00.000-08:00Well, I'm thinking that I need to really not make ...Well, I'm thinking that I need to really not make any excuses any more. It's very easy to do. I've decided to pick the DVD of exercise that I want to do before I go to work and leave it on my nightstand so it's the first thing I wake to in the morning.<BR/>My eating is better..not great but I have been trying to make better choices and staying away from chocolate. So I'll see how this goes and let you know if it works.Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652264313431556715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472506510228723807.post-42931974239165286022009-01-07T23:16:00.000-08:002009-01-07T23:16:00.000-08:00I'm not going to weigh myself until Saturday when ...I'm not going to weigh myself until Saturday when I go to my WW meeting. Exercise is the hard part. I went to Victoria Gardens Mall and walked around for an hour. Every little bit counts!

I ahve doubled up on veggies and drink more water. The weather has been miserable so I went to the gym instead of walking, but I like walking better.

I wasn't motivated until I found your post, and began this Tuesday. I will report in next Tues., with a loss, I pray!<BR/>It never occured to me to measure myself! I went to 3fatchicks.com and printed out a weight loss progress chart. It's a good site. Also made up a weight loss ticker and put it on my blog's sidebar. Will measure tonight. Exercise is my hardest thing to accomplish as I'm very arthritic. Have to do it, I know. Will blow the dust off an old Richard Simmons tape and dance with our corgis! Have a good week. We dug out our WW books, and are following, somewhat, the point system. Will give it another whirl!^..^Corgidogmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06087352436997512186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472506510228723807.post-5233109684224337602009-01-07T15:36:00.000-08:002009-01-07T15:36:00.000-08:00WOW 4 lbs!!

This is going to be so much fun doing it together. <BR/>Thank you again! <BR/>I'm going to start with a 9 day Michael Thurmond diet (he's from Extreme Makeover) I've done his diet before and it's a great send off. Then I'm going to do Weight Watchers. I'll do a post when I'm back. <BR/>Big hugs, SherryEdie Marie's Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16497518764917499463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472506510228723807.post-84733281915871218682009-01-07T14:54:00.000-08:002009-01-07T14:54:00.000-08:00Now my eating is better.

Make my portions smaller.<BR/><BR/>I diffently need to add fruits and vegetables.<BR/><BR/>I am going to try and get up early in the morning and walk fast on the treadmill for about 30 minutes everyday. After a few weeks, I am going to try and fit in 15 minutes here and there on my stepper along with the 30 minutes on the treadmill. Then eventually, I want to fit in strength training.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096758413292331253noreply@blogger.com
