I figure if I can get off 10 pounds a Month I should be lookin DAMN fine come spring and sunshine!!
I am down to 158 from 171...I am 5'3"...small frame...my max weight should be around 115...
I plan to start eating the way I should and not always the way I want to...with the occaisional treat....do my stretches and dance everyday..
give up {once again} my PEPSI...I love lemon water...but get to lazy to sqeeze the lemons...lol...I will walk 1 mile minumum everyday...stick to my PT...I will NO longer stress myself out about Quitting Smokeing....that only makes me smoke more...when I am ready my brain will let me know.

Just reading your list exhausted me~~~~~~~~~~I would love to hybernate and wake up in the Spring, but since that's not going to happen, my goal is to survive the winter, without losing ground. If I can make it with as little pain and discomfort as possible, that will be ok with me. Maybe when Spring comes, I can do more. But for me, winter means survival mode!

Boni, I am 5'4" and I weigh close to 195 lbs. I am also trying to lose some weight this coming winter season. I will not eat anything like: licorice, potato chips, fried cracklins, only the healthy things like: eating my fruits, vegetables. Also when the weather is nice, I plan to walk around my block two times and when it is raining outside, I plan to walk from one room of my house into the other one, and walking to my local farmer's market and back home. Also, when I was having P.T. on my right knee, I was riding a bike for 15 mins.

I am going to try I have started the 6 week body makeover so we will see but on tuesday they are doing an MRI to see if I have MS and on thursday I see a sleep diagnostician and On December 5th I have a sleep study so my health may limit me some obviously as it does with most of us. But I will try and be there with you. Good Luck.

Funny, I'm thinking along the same lines....I want to walk (with my friend the cane of course!) but I can usually work up to a mile. Then I also want to make my yoga a daily thing. The eating I HAVE to control too. So I'm in and I can't complain that I'm too old...only a year older than you Boni, so consider me in.

I am 5'6" and 150. But for me, I am very small framed that is too much for my knees, etc. to bear, so I need to lose ten or so. The doctor says I have too much weight for my joints, etc.

Anyway, I don't FEEL healthy at all right now. Not that expect to get "healthy" per se, but just to "FEEL" better about myself...like you said!

Thanks for the inspiration. I think we should report to each other on our progress (AND setbacks) every day!!!

Talk to you soon!
We'll start....MONDAY!?!?!?

lol

Lot of love and hugs,

Morus

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
