 I have started my exercise program and I’m walking a little further to catch the bus for work now which is about a 15 min walk. i also do the walk away the pounds tapes I am up to a mile and a half and starting sunday will go and use the gym in my apartment building and use the treadmill on my days off.   Did pretty good with my eating today. And will do even better tomorrow. Instead of eating something at work like I normally do I brought my own dinner. So things are going good so far. Angie

Little changes can go a long way to have large affects.  You sound like you are on a good path for yourself now.  Keep it up. — JJ.

thanks I plan on it. I want to be back at 125lbs by my birthday. which is August 29 , that is my original weight before I gained at christmas. I figure I have about 33lbs to go before I get to my over all goal. That is if I don’t gain anymore Angie – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I have started my exercise program and I’m walking a little further to catch the bus for work now which is about a 15 min walk. i also do the walk away the pounds tapes I am up to a mile and a half and starting sunday will go and use the gym in my apartment building and use the treadmill on my days off.  Did pretty good with my eating today.

That’s great, Angie.  One thing I’ve discovered is that as my thighs have become thinner, my gait has changed.  It’s now easier to walk long distances, and I can take longer strides.  You’ll probably experience something like that as you go along.  Working your leg muscles with long walks will help with that. will work out at the gym tomorrow

As corny as this sounds, if you walk around a running track, it will help you gauge your progress. Maybe you have a junior high or high school somewhere nearby and you could walk there?  Also, when walking for fitness, be sure that you are using your thigh and butt muscles. Too many people just try walking with their calf muscles. Your  1 1/2 mile walk is 6 laps around a track. You could time yourself and see how you are progressing. Pat in TX

I have walking tapes that I use I do my walking indoors and as well as n a treadmill. the outdoor walking that I do is between busses. I don’t have time to actually go out for a walk most days. I am getting up early as it is just so that I can do my exercises. I work the 3 -11 shift in the evenings and some over night shifts as well. But I am doing it. I have to work now tomorrow morning but I will go to the gym when I get home. And then I will sleep.
