Thanks for the info

Thanks for the information and links that you provided. I bookmarked them
for easy reference. I'm currently 5'4 and 215 lbs. I don't really exercise
but I fully intend to change that. My goal is to walk to my sons jr. high
which is only 2 miles and then back for a total of 4 miles a day. I figure
if the kids in our neighborhood can walk there, I should be able to,
hopefully. I'm sure it will take me a few weeks to get that far but I am
fully determined to do it. We just moved to Northern California from the
midwest and I really want to be able to look and feel better by next summer
so that I can keep up with my kids better. I know I can do this.

Excellent attitude, Melissa. You're being very positive about this, and I
know you can do it too. What diet plan do you have in mind?

You will be really surprised at yourself when you actually DO get out
there and start walking. When i began I had no idea that I would ever be
walking 5-6 miles each afternoon. I was pretty sure I would keel over
and die for lack of air - but..amazingly I didn't
The first night I did just a mile, then stayed with that all week, then
I think somewhere in the next 2 weeks I pushed it up a half mile more at
a time, till now I'm VERY comfortable with 5-6 miles. I may keep pushing
it up more as I lose more.

Hi Melissa,

Walking WORKS! Do it every day and you will love what happens. I never
exercised before I started walking. I cut my calories and started eating
healthier food and lost weight. You can too! Do it - you'll never be
sorry.

Keep posting and it'll keep you focused. Everyone here is on some point of
the same journey.
