this time I am focusing on gettin to two miles in 20 minutes seems impossible right now.. and low calaries.. and so many pounds to get there..... I have worked out four times since monday .... I want to see instant results.. I am hoping for two pounds a week -- it is not happening ... 50 pounds by August sounds so impossibly possible..

Hi Jan
You are really trying!!!Keep up! I'm sure you'll make it!
We weigh about the same right now but you exercise a lot more!!!
I try to walk just 1 km every day....I'm not much of exercising type....

Two pounds a week is very good goal..Hope you'll get it..
When is your weigh - in day?

i am weighing in every day.. keeps me frustrated.. but the plan is to only count Mondays.. so far a lot of work and not enough loss. I have been doing the treadmill again for just a couple of weeks. I am going to try to count the calories better. It sounds so uphill and like so much work. But I guess it is that metabolism thing. I had a baby and a lot of stress within the last three years..at the age of forty. the weight just doesn't want to get off as much as I want it off. I have come to the conclusion instead of wanting I have to work it off(My new career ha ha) I just hope it works - it is so frustrating for me.

Hi January

Im not sure if thats your real name but I like it.....Its sweet plus its my birthday month,...boring old capricorn... Anyway enough of that,

Im on in and around the same as yourself...Im aiming for 132 but I don't know whether I will make another goal after that..... Im 5'4' so Im thinking that 32 might be quite a good weight for me......??? not really sure

Right now Im really barrelling into the excercize because I don't feel I have it in me to concentrate on my diet at the moment

I really think daily weights are a bad idea though,....they just cause frustration.....and they can make or break your day.........your so much better to pick a day and weigh in on that day every week....just me though


Anway, I hope your keeping up the work,...just don't burn yourself out pet....it can happen very easily,...take your time its worth it in the long run

Lots of love
