Hi everyone,

I usually post under another topic... but, I'm adding myself to this board because I'm about to start exercising and dieting again and need some support. I will exercise oneday and then not anymore for a month... My goal is 5 times a week of aerobic exercise. I am here for any advice anyone has for me. I really need the support. I want to lose 50 pounds to get back to a healthy weight for me.

I am sure you can do it.I myself have to lose 100 pounds. I was told recently that for someone who is not all that active on workouts should try the Walk Away the Pounds for Abs tapes. I will be picking mine up when I get my check. I heard it is really great.Once I get in decent shape I will throw in my cindy crawford ones which make you work really hard in a good way and my paula abdul dance workouts.
I also have started to read Bob Greene books. Oprahs trainer and he is really a great motivator and I also have started the slim fast meal option program.
Just take it slow and more importantly drink lots of water. 8 glasses a day minimum. Try it with a lemon in it to so you dont get tired of it.
Do not skip meals and do not lose more than 2lbs a week. Remeber your weight will flucuate so go more by measurements and how your clothes feel more than what the scale says. Since you can be gaining muscle.


People on this board are great and really supportive so keep writing and keeping us up to date on your progress,

In my opnion also the walk away the punds are real good tapes.. they start you off in just a way not to discourage you.. and if you stick to them you will see the results.. i know since the second week of january i ben usung the ones with the weights, and in may i found the ones for the abs.. in total i went from 220, down to 174.. i lost 45 pounds in 3and 1/2 months and wish i would have kept track of inches but i know nothing fits.. even when i sue to weigh 180 7 yrs ago, none of the stuff i kept fits now. it is to big.. You will notice with the walk away the pounds tapes how nicely you tone up your amrs and chest.. At work they were laughing at me becuase i was drinking close to 2 liters of water.. but than they were surprised at how things were starting to fall into place.. I work in a cafateria in a high school, so you know we are right there at the food until the end of the day.. they were amazed i just stopped eating just about everything excpet the salads and drinking water.. Most of the time at the end of the day when it is time to sweep and mop the place everyone is wore out.. once i started my working out i was going twice as fast doing twice as much.. but I just thought i would share a little maybe it will encourage someone... http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/smile.gif star

wow star great job! Now what is the difference between the weights one and the abs one.

I love water and when I drink even diet coke I start to feel a headache coming on. But I do drink a diet coke once in awhile when I go out to eat since I will not drink tap water but if they sell distilled bottle water I will buy it.

But great job it is nice to know that there are people in this world finally taking control of their lives
