So I met with the Dr. last week. He put me on a 1,000 calorie a day diet and I am exercising 6 days a week right now just working my way up to 30-45 minutes a day. I even roller skated last week and Madyson's birthday party - thought I might die afterwards - I am definately older than I used to be but it was such fun exercise, I think we should do that more often. I did cheat a little over the weekend but today - back to the grind. IT's still too early to see any results of course although I am feeling very motivated and also feeling like I am a little more energy from day to day.
Meeting with the Dr. really hurt my pride. My weight falls in the "morbidly obese" category - not ever something a person wants to hear. But, for me, it just motivated me to change. Thank you so much for all of the support and encouragement in this. Deana I would love to walk with you anytime! Until it gets hot that is - then - I am not doing the outside thing!!! I am a wus!

Your doing great!! 1000 calories a day??? Isn't that about what a bird eats?? :) Lots of veggies, right? Good job on the excersize! You can do anything, it just takes time to work up to it! Patience is key my friend!
Wow, Deb! This seems really drastic. 1000 calories? Make sure you're eating enough - especially if you're working out. The key is the right food! You can do it!
Good for you -- I am there with Nicole -- a birds kind of food?!:) -- Call me, and lets figure out sometime to walk -- it really is beautiful outside right now -- I am making my boys run around the block 'cuz it is so nice! :) We went for a walk at the Riparian Preserve, yesterday -- so beautiful!
You're on your way and I'm so proud of you! I for one, love to ice skate, though I'm wobbly at it! It is a fun way to exercise. Riding a bike is fun too. The more active you get, the more things you will find you enjoy and the healthier you'll be. I find walking with someone else helps the exercise to be more enjoyable too. Good luck with your new diet; I know you'll adjust to it and then viola! the magic will happen!
Then you can come to the gym with me!!:)
