what a difference 30 minutes make

Hi gang,

Since Aug 18th I have been walking around my company parking lot for 30 minutes during my lunch every day. On the morning of aug 18 my home scale read 197. Today my home scale read 189.8!!!!!!   Now this is not an official weigh in because I only use my monthly weigh in at Doc Roes as official and I dont see him until 9/16 BUT if you have ever read any of my posts you should know that seeing that 8 after the 1 was a total miracle     

I have intentionally not changed anything else in my life except for adding this 30 minute walk and for right now it appears to be the best decision I ever made !!!!

Just had to share my news..

CONGRATULATIONS Diana!

I am encouraged to see that even as far out as you are, you can make a positive difference!

Keep it up!

Diana, That change was just the ticket you needed. I bet you will reach 180 before you know it.

Congratulations and keep on walking,

Sher

Congratulations!  I have been walking also, hopefully it will work for me like it has worked for you.  God bless, Penni

Good for you, Diana, I know you've been longing to see the 180's!!! Thanks for posting, it gives me the incentive to get out there and walk, I've been stuck for months now with the same 5-10 pound range, up and down, was getting discouraged. Maybe 1/2 hour a day will jumpstart more loss for me as well?!

WooHoo! Diana, I am SO excited for you!!!!!!!!! I know how seeing that 8 must have made you so happy you could cry!!!!! Congratulations to you!!! How are things going now since the ps?? Are you feeling good these days??

Sorry its taken so long to reply....work is crazy    I am still trying to understand why on the morning of my lipo I was 193 then he removed atleast 10 pounds and I am struggling to get under 190. just dont make no sense :-)    I am walking everyday  and trying to focus on just that...I dont do well when I dont reach my goals so I am trying to make smaller ones.  

Thanks so much to you & everyone for their kudos

Diana
