Baby weight
I just wanted to say I have faithfully used my pedometer since April of this year. I had my fifth baby in Nov of last year and got up to 197lbs, since then I've lost 47lbs walking. This site told me how many steps a day I needed to walk and I did the 10,000 steps a day. I was sore in the beginning, but now I can't imagine not getting my walk on. I'm still working towards the last part of my goal, but I'm confident that I can do it and anyone else can too!

Walk The Walk...One Step At A Time
Wow! Talk about truth telling time. I went to the doctor on Wednesday, July 14, 2010 and had a good cry with my doctor because I was ashamed of the numbers on the scale. That huge number spoke of how I had allowed myself to be taken over by food...again. I joined Weight Watchers in 2008 and lost almost 70 pounds, but 18 of those pounds have made a reappearance. I guess I've treated my fat so well over the years, that it doesn't know how to let go! My 4-5 mile walks a day dwindled to a walk here and there, and it wasn't until recently that I started picking up the pace again. Fortunately, the healthy person inside of me, screaming to be let out, is a fighter who will not quit.
Thursday, July 15, I woke up and told myself I would walk 10,000 steps come hell or high water. No excuses. I use public transportation and I walk a lot, but somehow I only used my pedometer at specific times during the day. Now, I will keep it on me at all times. I have calculated more walking in the past two days, as I told my team cheerleader I would step it into high gear, if for nothing more than my health. What do I have to lose but a few pounds anyway? I want the next tears I cry at the doctor's office to be ones of joy.
I slept like a baby on Thursday, so walking so much has its perks. When I got home today, I changed clothes and started out to finish my walking for the day. The past two days, I have surpassed my intended goal and feel proud of my self. Let's just hope I can keep it up this time. Here's to another good night's sleep! :)

Keep Moving Forward
Today I looked in the mirror and I did not like what I saw. I have been battling my wieght for the past 8 years. I went from 235 lbs to 200 lbs and then when I got pregnant with my son and I went up to 235 and my weight has been climbing steady. I am now 291lbs and I am 28 years old. I have tried to get started and I lost weight and went to 271lbs. I felt great but a lot of obstacles got in my way. I am now back at the 291lbs weight and I was about to give up when I looked in the mirror and realized that I wanted to lose weight and keep it off.
Today is day 1 and I have brought my lunch and had breakfast at home instead of eating fast food. I am ready for the challenge and I am now with the motto of it does not matter my weight downfalls in the past I am now going to keep moving forward and look to the future of Keep Moving Forward to attain my goal of 190 lbs one day at a time.
Wish me luck, and I wish you all a good journey as well:) Keep moving forward
