Scott in Florida - 5 weeks

[scottinflorida]

This past week I destroyed another 2.8 pounds in the ongoing battle.  Sure doesn't feel like a battle though! 

So it's 5 weeks in, and a total of 18.4 pounds gone.  From the start I have planned on starting to exercise when I hit the 20 pound mark - looks like that might be next week!  It will be interesting to see how that affects the weight loss.  In any event, the weather is starting to get cooler so walking will be pleasant.

Keep up the great work everyone!

Congratulations Scott!!! 

Keep up the good work!
But unlike "dieting", this program sure doesn't feel like work, does it?
And that's fantastic since a new lifestyle must be pleasant to be successful.

Walking at a moderate pace (about 3 mph) at least 30 minutes per walk will do wonders to keep your metabolism perking.
My wife and I take 3 mile (1 hour) walks 3-5 times per week.
I've found I sleep better and generally feel much better than before.

Looking forward to hear about your continued success!!!

Thanks Umpa!

My weight is coming off slow but sure.

But my doc said slow weight loss is healthier for me and will make weight maintenance (when I get there) much easier as well. Besides, I really like how much better (and more satisfying) I'm eating than before and how much better I feel too!

So I stay uber-encouraged!!!
This is a lifestyle I can enjoy living the rest of my life!
 

My wife and I do enjoy our walks.
Fortunately, we live in a beautiful area about 2 blocks away from a forest.
We use a forest access road for walking.
