OK first of all don't beat your self up... you have just begun this journey! Some days just the water weight sticks. You should be giving yourself a HUGE PAT ON THE BACK FOR WALKING @ THE MALL!! That is a huge step in the right direction! Just remember how good you felt afterwards next time you are thinking about avoiding walking.. wow great advice... should practice what I preach!! ~ Good Luck!! You Can DO IT!! ~ Kristi
