Hi all

I had surgery July 10 and I have a lot of weight to loss. I am coming from a completely sedentary lifestyle and find change daunting. I am mostly alone in this journey as my family try to be supportive, but usually end up sabatoging me. What I am hoping is that some other people might like a thread where we can be accountable and support each other in our fitness challenges/ workouts.

I need to start moving. I don't even know where to begin, except to say that walking is my best option. I would prefer to do more pool workouts but I live in the country and am caring for 2 terminally parents, so that just isn't going to be possible right now.

That said, how much, how long, how far do I push myself with this new endeavour given the radical surgery and food change I just experienced.

I am open to feedback.

Please feel free to share about your workouts or the challenges in even getting yourself to change the old patterns.

I look forward to hearing from you all!

Best wishes on your weight loss journey

Michelle

Ok, I have not been keeping up with the walking. Lots of excuses, which I seem to be good at, but I will keep posting here in an effort to remind and motivate myself to get at it.

Don't beat yourself up, restart today, and WALK EVERY DAY like I told you a page or so back!

Getting going is the hardest part! The days I dont want to ealk are the days I walk the hardest and the longest. You'll get there.

Ok so i have graduated to biking. I rode bike with my son and had to ride really fast to keep up with him. 20 min later and i am Worn out. Whew, what a work out. We are going to go again in about an hour or so.

No pain no gain. ????????????
