Getting Started and Keeping Up

E.Waterman Posts: 1 Joined: 2009/08/07	2009/08/07, 06:01 PM I always find myself starting myself on some diet or exercise program and at first it's great and I can't wait to start shedding some lbs. It's the keeping up with the program that's the hardest. Any motivational suggestions? -------------- \\"Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time.\\" -Mark Twain
