Once you reach a few make them harder. I am trying to get back to running a mile again. It is made easier by this iste. So good luck and welcome! -------------- Those who lift understand it. Those who do not, think we are crazy!

Try them on in a month. Don't OVERLY concern yourself with the weight of your body (every body is different). Try the pants on in a month and you will probably have to go and get another pair of pants to put on the dresser! That way you don't get discouraged when you step on the scale and see you gain a pound...then go on a feedeing frenzy. This way you go on fit and finish. Good Luck! -------------- Trackerchik wishes you the best in your fitness endeavors!

When I started I was really out of shape. I coudn't walk more than 5 minutes at 3.5 mph on the treadmill. Now I'm doing a 6 minute mile! Good luck and welcome to FT.

She's always had a hard time keeping the weight off. Attitude, motivation, and one's overall desire to be healthy make workout programs successful. Good luck applepiemommy. You can do it! (voice of cajun in the movie "waterboy") hehe DP
