Default Congratulations (Any Exercise Pointers)

Hello,


In my younger days I was 117-125, I'm now 208 so I know both sides of the fence and would like to go back to the other side. My goal is to get rid of 70 pounds. Over the last 2 months I lost 7.5 pounds. I love Aerobics and Pilates, however I see a lot of people have success walking. Can you share some of the exercises you did to achieve your goal, and approximately how many pounds you loss per month.

Thanks much and congratulations again.

Many, many thanks for all of your well wishes and congratulations notes; it means the world to me!

GiGi to answer your questions, as far as exercise. I would continue doing what you like to do and if aerobics and Pilates is what you love to do then continue. I was doing the C25K training on my home treadmill (couch to 5 kilometer) until I developed a severe case of plantar fasciitis and a prolapsed metatarsal. Since that injury almost three years ago, I have continued walking.

My two year weight loss journey has not always given me the losses that I thought I deserved. As I have mentioned before, I had two bouts of stalls that lasted 9 weeks each where I did not lose an ounce nor an inch. but like my Dear Glenda has said, our bodies are not controlled by our minds or our will!

Keep swimming!
