Go Pam, Go!
It helps me to remember I just have to keep my waist somewhere under 34″ to reduce all those icky risk factors. Goal: to feel great.
You are a beautiful woman.

Go you! You really are gorgeous, you know. And brave. Thank you.

I’ve been thinking about posting my weight loss goals on the blog for a long time but I’ve been too chicken to do it. I measured my waist at the thickest point yesterday and it’s almost the same as my hips… not healthy. (Heart disease, anyone?) Not to mention unattractive… I’m kind of square below the bust! Rather shocking (and dismaying) to realize it’s 10 inches over what it was 20 years ago. Mind you I don’t think it’s realistic to want my 18-year-old body back, but I’d be happy at some midpoint between there and here! I think you’ve inspired to put it out there for the world to see! Like betzig said, we can have a FAL!

P.S. Have you considered installing a TV & DVD player in front of the treadmill for days when you just want to get some movement in without necessarily killing yourself in pain with that workout? If you don’t have a workout partner, getting to watch a favourite series (or procuring a suspenseful new one where you can’t wait to find out what happens next) only if you’re exercising can be a powerful motivator. Just sayin’.

Welcome to the weight-loss club. Cristi inspired me to start my journey. Just be miindful of your body and know that no matter what size, you are beautiful.

Maybe I’ll do the workout with you when I’m in town. Just because I’m running doesn’t mean the rest of me couldn’t use some tough love. You are definitely a braver woman than I am to post your stats–you could start a FAL (fitness-a-long) and you know we would all join you.

Yeah for BSJ–I’m not up to the increases yet but I’ve decided I can only handle one section of directions at a time so I’ll worry about those later.

YOU GO GIRL!!! I admire the courage you’ve summoned to take on this new regime and to blog it too. We’re all behind you!

Be sure to have something to eat before you work out! I forgot a couple of times and felt incredibly sick pretty early in. A piece of fruit is usually good – doesn’t weigh you down, but increases your blood sugar enough to get through at least an hour. And hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Good luck!

What did you really think of Jillian? I see quite a few ads touting her stuff and my first instinct is that I don’t really like her. Completely gut reaction since I’ve never seen her presentation, never heard her speak, etc. Of course, it could well be that I hate her because of her freakin’ enviable cut-em-dead abs but I could never be that shallow could I? (Hmph)

Petty stuff aside, GO YOU!!

Go you!!! I need to get that DVD! Luckily my daughter has been bugging me to work out (her tiny flabby belly heh!). Thanks for posting that picture of the BSJ, gives me a better idea of how it is knit seeing it all flat like that!

You are very very brave and a better woman than me to post your numbers. Oh and for what Bezzie posted,, one of my knitting pals has a recumbant bike that she uses,, and knits as she does!

Hubby has been talking about getting one for me,,knit and exercise? It might work, lol.
