Wow, that was weird. I think I typed within purple's quote. Sorry about that.

My shower made me so out of breath this morning that I had to nap before going to the gym. I stayed on my food program today-big victory! I will weigh in tomorrow and see how I've done. Good luck and good work, everybody! I'm really proud of everyone's committment to getting healthier! (Weight really is only a part of it!) |

Someone told me that exercise before breakfast actually burns more calories. Is that true, or just another myth about losing weight? |
To be honest, I'm not sure! I don't eat until after Ol' Leslie and I have been around the block a couple of times and then I shower.
There are those that say you should have a bite or two of something to get your metabolism geared up first...and then breakfast after. I think it's more important to be and stay hydrated... |
I am starting..I got leslies walking dvd from walmarts the other day.
Weighing in at 208,and am 5'7". size 20/22. would love to get down to 170.size 14. which is the weight i want to be..not the 145 that all the websites say i should be. i am having trouble eating the 3 meals a day, at least 3 is what they say. i am on board! |
Welcome Aboard!
I weighed in today at 284. My blood sugar was 145 (down from 360) and my blood pressure was 136/70 (down from 160/95). I'm in the middle of prescription changes so I have to check these often. I'm on the way to the hospital now for chest x-ray (to check on my lungs). These are excellent improvements! |
Congrats Purplemem!

Way to go everyone....I am thinking I really need to join this band wagon. Support helps immensely!

I'm not one who needs to loose weight, just wants to loose a few pounds. I've lost 8 pounds since Thanksgiving. I want to loose 6 more. I would like to become stronger and to get rid of the cellulose on my legs. Need to do work outs, but not there yet. Also waiting for spring to get out and walk more again.
My husband though has lost 17 pounds since Jan 1st ish. He wants to loose 60 lbs by July. He is on a modified Adkins diet and tries to be more active by walking (shopping) and less time just being a couch potato. I'm proud of him. And proud of all you who are loosing weight and becoming healthier. |
Congratulations, Purplemem! I know what it is to watch those numbers. You are doing great!
