I guess a big difference is that I dont take steroids or arthritis meds anymore or muscle relaxers ,I also walk 3 miles 4-6 times a week,maybe more some weeks.I would like to be able to do crunches and work on a flat tummy but it still sore for that after three months!I eat seafood,soup,cheese,salad,skim milk,eggs,lean cuisuine,lean pockets,ff popcorn,and do not eat white bread,pasta,regular chips,soda,cakes,cookies,ice cream etc.I take 2 iron pills a day,1 b12,ulcer meds,2 vitamins.I also drink alot of low carb apple juice and diet soda.I can barely tolerate plain water or propel,but do like some of the flavored waters.I walk every morning when I take son to school,I walk in afternoons sometimes,I try and park far away in parking lots so I can walk,go to flea markets and walk,I try to walk much as possible.I really dont do well with traditional workouts I am uncoordinated but walking works for me,helps me focus,clear my mind,steers away from depression and I listen to headphones helps me keep track, my cd is one hour,I also use pedometer for distance.I think about joining a gym,but realize that I am getting enough exercise in and I live on a duckpond with a walk path so I have it made,with no excuses!I think I eat about 700-800 calories a day.My thing I am upset about is I dont look more petite I FEEL LIKE THE HULK.Just like to be thin and about a size 7/8,but I am starting to look bulky already!Like come on I dont eat much anymore I work so hard why cant I just be thin?And if I see another tiny little woman pigging out I am going to scream its not fair!lol!
