Lost 10 lbs. in 7 days!

Wow.. I just came from the gym where I spent 20 minutes on the treadmill. Ok not much, but I walked .70 mile and burned 54 calories and actually broke a good sweat! They have a lot of great fitness equipment! It felt good to be up on the treadmill again! I felt so differently than before. I realized that I am no longer fighting obesity... I am walking towards fitness! I'm running the 2008 Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C. It's a flat coarse and I will be in the over 55 group! So it starts today and everyday I will go further! Can't wait to start running again. Almost left without weighing myself. I'm down 10 lbs. Got off the scale, Zeroed it. Got back on, weighed the same. Got off the scale, checked to see if the slider was in the slot...it was. Got on.. still the same. got off... zeroed it... asked the instructor passing by.. Is this scale accurate? Could it be????

AWESOME! You so Rock! I am so happy for you. And what a great goal for the marathon! Keep us posted.

thx Robin, You are such an inspiration to me! God Bless you! Makes me want to run another mile! Blessings, Diane

You go girl! 10 lbs in 7 days and up on that treadmill so soon after surgery! THAT IS JUST AWESOME! You save me some room on that losers' bench! E

Thanks Ethel! I am so thankful for the resources I have to lose weight. There is plenty of room on this bench and there's more everyday! Keep well!

YAY!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you. Keep it up. That tread mill is killer. I have to really make myself get on it. I honestly thought it would be easier or more desireable than walking outside, but it is not. I find myself watching the counter and it makes it seem like time is going by sooooooooooooooo slow. When you are sweating it out, just think there are others that you are inspiring!!!!!!! We are sweating it out too and looking to as a role model. That is what we are here for. Support and be role models. 10 lbs in 7 days wow! Please keep us posted.

Thanks Stacy! I'm headed back on that treadmill later this morning. My gym has lots of tv's and a place for a book... like I could read on the treadmill! Hah! Thank you for being so very encouraging to me. I appreciate you so much. Please keep us updated on how you are. Blessings, Diane

Way to go Diane! 10 pounds in 7 days is fantastic. Keep up the good work! I can't wait to be cleared to go back to the gym. I'm dying to start lifting weights again. Take care. Ellen

I know how you feel! For the first time in a long time I feel like I belong in the gym! Keep that positive attitude. I have plenty of free passes you can visit my gym anytime! Blessings, Diane
