Phew full day and I am headed for bed after checking in here to be accountable.

Climbed my 330 stairs again today. I suppose someday I will need to add weights so the metabolism doesn't get in a rut and plateau.

Came home and did the Jillian SHRED DVD. Thighs were killing me ysterday but today they were better. But I don't think that DVD will EVER be easy!

Then I began a weight lifting regiment that seems too easy. I probably need to increase the weight size. Nothing to get excited about since I only used. 3 pd dumbbells.

How is everyone ?

WOW.

Don't understand how you are able to do it. My hat is off to you. We'll all come watch when you're in the Senior Olympics.

Thanks for being here.

Very impressive Rhonda! I have lost all of my weight by food alone. I really need to start excersizing to tone up.

Congrats KabbyDawn!!!

If only I could lose without the exercise! I am mid 50's and by your pic you look like you have a young metabolism. Please, please please get all the excess off when you are young because it only gets harder to do as you age! Spoken by experience, trust me I have dieted myself into this
predicament I am in and it takes an ACT OF GOD to lose weight now. Even with the wonderful RD! Congrats on finding it! Thanks for the cheer, I need all I can get!

KabbyDawn.

WOW. What an accomplishment. Very few of us are able to accomplish what you have. Over the last decade, I've only averaged about 8 lbs a year. Sometimes I dream of doing what you've done but so far have not been able to do it.

BTW, Rhonda is "right on" regarding metabolism. Had a basal metabolism test several years ago. Metabolism was so-o-o slow ... needed only about 25% the amount of calories others need to maintain weight. Physician was very negative about my future. Have to push every day or I can feel things shutting down.

As usual, Rhonda offers valuable words. Back to the exercise bike.

Thanks for being here.
