A couple of months ago, I was so excited when I lost 40 pounds that I posted it here. And promised I would tell people when I hit a 50 pound lost. Well today I went over the 50 pound lost mark to 52 pounds. What a feeling, I can feel myself getting healthier. I was stuck for a while with very small losses, my pedometer had broke. I ordered a new one 10 days ago...and lost 3.2 pounds this...

Thanks, but I just try walking around when I would normally be standing waiting. Or I walk a few laps around my van before I get in and of course park a bit father away from my destination. I am lucky, a rail trail just opened by us this past summer, it is wonderful. Nice, clean, level, friendly, pretty and free.

I am shooting for 30 more pounds and plan on being down to smaller jeans by valentines day. I started at a 16 this year and have comfortably loose 10's now. Trust me, you can do it. I am doing Weight watchers and eat plenty. I think it amazes people how much I eat and am losing. Someone actually checked out my lunch today.

Oh, I have not been that disciplined. I eat ice cream on a regular basis and chocolate too. Walking is the big difference.

We plan on it, we both are getting close enough that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I was told by someone I work with not to lose too much more..but I still have that muffin top. I want to get down to a BMI in the low 20's..I would be thrilled with a 23. But that will take time and another pair of walking shoes or 2. Thanks

If I can help you, I feel good. My main activity has been walking. I walk the dogs and I walk as much as I can at work. Get a pedometer and challenge yourself. The first few weeks I was barely doing 4000 steps. Every week I wanted to average a bit more than the last week. It is a game that pays off on the scale.

Yes, about 30 more pounds. Today I was told not to lose too much more weight..but I would like to see a BMI in the low 20's. I find that the walking helps me when I am down. If you keep moving, you feel better. Of course taking the ipod and listening to some good music is a big help. hanks

I have been doing weight watchers and walking. It is simple and actually relatively painless. I have changed my eating but still get to munch on 'junk' every so often. I don't feel deprived at all.

Yup, I am doing weight watchers too. This new program is great. I can't wait to see what they come up with in 2010. How much have you lost?
