Reading  

I commend you for using your own body and activity to reach the weight goals that you have set...

No fancy pills, no secret formulas, just an excellent resolve and a good diet, This will work better than any fad-thing out there...

The advent of the IPOD and MP3 player, has made the task of carrying hundreds of book, music and even video files along with you for your walk- these devices weigh practically nothing, but add super-variety to your daily chores...

Good going, and keep up the good work! :)

I prefer to read the book itself. Years ago I had a few cassette
tapes of books and hated them actually. Too much to concentrate on.
I seem to get a better "picture" of the storyline reading it rather than having it read to me.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Hi Fishmomma:

I only like to read books. I don't buy any on tape or CD.

Good luck with loosing your weight.

Though I'll admit that I've never attempted to "listen" to a book the thought of it really doesnt appeal to me in all honesty...I like to sit with a book and a cup of tea and actually READ my books PLUS for me, certain voices annoy the hell out of me and if it jsut so happened that the book reader had one of "those" voices I would be really ticked off LOL

I always prefer to read books which are written. I can read it in a far more relaxed atmosphere and at my convenience.

I always read from a novel. My daughter, on occassion, has listened to books on tapes.
Actually your idea is very good indeed.
I hate exercise, & only enjoy walking occasionally. Maybe listening to a story on tape would help me to get motivated to walk.
And this, loose weight.
Good thinking & thanks for sharing that with us.
