I started walking about three weeks ago. My friend and I try to walk about an hour three days a week. That's just a starter, though. I didn't want to jump into anything that might hurt me. I plan on running when my body's ready. Anyway, I saw my doctor last week, and she approves everything I'm doing. I also saw a nutrionist, who put me on a three meal/three snack a day diet (about 2000) calories. I'm going to read some more of my information, do some planning, and start on Sunday.
I'm really nervous ladies. I've been overweight so long and have tried so many times before. I don't want to fail again. A few years ago, I had managed to get from 240 lbs down to about 195 lbs. I didn't maintain it, though. I keep telling myself that I must not have been ready.
Well, I finally am, but it's just so nerve racking. I now weigh about 270 lbs. I would like to eventually get down to around 150 lbs. I know I'm on the right track, and my buddy is wonderful. It's just plain scary.

You'll do fine and you'll be fine. We all worry about failing, that's where I think the fear comes from. Gosh, sometimes I live with failure on a daily basis. But when it comes down to it, I look at it this way. Failure only gives us another reason to try again.
You're already doing so great with the walking, which is half the battle. Keep up the great work!
Good luck to you and post often. You'll love it here!
