Trying to catch up here...

Would all of you mind telling me what your weight loss starting point was, how much you've lost and what type of fitness plan you're using. Also, how many calories you're eating per day?
Thankx

Hi!
Thanks so much for getting back to me Deb. It's just nice to know what type of progress everyone else is having here on the board. I'm sure all the info is here on the board someplace, but there seems to be a lot to read in order to get to all the info. Wow, working out 2 hrs a day has certainly got me beat by a long shot! That's what I call dedication! I'm up to 1hr a day on the treadmill and I feel great about that. It's hard for me to keep from pushing myself too fast on the treadmill because I always used to run and now I have to hold myself back (not only because of the x-tra weight I have but I doubt running again would be good for my back). I can get a pretty good pace going while power walking so this is a good start for me. I too started out wearing a sz. 16 and thankfully I'm now into a 14. I threw all my sz 16's out so I will never get back into them again!!! I cannot believe I actually got up to a sz 16 (normally I wear a 6-8).
Next question...what's up with the mile game that you guys are playing here? I'm just not sure of the rules and such. Anyway, have a great weekend. I will be working on paperwork for our business (my husband and I have a transportation business) and hitting the gym (of course):).

I hope someone will post the mile game rules.
Hi J,
I just started on this board about 3 weeks ago, I think.

The challenge is a cyber walk across the US and up north to our friend in Canda. We use it as an incentive for ourselves to eat healthy, exercise, drink our water and take our supplements. We give ourselves a mile for each 15 minutes of exercise that we do. It also includes those of us who do a lot of gardening and outdoor work, housecleaning, anything and everything that keeps us moving. Another mile for having a healthy day of eating, which is whatever plan or way of healthy eating that you do. Water consumption is also whatever you consider the right amount for yourself. There's no competition involved just a fun way to keep ourselves motivated!
Jump on in if you'd like. Patty keeps us updated on how far we've traveled.

Susan,
Glad to read the clarification on the mile thing.
