Hi WILLOW . . .
. . . I'm afraid I cannot give you advice on exercise . . . either for getting motivated or staying motivated -- definitely not my strongest area.
I can give you information about the weight ticker that you see at the botom of a lot of posts around 3FC. That is located in the "signature area" and, because we get a lot of what we call "spammers" (people who only join to post links to further their own money-making (or more unpleasant) agenda, we limit signature privileges and, therefore, ticker privileges, to those members who have been with us for 30 days and have at least 30 posts. So just stick around and keep posting and the time will just whiz by and then we'll be pleased to help you if you need it.
BTW . . . I do hope you'll be joining us on one of our regular monthly (more or less) chat threads that are located down under the
Sticky area. We'll all be looking forward to seeing you in there. In the meantime, glad to hear that the dog is doing soooooo well.
Im Baaaaack!!!
This week was harder with daugher here from Ca and graduation receptions and parties but I will weigh tommorow.
Feel so bad and so depressed.
I am at an all time high for never getting on the scales! Do you believe from one summer to the next I gained only 50 lbs. I was at 150, wearing nice size 10-12, even wearing hip hugging 11/12. I took it forgranted and then boom--I went to the doctor and weighed 196!! I am unhappy to no degree! I know I have to walk and spice my exercise up with going to the pool. You see I used to teach water aerobics. In the water you build muscle and it burns fat. It's much harder to move water than air. I'm in the country so I guess I'll walk today in the woods or waste gas and walk to the track with my dogs.
