Hi, yall. I'm Alexia from Southern MS. This looks like a friendly forum with members having varying goals... I have been working on becoming healthy for a little over a month now. I have incorporated excercise and healthy food only into my diet. So many other forums seem to be mostly about weight lifting only. I just want to lose weight and be physically fit- not enter some bodybuilding competition- not yet, anyway.
I still have a long way to go, and it's very disconcerting... been at this for a month (seems like 6) and have only dropped about 4 lbs. Then I get on the scale sometimes and that 4 is back.
I'm thinking about taking an axe to the scale.
I weigh 156 lbs and I need to be about 123 to be just barely at a healthy weight. I have been mostly sedentary til recently. I do about an hour of pilates, some lifting of 2 lb weights, and walk 2 miles every other day. That may not seem like much, but compared to my old ways, it's amazing.
Hope to get along well here.
F.
