I am new to this forum thing, and new to weight loss and walking. I have been changed my eating habits for good and started walking two weeks ago. So far so good, I have been trying hard but not suffering any. It has not bothered me at all, in fact i have been enjoying eating healthy and geting out for my daily walks. Usually about 5 to 8 km a day, sometimes twice a day, but usually just once. I need all the support i can get and love hearing from new people. Take care and keep walking !

Hi Wantolosealot and welcome to both 3fc and the Alternachicks forum!

You seem to be doing well with you daily walks. I enjoy walking too, I walk to work and back home everyday, it is a 25 minute walk each way and I also do a lot of walking on the weekends.

Are you on any kind of eating plan or are you doing your own thing?

Talk to you soon!

Hi there. Another Canadian!!!!
Welcome to Alternachicks and to the 3FC website. Snoop around and post lots - great info here.

Wow, There are a lot of Canadians aboard. Thats great! Like hearing from all countries and all kinds of people. I was on vacation last week, and you know what happens than,, I tend to eat more and walk less, at least long distance walking. I was not terrible but could have chosen better but oh well, tomorrow is a new day, and I will make the best of it. I fact I am waiting till it cools down a little tonight and then I will be back on my walking schedule, 7.8 kms. Someone asked for numbers, well i am 5'4 1/2", 264 lbs(down 6 lbs from three weeks ago). I would really like to lose a total of 130 lbs, but i am giving myself lots of time to do it. I want to make this a total life changing comittment. It is not going to be easy and that is why I need lots of support.
Thank you for your encouragement everyone

Hi!

I know what you mean, it has been way to hot to excercise where I am too. I got back from my holiday last Tuesday and went back to work the next day and my eating, exercising and housework routines are so out of whack right now. I haven't had a chance to grocery shop yet and I have no healthy food in the house-back to regular schedules next week

Yeah I guess everyone needs to cheat a little as long as we get back on schedule eventually. Sometimes can be hard to stick to our regular routine when on vacation. Oh well, we are only human. Have a good week all, chat later!
