Does anyone have trouble with balance? I notice as I get older that things like the power kicks are hard to do. I fell a couple times this year and does that ever hurt. Still doing 4 mi a day with 5lb weights.

2 miles again today, so far I am up to 33 miles total for since October 3rd.

I wanted to workout yesterday, but my body told me I needed a break so I took a rest day.

I did 4 Fast Miles this morning with 3 lb hand weights.

carolr3639 - I don't have problems with balance, but when the pace is brisk I can not power kick my leg high even when my core is engaged and I'm pretty flexible. Take it easy and try to do what you can or do another move such as tap outs instead of power kicks.

Great job tubolard! I need to count my miles for the month.

Hello all! I took yesterday off. Did the 3 Mile Weight Loss Walk w/ 2# weights this morning.

Carol, I seem to lose my balance sometimes when I am doing the leg stretches!!

Everyone is doing great!!:carrot::carrot::carrot:

3 miles walked today with 3 pound weights.

Hi everyone!

I did the 4 Fast Miles and the first mile of Walk This Way with 3 lb hand weights this morning.

I was busy with my family events all weekend so I could not workout. The first time since July I missed 2 consecutive days of working out so I have to get to it this week!

AnnieDrews - That's great you were able to get a 4 mile walk in! How was the ghost walk? I love Halloween!

cathyxxx - It's so nice to see you and good job losing 5 lbs!!

Thanks for your kind words and for noticing! Let's see I started off as a size 20, but I was creeping up to a 22. I had to buy those short in my avatar because we had a few warm days back in Feb. and March and I couldn't fit into my old pairs. :(

The way I lost the weight was simple...I drink a lot of water almost every day, I watch what I eat and workout 6 days per week. I do WATP mostly along with some of my fav ExerciseTV clips and I take a strength-training class twice per week. When I started lifting heavier weighs my body started to change dramatically and the inches started to fall off of me. Sometimes I workout twice in a day especially if I know my calories will be high for the day.

I don't count calories, but I take mental notes of how many calories are in different items. I did it all on my own with no gym membership, no Weight Watchers etc., but I do spend a lot of time researching things and learning about the body etc.

Also I had a few restarts earlier this year, but I've been going strong since July and between then and now is when I lost most of my weight. I started off at 254 and now I hover between 217 - 222 these days. I only weigh myself about twice per month. I credit WATP and this forum for helping me keep myself in check such as keeping potato chips out of my shopping cart. lol

Being consistent with the working out and eating healthy has been the key for me.

Oops sorry for rambling, but I hope this helps!

Thanks for sharing, Sunnyside! You have really done great!

Did 2 Mile Fast Walk from Walk Off Even More Weight this morning. Wore the weighted belt.

The ghost walk was a blast!!

Hello all
I was in the running blog but I am walking more than running
Please let me in...

10.5 miles today outside
6 miles inside on an elliptical w/arms.

Have a good one everyone!

Hello, Angela and welcome!! 16.5 miles is amazing!!

I did the 3 Mile Boot Camp w/ bands this morning. My brain kept getting distracted, but I got it done, LOL!!:carrot:

3 miles with 3 pound weights. I was only supposed to walk 2 miles (I was going to flip from 2 to 3 every other day until I got used to 3) but I just wanted to keep going so I did.

Thanks AnnieDrews! Glad to hear you had an amazing time at the Ghost Walk!

I had a bit of extra time yesterday so I did Walk This Way which is 2 miles, so I did a total of 7 miles yesterday.

I'm trying a new one today "Walk Off 10 Pounds" which is 3 miles.
