Default Got to get this weight off!

I've always struggled but now I'm at my heaviest and I hate it! I have started making some great changes this past month. I have started walking every day and when I first started, I could barely walk a mile. I even had to keep stopping to catch my breath. Now I'm up to walking four miles comfortably most days. I usually average about 5 days a week. Now I'm trying to get my diet in check. Thought I'd need some extra support so I found this site. I've been on others before that aren't very active and so I thought I'd give this one a try. My diet of choice is low carbing. About 10 years ago, I discovered the low carb life style and lost about 50 lbs. at that time. I'm convinced it's the only thing that really works for me. I do carry alot of weight in my belly and have looked into other plans but I actually do best, when I'm just incorporating ideas from different plans and pretty much do my own thing. I try to stay at no more than 45 carbs a day and I'm trying to stick to more of a whole foods diet (no processed). Well, I guess I went on enough. It's good to be here!

Thanks so much Michelle! Just looked at your pictures and what an inspiration! Sometimes It feels like it's going to take forever to see progress but I know I just need to keep plugging away.

Way to go Sharyn! 4 miles is great! I'm still topping out at 2 miles in my hilly neighborhood.

Well, I think the hills make all the difference on what you can do. At the park I usually walk, four miles is a real challenge but sometimes we go to this other place where the trail is all flat and I feel like it is easy and I could do more.
