I am starting tomorrow morning. I need to. I am so out of shape I can't even walk without being out of breath. I have let myself go so far and I am very angry at myself for doing that. But at the same time I don't want to be like this for the rest of my life. It is not pleasant to have trouble putting my shoes on. I just want to cry because I feel so hopeless. All the old cliche. It is like a very high mountain that I need to climb. But they are all true. That is why I am here. I will need motivation and help, lots of help. I want to see my kids grow up. I want to be able to work in my garden. I would like to be in shape and not afraid of what my blood test will reveal. Plus my blood pressure has gone back up to 160/105 and I don't want to go on medication. As soon as I go down in the 225 range, it goes back down to 125/85, way more acceptable. So here I go.

Hi Brigitte,

Boy I hope tomorrow is great for you!!!!! I am sorta new here but i know this is certainly the place to come for motivation and help. I read your blog and could just pepper you with questions but alas, i will refrain for fear of scaring you off. your blog is very well written!!!

I hope you keep coming back to this wonderful site! What diet are you following? I am doing WW (I have the materials and just do it on my own)
much luck to you, Brigitte!!!!

thank you for your warm welcome and for your compliment on my blog.
Fire away with your question, I will be happy to answer them.
I am upping my exercise and just counting calories. I have been on WW on line for the last year and a half and it didn't work for me. I was not accountable. So I am using fitday to count my calories and for now I am walking but I hope to be jogging soon.
Happy to say that my first day was great and I am going to sleep now. On to day 2.
Much luck to you to ibbasquish.
