Hi All, I'm a new member and just wanted to say hello. I really have a big job ahead. I'm Obese at 250 lbs and just started exercising this month.
October 4th I started with walking, measuring in feet. I know that's a little different, but what I did was measure out an 1,100 foot track in the yard, with each lap around the yard it gives me 1,100 feet.
Here's my log so far...Wish me Luck. Pica

4 1100x3 = 3300 feet
5 1100x3 = 3300 feet
6 1100x3 = 3300 feet
7,8,9 rain
10 1100x3 + 600 = 3900 feet
11 400x9 = 3600
12 400 x10 = 4000 fell and rain
13 400x7 = 2800....knee and side hurt from fall
14 400x3 = 1200
15 no
16 400x13+100 = 5300 yipee first mile need to start timing
17 1100x5 = 5500 2nd mile....time 32 minutes...735a/807a
18 none
19 1100x5 = 5500 31 minutes time 351pm/422p
20 none
21 1100x7 = 7700 almost 1 1/2 miles time 39 mins 341p 420p

good luck!

Dear Pica,
I am new here, too. I wish to congratulate you. Soon to be losing a few pounds myself.

You said you had fallen was that because of the rain or slippery grass? I have some old tapes (cassette ones from Weight Watchers and also a ped 0 meter. Plan to use them at an enclosed lap circle as soon as my physical therapy in an aquatic tank is over. I have trouble with my sciatic nerve and numbness in right leg. The therapist says it will take time, but sees that I should be able to handle it. Great for you maybe we can buddy up...take care...Cheryl in Virginia
