This has been a GREAT thread. I know for long term maintenance moving my body is a must. I can say this, I am coming off about a six month span of pretty harsh depression which I have NEVER dealt with before. Talk about NOT wanting to MOVE...ugh ugh ugh SO opposite of my personality.

To be able to focus each day on what I am eating and to be able to control my foods etc.....this is a big step. I do exercise 3-4 xms per week but it's just for my mental stability.

Once a week I go to my personal trainer to do weight lifting to help build muscle so I'm not loosing muscle. The other days I simply walk but 2-3 miles. I also live in "valleys" so they are significant walks as far as hills etc :)
