today is a new day

[MARILYNFJ]

For the past week, I have maintained the same weight. That is a good start towards losing. Will try to add exercise this week, and more water. Aiming to lose 20 lbs., and then go farther.

Welcome, MARILYNFJ , you look like you mean business

I sure do! Cannot participate in the walking group for two reasons:

1. Allergies

2. Lymphedema

Sometimes I walk around my condo and that feels good. Right now it is cold in Florida so I MIGHT chance a walk outside later today. Am a Realtor and a buddy is having an open house nearby. Dare I try... might WALK there instead of driving. For sure I will wear compression hose for support. Right now I am in my compression boots. I try to use them twice a day for an hour each. They are a huge help - almost NO ACHING in my legs.

Good on you! I don't know what constitutes "cold" in Florida but it's barely been above zero these last few days in this part of the UK.

We all have to find our own programme for eating and exercise, and I hope you find a level that pushes you without adding to your health problems.

Working on it! At 4 am in West Palm Beach FL it is 46 degrees (WHAT?) and 17 mph winds. Where did I put those long johns?

Good for you. That's my goal too. Good luck.
