....or I should actually say, the power of God within me did it! I am very, very overweight and for the last several years I have not really done anything about it. Walking was too much for me. But I started to walk recently and I am actually able to do it without feeling out of breath! The only thing that really hurts are my feet. Yesterday, I decided to walk further than usual in the neighborhood of my church after church, and I did about a mile! Today I decided to go further than that and did what I am pretty sure is more than a mile! Please pray that God gives me the continued motivation and strength to keep this up and to eat the right foods in moderation. Yay! I feel great! :yeah

God bless you all!

Woohoo! Good job. I've been there, too, and it was so hard to keep motivated. But then one day, I looked in the mirror and realized I looked different - thinner. At that point, no one could stop me.

I'm praying for you.:yeah

You go, girl!! :thumb The hardest part is getting started. Now don't stop (unless you get sick, of course). It won't be long before you will start to notice your shape change - a little at a time does it!! :yeah

Suzi, I am so happy for you! Now that you've had some success in the portion control of food and getting exercise, the momentum in this direction will be easier to continue. My favorite program for learning how to eat properly is Weight Watchers who now offer a lot of information and recipes online.
Keep up the good work! You're an inspiration to a lot of us. :hat

Thanks, everyone for your words of encouragement and motivation! I know that with God's help I can keep doing this! :) I did it again today, and I might even go walking near my church tonight after Bible study!

God bless you all! :hug
