Wow!

Quote From: caryllium

Starting small is the key.  It has been the key for me personally.  I have lost 130 lbs.  I started changing my eating habits one habit at a time.  I changed my exercise habits slowly, very slowly.  I did what this author suggests.   

  

I parked as far away as possible.  I did each errand the long way by making extra trips.  If I needed 3 things from upstairs, I made 3 separate trips.  I began fidgeting in the car, in the cashier lane at the grocery store, everywhere.  I would tap my toes, wiggle my fingers, shift weight from one foot to the other. 

  

When I was heavy, I was so sedentary.  Now I have so much energy, and I feel great. 

  

I wish you the best of luck. 

 I couldn't let your post go unnoticed!  CONGRATULATIONS!! That's an incredible amount of layers to say goodbye to and you are great!
Thanks for reinforcing my advice. That's how I started too, but I only had to lose 50lbs. It's all in those life-long you replace the eating and feeling sorry for yourself with.

  Thank you for the advice !  

    I have started moving a little at a time . My kids go shopping with me : I zip through the store in 20 minutes . I was just making my way through in about an hour. 

  My Husband Bought me a bicycle for my birthday and I am really enjoying that. 

  Again THANK YOU for everything!
