****Official Weight Loss and Exercise Thread****

[luv]

I know that TinyE has the CP Weight Loss Challenge thread, but this is a new beginning for me. No losing weight for prizes, as that motivation ended on July 1st. This time I'm doing it for me. My goal is 75 lbs. Slow and steady wins the race. This time, the prize will be a whole new me.

Anyone else still battling the bulge? Here, hopefully, you can find more encouragement and tips on diet and exercise. Feel free to talk about discouragements, setbacks, frustrations, etc as well. We're here to help...at least I am.

Both I believe the result of overdoing it. So I'm doing everything I can to try and prevent a repeat of that, both pacing myself in terms of getting the program going again and stretching for the first time. Mainly because I'm old and want to maintain my flexibility, but partly just to try it, because I never have before.

My new stretching regimen involves a single 30-second stretch for each or a dozen or so muscle groups, so that would actually match the findings outlined in your link.

Sweet! Good luck to you! Injury bugs are a real bitch.
