I have told myself that I would start walking 3 miles a day or more until my surgery date (except on Sundays). I will have walked 120 miles just at 3 miles per day. Some days I have walked as much as eight. I lost 6 lbs, and have put 4 back on as of this morning. I understand it might be muscle and the loss was probably water. I also know to stay off of the scales, but I just have the hardest time with that. Do I want to continue walking? Will my body be too used to it by the time I have surgery that it won't help me lose? I am pretty sure my heart and lungs will love me for it. :thumbup: I can now get to my 2nd floor apartment and not feel like passing out. I am actually out walking my friend that weighs 50 lbs less than me. I am sure I will keep going, because I love to set goals and then reach them. Especially if I couldn't really see the incentive and still accomplished it. That is straight will power. Something I haven't had in a while!

Keep walking! It will pay off. I have got back to the gym recently after being off due to injury for 6 or more months...I've noticed that when I start exercising, it takes a good 3 to 4 weeks before the weightloss really kicks in, so hang in there!

Thank you Sunshine! I will. 3-4 weeks seems like eternity though to see results. I guess I din't get fat overnoght I won't lose it overnight. Thanks again.
