Marcelle you are now where from us. We walk together when the weather is really nice like it was this weekend. WOW it was beautiful. Haines Point is East Potomac Park near the Lincoln Memorial in DC. It is 3 miles around and there is no turning back. We have been doing it in about 1 hour. We walked at the track on Sunday and that might be better if you are walking with the baby in the stroller, that way you can stop if necessary or 3 miles is too much. TOPS Taking Off Pounds Sensibly is a weight loss support group that I love. I tell everyone with weight issues about them because it is a place you can go where everyone can relate to your weight issues. 5 of us from MD belong to TOPS now, it can't hurt anything. Check out the website, just search for TOPS for you local chapter. $23 a month and $3 a month in for dues, first visit is free because you are a visistor and you can join after that is you like.

Although it may be tempting to drastically cut your calorie intake when you want to lose weight, experts say this method simply sets you up to fail. Why? Because your body is programmed to defend your normal weight, so when you slash calories to less than 800 to 1,000 a day, your metabolic rate adjusts (that is, slows down) to conserve the few calories you do consume. So if you cut too many calories, you may not lose any weight at all. It's also unlikely that you'll be able to stick to your highly restrictive diet for very long. Eventually your body will think you're starving, causing a complex system of chemical reactions to cue your body to demand food. Thus, you'll be hard-pressed not to give in to your cravings, which will cause you to overeat and, inevitably, to gain weight. Nutrition experts say the best way to lose weight is the tried-and-true formula of adhering to a low-fat diet that includes lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, keeping sweets to a minimum and exercising regularly.
