Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Hi everyone... I didn't mean to fall off the face of the planet (LOL)... week days get so busy for me and this group, as well as my other groups got very busy with the first of the year, as you can well imagine, so I put myself on digest for all of them. Lori...Lettie... any other new comers I missed... welcome! I am new too this week (to this group anyway) been working on my weight issues for about a year now. Last year, lost 18 lbs and 35 inches roughly (2nd half of the year)... I could kick myself in the hiney: if I hadn't wasted the other half, all that would be double.... I am the one that walked enough steps to climb 5 mtns (virtual tracker at health@work program) I am very visual oriented, so it is cool to see the thing going up a mountain then getting a certificate and button when I hit the peak. Holy cow: 1.33 million steps in 7 months last year. , you mentioned walking slow due to an uneven gait... have you considered orthotics? I never really paid much attention to it. Years ago, I had to take physical therapy due to a herniated disc in my back causing a lot of grief and the PT told me at that time that I should get them.... I get a lot of back, knee, etc pain and when I treated myself to my New Year's shoes, I bought a cheap-o pair at Wally-World and it really seems to help, that or the new shoes... but it might be something you talk with your doctor, chiropractor, etc about... Sue, you are fantastic with all your words of wisdom! I definately look forward to each day to see what you have to say.... Re: Curves... I joined Curves in October and I don't know where you all live that it is over $50 a month... here (Spokane, WA) I pay $32 a month, which I equate to lunch out once a week to make it worth it in my brain. What I couldn't have done is/was the registration fee at $150, fortunately when they ran their breast cancer promo last fall I got that waived.... yehaw (and only a 12 month committment... what's this 2 years? sheesh...) Anyway.... Wednesday, half way to the weekend. Hope you are all having a great week! Moving two steps forward and one step back, but moving in the right direction!More of Him, Less of Me"I am holding you by your right hand--I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, 'Do not be afraid.
