When I first started losing weight, I started drinking several cups of hot

green tea during the day. I think that helped me to lose weight. I'm still

drinking several cups of green, black and/or herbal tea throughout the day and

until I go to bed at night.

Walking is one of the best exercises. If you don't have time to take a 30

minute walk, you can do 3 ten minute walks, start parking your car as far away

from the entrance of stores, walk up steps instead of elevator when possible.

I have started 'dancing' to a PlayStation2 game. It

is DDRMax2 and requires a dance mat. I got one at

GameStop for $15. It is fun and i can do it -- so it

gets me up off my b---!

Bev-

I saw a segment last week on the late news about this game, and it

is being recommened to parents who have teenagers who are inactive,

as a way to motivate them to get some physical activity. Looks like

fun!! To bad I live on the second floor of an apartment building-

my downstairs neighbors would probably report to the management

office for making too much noise (the thumping sounds as I clumsily

dance, yikes)

How about riding a bicycle? Transportation and exercise in one. (Whenever I'm

about to go on an errand, I ask myself if I could do it on my bike; if I can, I

do. Sometimes my car doesn't go out of the garage for days on end.)

I looked at the scale and OH MY!!!

I am looking for a good type of exercise and a way to boost my

metabolism, anyone have suggestions? I have cut out " fast food " from

my diet, except for Subway.

Hi Bruce,

I've started riding a bike again after many, many years. We have a lovely

bike trail near here that I have been riding on. Today I went 12 miles. Whoo

Hoo! My problem is that I don't feel comfortable enough yet to ride where

there are cars. Guess that will come with time.

On the trail again,

Just can't wait to get on the trail again.

The life I love is packing donkeys with my friends

And I can't wait to get on the trail again.

Walking, swimming or anything that is going to get your heartbeat up for at

LEAST 20 min every other day or so. If you cant do walking or things like

that swing your arms in large circles, or use a " pedal " machine that uses

your arms. Just be sure to get the heart rate up. I do my cardio for at

least 30 min, sometimes more, 3 times a week at the gym, then working in the

garden, or swimming in our pool, or other farm chores the rest of the week.

I also do strength training, as the more muscle your body has, the faster it

will burn calories. It is also good for your bones, as it strengthens them,

so there is less risk of osteoporosis later on.

The main rule of thumb, is that you must put out more energy than you are

taking in. May want to check how many calories are in a sandwich at subway?

I try to keep my intake below 1500 calories a day. There are days when I go

over, but I don't sweat it. Also eating every few hours, 5-6 times a day is

good. helps to keep blood sugar even as well as boost metabolism.

Also remember that you need to talk with your dr before starting any

exercise program. Find a good Chart for how high your heart rate needs to

go, Online.
