Quit smoking 8 months ago and put on weight on top of the 10-15 pounds extra I was already lugging around. Decided to get serious about this around the first of April. Changed my eating habits and got myself a gym membership. Been doing the same old exercises for about 6 + weeks now. Trying to learn about fitness. Discovered, not good doing same old routine. Found this site. I'm in love with it. It's just exactly what I need to complete my regime. Thank you, Thank you and thank you. I've lost 17 pounds already but have another 24 or more to go. Besides,,I think I've found something I enjoy here and something that will keep me a bit younger as I patiently wait for my 28 and 26 year olds to marry and give me a couple of grand kids. ---------------------------- Judie

smithjls Posts: 29 Joined: 2002/05/06	2002/05/22, 03:23 PM Thanks everyone. ISCHJLI, do call you mom. That's how all this started. My son kept at me to quit smoking and get healthier. Did it is a nice way,,,not too nagging or pushy. Told me he loved me and wanted me for a long time. Well, this is the results of his encouragement. And I do feel soo much healthier. So call Mom. Tell her how much you love her and that you want the very best for her. Ok. off my soap box. Again thank you. Started the new program and love it. Oh, and quess what? Dropped another pound. -------------- Judie

She and I are 2 hours apart, so I can't run over and give her the little pep talk or physically drive her to the gym....

I live in Maine,,,he used to live in Virginia. So 2 1/2 hours now seems like a breeze. Good luck. Don't push mom,,,just let her know how much her good health means to you. :-)
