I find that I'm more accountable for my actions if I tell other people about it. If it's just me, I'll fail in a heartbeat.<br /><br />We can do this!Cheerful Homemakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18063336645711094029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449099347505249832.post-15654024299441561382012-04-04T09:44:12.345-04:002012-04-04T09:44:12.345-04:00I just so happened to start my exercise routine th...I just so happened to start my exercise routine this past Monday as well!!

That is a wonderfull goal waiting at th...Good luck! That is a wonderfull goal waiting at the end! And 1.5 lb per week is definitely do-able, just try and avoid the diets that are really a risk to your health (you know, the starvation type ones!) .... exercise definitely seems to be the big factor, and what better than swimming! Try and do things at your desk too .... with your feet on the floor do calf lifts,or if you can have a little dumbell weight, or weights that velcro to your wrists and ankles, you could burn up a few extra calories, and I reckon it all adds up!<br /><br />I am heading to the UK too .... at the end of the month, permanently! Let me know how your itinerary looks closer to the time and it would be nice to meet you and your husband in person and maybe I can take a couple of those photos for you .... though with my limited sight you might have to double check I haven't chopped your heads off ;)<br /><br />It's a time of challenges for me too, not losing weight but dealing with blindness and starting dialysis has been a bit overwhelming at times! <br /><br />Oh and one other bit of advice, remember that if you weigh yourself one time and it has gone up a 1lb or even 1.5lb , that is easily acounted for in just the variation of the scale or short term water weight that may be gone again the next day ... my kidney doc told me to drink more water and I put on 4lb without any difficulty at all and on a dry day it'll drop just as quickly! water is good because it fills you up and keeps your body healthy even if it does add a couple of pounds .... better a couple of pounds of water versus fries lol<br /><br />Good luck!Gileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11350484616771510066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-449099347505249832.post-9888844474390114082012-04-04T09:05:17.519-04:002012-04-04T09:05:17.519-04:00Congratulations on making your mind up!
