It was a big (really big) decision for me to join WW. I knew I needed help and I needed more support than a thin husband to give.
Well after I wi today (and was down again!!) I knew I needed to make a real serious exercise decision. My neighbor and I walked last summer everyday but Sunday, and after a rough winter I felt I need more than just walking. Today she called when I came home from WW and said she had just joined Curves.
After seeing my doctor this afternoon I too joined Curves. I did it for me, and I deserve that 90 mins a week to treat myself. I can move now and I love it, now on to another step.
I just needed to share that with my buddies.
MK...that is just the most wonderful news that I have heard all day....You are such a tremendous lady...Way to go....Walking together..and now curves..fantastic..I am so happy for you...Keep up the strong spirit..Love and Hugs..Kathy graemlins/wave.gif

It just goes to show that if you can do it MK, anyone else should be able to do it too!! Are you listening Carla???? tongue.gif Good for you MK!! I'm glad to hear you're taking the time for yourself; everyone knows you certainly deserve it!!
Good for you M K. You are lucky to have someone that you can walk with for friendship and conversation. As for curves and deserving 90 min. a week for yourself, i would say you deserve a whole lot more that that. Just take care of yoursrlf and good luck. Hugs Ris graemlins/thumbup.gif

MK, You are without a doubt an amazing woman. I admire your strength! Your goal will get closer and closer as you work the whole program.
And, Jeanette, "yeah, yeah, I hear ya!" Man, you are the squeaky wheel, aren't ya? :D I really am exercising now and, you were right, I feel much better. So, here is to me and Merikathryn!
Love and prayers,
Carla

Go MK!! ;) I have found that my exercise may sometimes be painful or difficult but overall it has not done anything but increase my stamina and my sense of well-being. Some days are a struggle but it is worth every pound of sweat I put into it. :D

Good for you, MK! Lots of people really enjoy Curves, so I hope you'll be one of them. I've considered it myself, but need to check their hours.

Good for you Meri. I love those words "I did it for me and "I deserve" and you are soooo right! Congrats.
I walk at least 3 miles a day. I'm bumping it up to 4 now.
I checked out the gyms, including Curves, but it's too pricey and I don't feel I need it. Walking - for "me" is better and cheaper right now.
So Congrats. again and sounds like you are on the road to weight loss success and good health. graemlins/thumbup.gif
