I've pinched around, I AM winning, I'll get there! I bought excercise tapes but haven't gotten up and done them yet. I am the worst about excercise. I'll walk anywhere as much as you want, but toneing I dread. I've changed so many other things, maybe I'll work up to excercise too.

You're most welcome Rita! I found that information to be encouraging as well...."music to my ears"!!!

You ARE winning and that's very important to keep in mind at all times...it's alllll happening and you're getting closer and closer to your goal each day.

Walking is a terrific way to exercise so hey, if you're not up to the workout tapes...just put on those running shoes and go for a lovely walk! It's the best form of exercise out there by far....doesn't cost anything, one can do it pretty much anywhere at anytime and it's great for releasing tention. Sometimes when I'm just not in the mood to jump on my glider, my husband and I go to the park/lake that is near us and walk around....it's a welcomed change!

Keep up the great work Rita!
