I'm all for the support thing and would like to participate, but for me it's going to be baby steps, at least for a while. As part of therapy, I am also working on gaining greater understanding of the emotional causes that have always brought me back to overeating and sedentary ways. With his and Rick's help, I am developing an individualized plan so that any changes I make will be permanent, improve my long-term health, and not inevitably cause me to regain the weight; I would rather remain as I am than go through that again.
I am also in physical therapy for my knees so that I can start doing fitness walking again -- for that I have to do a bazillion thigh and hip exercises every day (or else the PTs can tell I haven't done them LOL), so that's a start, I guess.
I've ranged between 210 and 235 for more than 10 years, and any goal beyond a 25-pound loss seems overwhelming right now, so that will be my initial goal. After maintaining that loss for a while, I'll settle on a new goal.
