Welcome to all the new foks! We are here to change our lives by eating healthy and exercising. We have really concentrated on the food end of it, and left the exercise end up to the individual. For most people, if you are eating right, your body will find its' ultimate weight on its' own. But if you want to trim and tone, you really do have to get some exercise.
I am in a breast cancer research program studying the effects of exercise on recovery. (am cancer free, by the way, one year!) I walk 2 miles on a track twice a week, and do 12 reps on 8 nautilus machines, and lift free weights twice a week. It has really helped. I am done with the program as of the end of this month, and am signing up for the Y this week. I am determined to keep this size 6 body I never expected to have at 51 years old, and in order to do so I know I need the exercise too.
I am not an exercise freak and am not nearly as dedicated to exercise as I am to eating right, but I know the two of them go hand in hand to keep you well and keep the body working right. I encourage all of you to eat right AND exercise!
Keep up the good work, everyone!! I am so proud of all of you!!
