Glad to hear you got those taken care of. I need to tirm up. Started hikiong for a year and had gotten to feeling better and then came to Charlotte where I dont know the area so well and only made it on a 2 mile all year that almost killed me.

Im actually thinking of going on a shorter hike this weekend since my legs are broken in from Vegas. Great weather for it.

Wanna get trim? Here's what worked for me. I guarantee results. Six to eight months Jenny Craig. Walk three to four time a week for two hours....three to five miles....mostly up steep hills. Once a week have a real dinner and this time next year you will be wearing a whole new wardrobe. You can buy shoes with laces again.

I like this idea.
Im relocated out of the Park Avenue styled condo into a different place away from all the close by resturants. Hiking is for sure on my plan never occured to me to do Jenny Craig/Weight Watchers with a real dinner a week.

Portion control!

That has always been my biggest dietary downfall. I eat a fairly balanced diet. i just eat too much.

I could stand to do the walking thing too, although there isn't anything in south Texas that even remotely resembles steep hills.

Dude, yeh - I know I may not be the BEST person since I eat like a piglet. But on the other hand - when I know I ma going to have a ginormous pile of food, I eat less at other meals. Like a WW points system.

I know for a lot of my friends, WW has done wonders for them - the accountability of a weekly weigh in and tracking their caloric intake via points or similar makes a huge difference. I have adopted some of the patterns and habits just by having been exposed to it a lot.

Its as hard as quitting smoking. But if you have the will power and desire, it works perfectly. Here is the bonus, the lighter you get the easier it is to walk up hills and stairs. When I first started, someone told me to pick up a concrete block and walk up a flight of stairs. It was a killer. A concrete block weighs 45 pounds. Figure out how much you want to lose and that is how many concrete blocks you won't be carrying around with you day in and day out. Imagine how hard your ticker is pumping to carry that concrete. That is what turned me.
