I've finally decided it's time to get this weight off my body. I'm about 5'3" and weight in at about 205 lbs. Two weeks ago I started walking about three times a week and eating better, and so far it seems to be helping. Now last week, I increased exercising up to every day for at least 30 to 45 minutes. Most days I will walk depending on the weather, and others I go down to our fitness room and use an elliptical machine (it's the only one they have down there.. kind of cheap if you ask me lol). The most I skip is one day a week. I've just so had it with taking blood pressure medications and living with side effects, so it is time to get this done. I've struggled with blood pressure problems for going on about 4 years now and I'm just sick of it; I hate worrying about it all the time. Within the last 3 weeks, I've lost about 5 pounds already. I already feel better, have a little more energy. The only drawback is Rheumatoid Arthritis. Some days when I walk my joints kill me on the next day.
This lady at the doctor's office suggested I eat more protein throughout the day to stay full longer. Does this work for anybody else? Anybody got any advice for me? I feel good about doing this but I'm afraid it's going to be like the last time I did this and stopped because I felt it wasn't going anywhere..
