Judy...I can do some faster walking, but not much.If I get wheezy, have to quit.

No problem in upping food intake.....will try that & might be I need to add some every day.At my advanced age, health has to come 1st.Will be happy to lose 30pds total...& KEEP it off.

Had lunch today at Cracker Barrel......love the veggie plate ...had that with a slice of plain bread.
Have plenty of calories left....maybe a balogna sandwich & V 8 juice later.


{quote)Patti, there has to be a trick to get your body into the down mode. As hard as it is, can your try a higher calorie day followed by a low calorie day? No matter how short your walk is, try some interval walking. As soon as your muscles are warmed up, zoom for a short distance, then back to normal and repeat as soon as your heart rate goes back down. I now zoom for the distance between houses - at first I think I could only do 15 or 20 steps. It looks like we'll be walking in the rain today.
