I bought a heart monitor so I could be sure I was getting the most benefit out of my exercise. (Gotta burn those calories!) I exercise on a mini trampoline. I started out with some slight movements for 10 min to keep my heart rate elevated. Well I must say after about 4 weeks, and now doing 20 min, I have had to jump, move my arms and bounce a lot higher to keep my heart rate elevated. I am so thrilled with my improvement because I know I'm getting in shape!! Oh I still have 30 lbs to go but I am seeing an increase in energy and feeling better. Thanks everyone for all your support!!
What a great report! This is a great reminder that we want to lose weight and gain strength, endurance, get healthier, and feel better. I just realized that I have been thinking about exercise only in terms of losing the pounds. Thank you once again. I had a really bad week or 3 days; it's all a blur now, but am back on track now and starting the point system for WW.

I appreciate everyone sharing the good days and the bad. I have felt like I was a total failure. Today, I'm gonna put that all behind and start over. :-) I have got to get this body moving!
