My Weight-loss Adventure

This Blog is a chronicle of the weight-loss adventure I began on June 12, 2003 with Michael Thurmond's Six Week Body Makeover program, which is available at www.provida.com. It contains my story and the tools I have used to assure success along the way.

111th Week

This was an exciting week. Brown Bear (Margaret) and I were contacted by Provida, saying they would like to "consider" us for their next infomercial. We had to have the necessary information back to them by the 31st of July, which we did. I have no idea if either of us will be picked, but it was such fun thinking about it anyway. I won't be disappointed if I don't get it, but it really would be a lot of fun, if we could get to do it!!

This week, I also increased my walking from the usual 2 miles in 30 mins. to 3.5 miles in 50 minutes on one day and on alternating days I do 4.25 miles in 60 min. Since I'm such a klutz, I just walk in the house. My orthopedic dr. did not want me using a treadmill unless it happened to be manual and totally flat. That comgination is hard to find, so I just put on the old walking shoes and make laps throughout my house!! It is making a tremendous difference in my SHAPE, and I love it. I did lose 1 lb. this past week and 2-1/2 inches!!! So the walking is really paying off. That means I have 18 more lbs. to lose to get to my initial goal. As I've mentioned before, I may want to lose 10 more lbs. and try to get down to a size 12. I'll just have to see when I get there!!!

    Liz, thank you so much for being an inspiration. You and I e-mailed a couple of times in the past. I finally purchased my program. I need to lose weight even more now. I found that I have serious health problems and I am going to have grand children in the near future. Please think of me while I try to figure it all out. I am not an organized person.
    thanks again for haning in there.
