Just read your journal entry on Friends and our influence on each other. Lots of truth there. Thanks for sharing. How much better to be an inspiration and encouragement to others than to be negative and a bad influence. I sometimes tend to be negative, to see the downside before I see the upside, and I know I'm easily influenced by others who are negative. But on the other hand, being around others who are positive helps me to be more positive too.

Thanks for the encouragement. Fortunately, I am in very good health other wise. I enjoy walking, and now that the weather is finally getting warmer here in the northeast, I've started walking again. When I lost wt last time, I walked 3 to 4 miles almost every day. It gets harder every year to lose wt, but not that I've hit 50, I know its even more important to drop some of this extra that I'm carrying. Heart disease and diabetes runs in my family, soooo......

You can be fit at any size, age or time of life. That's the good news. And there are only two rules to achieving fitness: (1) Begin and (2) Continue. Best. Carole

I tried, regressed and then succeeded but it took a few years. Be patient with yourself. Think about the future you want for yourself. Medical issues can loom large (not to mention medical expenses). Those insights will give you courage when you might otherwise give up. Remember, there are only two rules to fitness: (1) Begin and (2) Continue.
Best.
