Another exercise support thread

[BeingMe]

I have been trying to get into an exercise routine for the past year, post-radiation, chemo. I was told to keep my weight even, but that was at 212lbs. Ugh! Wasn't difficult to keep it, but now my doc says to lose it. I am trying, but bad habits like ice-cream is making it difficult.

So, I have sent away for a walking program from Prevention mag. I hope it will work. I do take the dog for walks, do yoga with the Wii dvd, and have started a weekly tai-chi class (which is over for the summer but teacher gave us a dvd to keep up). I just want to lose 50lbs, and build some muscle (I am 52 so now is the time).

Wishing everyone else good luck with their programs.
