I have just started on the Healthy for Life program, and I have gone from 230 to 215 in a little over 3 weeks. I have no hunger or cravings now and it is wonderful. I have to start exercising, and I need more than a push. Be cause of the back operation ( fusion) and not getting to do the walking that I should have done around a month after, my back is no better if now worse than it was before I'm trying to take it slow doing walking, I all so have a Nordic track that I am going to start using.
Wish me luck. I am 5ft 2 and my weight makes it hard to do the things I want to do. I am a mother to 7 and a step mother to 2 and I have 6 grandchildren.

Carolyn, Have you tried the walking tapes? They are called Walking away the pounds. I got mine on Ebay and then found them in Target stores. They are really great for us with back and hip problems. You don't even feel like you have given any strain either.
