February 22nd

Congratulations to Big Changes!!  The fitness program was featured in the story about me last week.  According to Christa, they are booked solid and have a waiting list!

I am so proud of all of those that were able to get in and decided to make a positive choice!

I hope there are many others that are able to get into a program.

I have decided that once the weather gets nicer, I would like to get some people together to go walking.  I think the Johnson County Community College has a track (if not, there are the local high schools).  I think I would like to set up a weekly meeting to walk, share with each other and get healthy.  Even if it's just one day a week, I would love to do it.

If you are in the Metro area, let me know what you think of the idea.
A little fresh air and exercise never hurt anyone.

Busy night, lots of work to do... 2 more days this week!  It's been a long week so I'm ready for Friday.

Thought of the Day:
A healthy outside starts from the inside.

  1. I am trying to loose weight and I think what you are doing is so inspirational to me. I am trying to do it alone and its hard with noone to talk to about. If you dont mind and you need a friend around the metro area let me know and i will give you my number. I know it would be helpful to me...

    1. I am also in the metro and saw this on the action 41 news website. I thought I would try following the blog to see if I can get some inspiration. I need support more than anything. I'm also doing this alone. My husband and children can eat anything and not gain an ounce. Me, on the other hand, puts it on so easily. I have joined weight watchers but am still feeling alone on that program because I haven't taken the time to connect or develop a bond with other members, which is what I need for support. I'm wondering if there is a way to actually develop an on line support system and possibly get together on occasion. My email address is kn.deutsch@gmail.com. Feel free to email me to start a support system this way. I have 5 children, 2 of which I have home with me all day, so I think this way of support and communication would be helpful. Going to weight watchers meetings was very difficult to do with my kids. This is why I didn't develop a support system through that program.....

  2. Would you like to use my Fat Girl in the Corner facebook page as an online support group or such? Instead of setting up something else we can do that. I have some other ideas but I'll let you know through the blog when that comes about.

  3. I would....I am not sure how to use the Facebook page and keep my comments private from my friends. Do you know if my comments would be visible to my friends on Facebook? Maybe it doesn't really matter. Thanks for responding.

    1. Maybe I should set up another page to use for the weight loss support.

  4. I have an idea, I will contact you about it later. Don't set up a page just yet.

    1. That is great! I'm thinking about rejoining but I know I need the support more than anything or I will just quit. I'm hoping to find the support online, with occasionally meeting.

  7. I love the idea of walking outside. I really prefer that to the treadmill but you do what you gotta do when it's cold out! :)
