A co-worker and friend of mine, whom is overweight and smokes, told me today that she has a plan to lose weight, the correct way, by changing her eating habits and starting to exercise. She even suggested that her and I go walking together after work, although being 15 years my junior, is concerned about keeping up with me. About a year ago, I gave her the DVD, The Biggest Loser VOL 1, to motivate her. She now has decided to use it for variety. We were discussing last week, and I knew NOT to push her but only to encourage by example and by motivation. Yes, she sees me when I have chocolate but also knows I will burn it off too by eating right and working out. She is currently on blood pressure, cholesteral, and heart medications in her late 20s. This is a huge step for Michele and she knows it will be hard. Back in my 20s, I had a similiar story but I chose to lose the weight with Cher, Jane Fonda, and Gin Miller so I wouldn't be on meds so we can relate to each other in that sense.
Thanks for your time and pray for Michele to begin her new life.
 
Best of good wishes to Michelle.

Jody I checked out your photos. What a terrific transformation. And Faith n Veggies is just so appropriate.

I will put out good thought for her - great job on helping her get motivated.

Unfortunately for me, my co worker is going for the lap band surgery after trying Weight Watchers for about a year in addition to a circuit program at the local women's gym. I so wish she could be a bit more in control of her intake and put a little more into her exercising.

I will stand behind her whichever way she goes - she really does need to lose in order to be healthier and keep from having knee surgery due to her weight.

Keep us posted . . .;)
