Wow! Thank you for that link. I printed out 3 copies.

Unfortunately, at my age, weight, and length of "inactivity" I will have to add another box to the left of the first one (Walking/bike riding) and start a little slower.

(Wow! I rode my bicycle a whole 1/4 mile day before yesterday. ) First time on a bike in SEVERAL years - had to learn all over again. Good thing there was no traffic - I was all over the road! :rolleyesedit:

Took me little over an hour (1 hour, 17 minutes) at a good half steam. I am tired as hell, thank god I took the day off from work. The plus side is the weather was absolutely amazing and dawn at the top of one of those massive hill lookouts is wonderful.

I highly suggest anyone go and run there at least once at dawn in their life.

Good Job!


Here is my update, I finally got myself under 240 at 235 right now. I started to add some jogging into my routine slowly since it is hard on my knees. I walk about a quater mile then jog the next quater mile. So far so good, havent had any knee pain.

That is FANTASTIC! I hope to one day get CLOSE to that, but I'm a realist. I'm 58yo and "grossly" overweight and have been inactive for too long - no muscle left. I have a LONG way to go to even get close.

But all you guys on this thread are an inspiration to me, and give me the incentive to do as much as possible, as quickly as possibly, to get back into some sort of decent shape.

THANK YOU ALL!
