I have been trying to just set small goals for myself to meet along the way as thinking "wow 70 lbs" in my head seems to be a far stretch.  So i'm trying to go 10 lbs at a time and today finally met my first 10lb loss!  I'm just thrilled!  I started reading my cycle 2 section so that when it comes in the very near future, i'll be ready to go! I read so many blogs and posts and wow what a great support system everyone has across the usa and canada!  Just amazing..  Off to do my walking tapes!
