I got the scales yesterday and used them this morning. I was surprised at the number, it not being as high as I had anticipated. I am not ready to publish the number, but will...one day. I then dusted off my walking shoes and walked for 30 minutes. I will walk this route for a week and then increase the distance. I have had a good day as far as food goes. I am watching the fat intake. I have done this before and it has been successful and there is so much more to chose from. Live is good.........
