Hi, I started the Paul McKenna Diet and want to keep track of how it goes. I have about 20 pounds to lose. Those last 10 are always the point where I throw in the towel.

I'm here because I need to be here. Seems like I can't fill myself up lately. Starting the ICMUT program is just what I need.
I'm a retired Grammy, mom, and wife. We've traveled the world thanks to the Air Force. I retired from a hectic and demanding job in our Nation's capital.
Since retirement, life has been grand. I'm busy with Mah Jong, golf, Meals on Wheels, church, family, friends, and travelling. I'm an avid walker.
I have tried to eat low carb most of my life. Weight goes up and down, so guess that isn't the solution. Have wanted to eat intuitively and am very excited about ICMUT.
Looking forward to our shared journey. Love to give and get support.
Life is good.

Lorraine,
I'm a walker, too. Love my ipod.
I put on my pedometer when I wake up and try for 12,000 steps. Great motivator...wearing the pedom.
Off to check out that website....thanks.

I'm your average middle aged guy that like a lot of Americans is seriously overweight. I've tried every diet and while I've had some success I seem to always wind up back where I started (and more). My current goal is to reach my goal (or at least be heading towards it) before I reach the age of 45.

Check out the Fat2Fit group here on Traineo also. They have an excellent podcast with great info (I found them a few months ago when I actually was actually starting to thing a Gastric Bypass might be my only way out, but that was always a last resort for me. They have a podcast interview with a guy that had a Gastric Bypass and its very interesting to listen too). Anyway they talk about the Couch to 5K program and I've got it bookmarked (its the Cool Running website version of this, so I hadn't seen this specific one). This is definetly going to be a goal of mine (my ultimate goal is I want to be able to hike to the top of Pikes Peak before I turn 50. I'm 44 right now, so I'm giving myself plenty of time to get this weight off and get in condition to do this). I'll check out the Podcasts on this site though. That sounds great!

Ok, So I started Week 1- Day1 of the c25K program yesterday. I nver really thought Id be able to run, but I did and I wasn't dieing either. Today however my legs are pretty sore. Tommorrow, no matter how bad my thighs hurt I am doing day 2 on that program. Come July, I am going to be so ridiculously fit and slim. lol

I love the couch to 5k program! I just finished the program! I never thought of myself as a runner...but now I get cranky if I don't get to run!! One of the best motivators for me was to actually sign up for a 5K. It gave me something to train for and kept me motivated. Happy Running!!

I feel that exercise is a vital part to my getting healthy. I've been walking for a few years, it is my exercise of choice. Can't do the running anymore, but love the walking.
Glad to see others moving it, too. Mike, great goal to climb Pikes Peak.
I journal my minutes and wear my ped every day. Anyone else keep track of steps/mins?

Doing low carb and using Paul Mackenna's 4 rules...
1. Eat what you like
2. Eat when you are hungry
3. Eat Consciously...chew each bite 20X
4. Stop when you are full

I have started walking again...as the weather gets better here I will do it more. I really enjoy step aerobics classes but I am not up to that after an almost 2 year layoff so walking works for me and my dog Belle is very happy to come with!

i Slappy
I'm a slappy geek (IT Systems Analyst at work, Gadget lover at play) and ready to do something to change my state of slappiness...time to de-slappify myself.
Unfortunately, my love for all things tech is, by it's nature, a very sedentary lifestyle which has lead me down the path of being slappy (overweight/obese, in case you were curious). After having three different doctors strongly urge me to lose weight and a blood pressure reading of 190/110...this new path became an absolute must.
I've joined the Weight Watcher ranks and found it to be a great gateway to my 'lifestyle change'. It has been a tremendous help to reducing my calories, while helping get in my daily intake of fruits, vegetables, calcium, water, omega-3's, etc...
As for fitness, I have been using my eliptical trainer at home because running outdoors was a little harsh on my knees. This has helped to ease my hand off the TiVo remote and onto the home exercise equipment. I now watch digitally recorded shows while huffing and puffing. =P
I look forward to meeting new and interesting people on here and finding new 'thinspirations' and motivators.

@ Carol
I have a pedometer and used to tracked my steps religiously. I even had a log here on Traineo to track daily steps & aerobic steps. I haven't done this in quite some time though and now need to get a new battery for my ped to start again.
@ Lorraine
C25K is an awesome program, I started it back in the beginning of my journey, but found it too hard on my knees and shins when I was still close to 300lbs. I might revisit this program when I get down under 250lbs though.

Haven't done a damn thing since week 1, day 2. So pathetic. After Sundays show with Paul McKenna, (I watched it last night) I plan on using those finger squeezing strategies to get myself to be "not so lazy." Today is day 1. Wish me luck.
