One of the trainers said "you seem to be pretty comfortable at that speed. Why don't you increase a little bit so I did to 4.4 miles an hour." It felt comfortable cardio wise. I was able to talk with ease still my little legs had a hard time keeping up and then he said "why don't you try running"?? I haven't really ran since last november when I got so short of breath I just said "forget it". I started jogging, it was okay so I ended up increasing til it felt more comfortable at 4.8 miles an hour. I did this for about 15 minutes before I felt I needed to stop. I haven't ran like this in over 25 years. When I was done with the running/walking on the treadmill after 40 min I was soaked(hair was dripping). God I love to sweat!!!!

Hmmm, isn't that what is commonly referred to as the "RUNNERS RUSH"?  Somehow it makes runners feel some kind of innate 'high' from all that exertion! I'd never know...so I have to ask... Keep up the good work, Melody; I wondered what you were doing to lose all that weight so fast! Woohoo! Obviously it works!  Dusty

Sometimes the weight does not come off like you want it too. I know some will say so you lost 35 lbs in almost 4months that's a big achievement! I am steadily losing, though this week it is at a standstill. Yesterday I went to the gym and they took my measurements for a program I am participating in that started 6 weeks ago, well I've lost 9% of my body fat. I have noticed a bit of a difference in my clothes, have more energy. Exercise has always been hard for me even when I was thin, looking at my spark streaks I realized I have exercised consitantly at least 3x week(some weeks a lot more) for 9 weeks . I actually look forward to going to the gym these days!
Woohoo! I think I am doing it!
