Hey there everyone. My name is Amy and I have 10 1/2 month old son. I am 4'11'' and weigh 138.5. I have never been overweight until the baby came. I bought the book and I am gonna give this a go!! I have been reading meassages and everyone seems real supportive. I am excited about trying this out, and getting know a few people along the way.

I feel my best around 107 to 110 b/c I am so short. I have always been athletic. I have a new treadmill and my goal is walk to 10,000. steps each morning on the treadmill. I am at about 7500 steps now.

Does the treadmill give you a distance of how far you cover in those 7500 steps? How many miles for example?

Re: I am a newbie

I walk about 2 1/2 miles. I am trying to work up to walking faster and at a harder incline. My pace is at 3.5 and my incline is at 4.5. I have the ab lounge, that has been helping alot. I think I am really bothered by my double chin. I lost 40 lbs after I had him. The double chin isn't to bad until I smile.

And you see your double chin everytime you look in the mirror. I understand where you are coming from completely.

How long did you stay on induction? I think I can handle it for about 2 months.

Re: I am a newbie

If I were you I would see how quickly you lose the weight, you may need to go onto OWL quicker than 2 months.
