Heavens to betsy girl..and hour of any kind of exercise of any kind is good..Don't ever be ashamed of that..Your doing a fantastic job and don't let what others do make you feel bad.. WE ALL HAVE TO GO AT OUR OWN PACE..Now be proud of that..Have a great day sweetie....Bren  

Bren - thanks for that! 

What do you mean "ashamed to report" an hour of exercise? I'm proud that you were able to fit that much in. You're doing great and you should never compare your achievments against someone else.  

Buffy....We all have the same things to do to reach our goal weight and maintain it but our lives are all so different and some can do more and some less but with that said I believe you are doing terrific!!!! Chin up... let's continue by feeling good about ourselves because we are so worth the effort and are fabulous F.S. friends who understand one for all and all for one no matter if we have to maintain or lose lots of weight!!!! TOWANDA!!!!!!  

Davidsmom & Lisa - you are right - I do tend to compare myself to others and promise to stop that.  

Goodness gracious, BuffyBear, every minute of exercise counts! There will always be those who do more than we do but there will always be a HUGE number of people who are out there doing absolutely nothing and who haven't even begun to change their lives. I understand your feelings, as I also battle with those same feelings from time to time. But, we have made tremendous strides in forging our own paths and have every right to be proud of every minute of exercise and every ounce lost! Record it all! So there! 

If there are folks out there that would look down on you for an hour of exercise don't know that I would want them on my buddies list 

Sandy - I appreciate that (especially coming from the Walking Queen) . 

Buffy - do you have any idea how the rest of us see you? You are a loving, kind, beautiful woman - who is caring enough about herself to commit to exercising for an hour... and you think this is somehow something to be ashamed of??? You are loved, and respected for who you are. Not in comparison to anyone else. So nip that negative nellie in the butt - and ONWARD my friend! We have a life to live!!! Much Love! 

BUFFY!!! You rock, my sweet friend!!! Please don't compare yourself to others, as when God made you, he made you to be the only you there is, and that is a special, awesome, sweet, kind, lovely lady, that is admired and loved by many! HUGS! 

Oh and I don't even record my exercise here anymore...I just track calories and steps with my fitbit...any other exercise is icing on the cake, and if I don't do anything but walk, then I have just the cake, and am satisfied! lol 

Paula and Stef - You are too sweet. Thank you for the encouragement.  

Karen - Today I do not feel like anyone is looking down on me. I love my Buddies!  

Have you gone LOCO Lady??!!!! You did 1 hour of exercise and that is somehow not enough??? My lazy butt can't even think about exercise for an hour much less do it. LOL  

All I can say is way to go girl, awesome! In my book an hour is a LOT. Plus, you are really just starting & on top of that, isn't it like a million degrees over there? I hope you didn't over do, (& don't forget lots of water)? You have such a wonderful personality & I really value your input. I don't think you should ever feel ashamed of anything! Gee, Buffy did you know that I usually only do 30-50 min at a crack? You are a winner in my book! 

E - you walked in the rain yesterday so don't tell me you don't exercise! 

GG-Girl - you go 50 min at a time on a bum foot! But thank you - it will be Baby Steps for me and I realize there is no shame in that because that is how we all learned to walk. 

Buffy, never feel ashamed of yourself! As you've often told me that word shouldn't be in your vocabulary. Over an hour of exercising is fabulous! Looking at what others are accomplishing can be very inspiring. But comparing your performance to others and finding yourself wanting is not productive. Literally everyone exercises more than I do, and it is frustrating at times. Definitely, you should stay with the feel good about yourself attitude! You are an inspiration to others also! HUGS!!! 

Morning Buffy, hope you got a lot from all the above comments..Can't you tell we are soooooo proud of you??? WE love ya girl...have a great Friday.... {{{Hugs}}}}......Bren
