Kathy, Kimmi & I are all going to be on PIP in 4 1/2 months (yikes - that's coming up fast!!!!) and have expressed an interest in this topic for encouragement and ideas.

For anyone who wishes to lose weight and/or tone up before ANY upcoming cruises, please join in!!!!

I can't quite bring myself to admit how much weight I want to lose, but it's enough that I have no time to waste. There are so many ways to do it, but the one that has always worked for me in the past is to count calories and exercise. Starting this past week I've been doing the Denise Austin workouts in the mornings (she has 2 back to back workouts on TV every weekday morning - 1/2 hour each). Then, after I get a little more in shape, I want to add in walking each day I can. Keeping the calories down is where it gets really tricky - especially during stressful times.

Need more ideas and tips!!! Help!!!
