Yesterday I took a two and a half hour walk on the beach, and today I did my two hour walk/run. I try to go out two to three times a week.

I got so fat last year, IMO, that I quit drinking and made a determined effort to lose. Happy to say, after a year of diet and exercise, I am now back into my skinny clothes. The main way to succeed, again IMO, is to not expect results overnight. It took me a year to really change my slacking exercise habits and diet by being determined and committed. Plus, looking into the mirror when I was naked helped give me motivation! No fancy diet or scam can do it. One has to have personal desire to make a change and stick with it.

I completely agree with everything you said. There is no great secret or trick to weight loss. We all know how to do it. It's realizing that we are not entitled to eat all we want and still fit into our skinny jeans, it's the rare person who is naturally slim, and eating healthy is not a punishment.

If we want to like how we look naked or clothed we have to do what it takes to get there and stick to it.

BTW, I'm so jealous you go to walk on the beach! It's only in the 30's today in the Chicago area. I'm sooooo sick of winter.
