[QUOTE="Martie, post: 112653, member: 284"] Chele, I comment on exercise in the thread started by JJJ. In addition to walking which is very good, I would get a set of weights. They do not cost much and are well worth it in my opinion. I had to start with three lb weights, switched to 5 and now I use 8 and 10. What free weights do is build muscle mass in the upper body which is a problem for most women, particularly after age 40. It is easier to keep the muscle mass you have than try to put it back (although it is possible.) In addition to improving posture (which makes anyone LOOK thinner) bigger shoulders and stronger arms tend to balance off the naturally pear shaped (which I am). All you need is two weights and a stable chair to do this. As far as motivation goes: if you exercise, you can eat more and still lose weight. If you do not exercise, you will either gain or be hungry all the time. I like to eat, so that is my motivation to keep exercising. Best to you, Martie [/QUOTE]
