Wow Janet, 11 lbs is a lot! Good luck!
I am walking at least 30 minutes at a day on my treadmill now. My cousin is also trying to work out so we're encouraging each other. She does hers at lunch, I do mine after work! I am feeling better already, after just a couple of days. I think it makes such a difference with me because I sit ALL DAY at work. Then I would usually go home and sit all evening in front of the tv
That's so bad for a person. So even just the little bit of exercise I'm doing I think is making a huge difference in my energy and even in my mind and feeling a little better about myself.
I started using Noom on my tablet. It gives me 4 tasks per day - reading an article, logging my lunch, logging exercise, and something else - usually some sort of challenge (yesterday was don't eat in front of the computer or tv... oops, I read that after I had already had lunch in front of the computer and supper in front of the tv - I failed!)
I know eating more healthy foods is a big step but I haven't really done it yet... but like I told Scott last night, eating a handful of chips after exercise is still better than eating a handful of chips after sitting on the couch all night lol!
Oh I used to also use FitDay.com - same basic idea, you log your meals and snacks and exercise online for free. They had almost any food you could think of in their database! You would just choose the type of food, brand name, and which variety you ate! It counted your daily calories for you.
