running/walking off pounds?

[Lorix2]

Hi, thought I'd skip over here to get some insight and motivation.

I just started this 2 weeks ago, doing a mile to mile an 1/4 with my kids. I'm definitely feeling "lighter", but haven't started to drop any weight really.

I'm 5' 5" and weigh about 138. My legs and arms are toned, but I have a belly and my hips are wider than they used to be. My weight was always a firm 118 to 120 and I think that's where I should be? I dunno...

So have any of you walked/jogged off the pounds? How much in what time frame?

I'd love to hear you're experiences!

I know what you mean about the weight gain in the stomache. I am 5'7" and always weighed around 132-135 lbs. Now, I am at 146 and hating it. Others don't see it, because it's not in my arms or legs. I do work out but need to watch the food, but mainly the alcohol. I've gotten in the habit of two glasses of wine/beer a night and I think that's why I'm putting it on the gut.

I don't think a mile a day is enough however. I do at least 2.5 to 3, although I haven't been consistent this summer. I'm going to start doing the Firm today.

I think you are going to need more than a mile a day. I've never lost weight with exercise alone, I've always had to do something about my eating habits too.

I am 5'10.5 and I weigh 187 now. I have 3 kids ages 4, 3, and 10 months. Dh works 80 hours a week and I am a stay at home mom. Getting out the take a walk with 3 kids is hard. So when they go to bed at 8:00p.m. I pop in Walk away the pounds. It is great I walk right inside my house. I love it. The kids sometimes do it with me if I do it while they are awake. I have the 2 mile (30 min) workout and the 4 mile (45 min with 15 min strengh trainning). The 4 mile has some jogging in it also. They are great.
