SHE CAN DO IT!

Sunday, 04 March 2012

I just love receiving an e-mail from someone filled with

determination. In fact, I read one yesterday that I

must share with you. I want to you read what she

said, then share a few thoughts on how good this

wonderful lady made me feel as I read her e-mail.

My arthritis doctor

said that my excess weight was only making the

problems with my arthritis worse.

Hi ! Once again, I'm going to try and lose

weight. My arthritis doctor was very kind during my

last appointment. But he said some things that

really got me thinking. He said that my excess

weight was only making the problems with my

arthritis worse and stressed how important losing

weight was for my health.

He told me not to set unrealistic goals and to

start out slowly. He pointed out that cutting back

on the calories I consume each day was the most

important thing for me to do first. So I pulled out

my FoodMover which, I should tell you, had been

collecting dust in one of my closets. But not

anymore! I read the instructions manual and figured

out how many calories I should start with. I was

surprised at how simple your FoodMover was to

follow. Plus, the motivational windows on the

FoodMover are a big help and are really keeping me

motivated.

, I'm a lady in my mid-50's and weigh a

little under 250 pounds. My doctor gave me a

much-needed wake-up call about my weight. I've

decided that I'm going to get this weight off my

arthritic bones so I can feel better and do more.

Wish me luck!

I'm glad to see this newly

determined lady has such a smart doctor.

Well, you know I wish her a lot of luck! I'm

glad to see this newly determined lady has such a

smart doctor, too. (Hey, he sounds kinda like me!)

See, I've been telling you for years that those added

pounds only put more stress on your bones, joints and

muscles. That's why her doctor is so right about the

importance of losing this weight, especially with her

arthritis!

Now, what I wish most of all is that she

keeps her great I

can do it attitude

locked in her mind. I know the arthritis

probably makes exercise tough right now but she should

also speak to her doctor about adding a safe exercise

routine to cutting back on those calories. Because as

you all know, losing weight is a "1-2-3" punch!

Losing weight is a "1-2-3"

punch!

Cut back on the food and get your

calorie-consumption under control! (Punch 1.) Make

exercise a daily part of your life. (Punch

2.) Keep

that attitude of yours strong and positive.

(Punch 3!) And hey, it sounds like this new friend of

mine is ready to start making those punches...everyday.

And with that

said, when it comes to reaching her

weight-loss goal, all that's left for me to say is...

SHE CAN DO IT!

Love,
