Hi, not sure where to start. I purchased the Easy Does it video this Spring, tried it a few days but just had a hard time staying with it. For once in my life I want to succeed in just doing this for me. My whole life I have been out of proportion with my height, if I was only 10 feet tall. Just been reading all of the entries from everyone else. I have a great deal of weight to lose over 100 lbs. but I plan on taking it just one day at a time. I just wanted to let you know I did do all of video one this morning and I am going to make a committment to do it every morning. It's all about that first step. Thanks for listening. All of you are great.

Hi Donna...welcome to Oxycise!!
It sounds like you have the right attitude. I always find it best to take things one day at a time. I also set small goals for myself so I can be encouraged as I achieve them. I wish you well and encourage you to join us posting in the D2L (determined to lose) O!Pals thread each day. It's a great group that really encourages each other!

Hey, Donna! Welcome to the club.

You're right, it's all about that first step. You've taken it and now it's in your hands...or rather lungs. I know what you mean about not sticking to it. I first started O! back in July 1998, and I did it everyday back then. It wasn't so hard finding time because my three kids were in school, so my mornings were my own. Then I got pregnant in 1999 and had a difficult time with the pregnancy. I did O! off and on during the pregnancy and I stayed in excellent shape. The people on this forum (well...it was the old one then) are great and they helped keep me motivated and encouraged, even when I "fell off the O! wagon". But then, we moved to a new house, and didn't have a telephone, so no internet...no support and encouragement...which led to me not O!ing. That went on for two years. Plus, I just recently had another terribly difficult pregnancy, to boot (and a gorgeous little girl to show for it) NOW, I'm back! And I am so thrilled to find that this new O! board is just a supportive and wonderful as the old one!

You've definately come to the right place, Donna. Here we all are giving you smiles of encouragement:

Take care everyone, and KEEP BREATHIN'!
