Hi all,

I'm a newbie to the boards and am learning every day. I think this area of the boards will be my favorite.

Today, I went to check out Curves exercise program only to find that I am so out of shape I don't think I can do the machines.

Back when I was in my teens I was very active - I guess all these years in a desk job have pretty much ruined my muscles.

I have been walking a slow mile 4 days a week which is huge amount movement for me. Some days I feel like I can go a little further and do - other days I bearly have the energy to get the 1 mile in.

I think this is a great support forum and I am going to try really hard not to dwell on the fact that I'm so out of shape. I keep eating the LC way, walking slowly - surely good things will come?
