A. For exercise I walked...started out a little at a time and walked everyday...this is going to sound so silly to you but I am a person who likes to set goals and meet them. SO I picked out a place I wanted to go( it was New Orleans) I found out miles from where i was to there and i charted the distance I walked until I "walked" to New Orleans, once there I picked a place( Denver, Co) and again walked to Denver. When I first started walking it was a 1/2 mile at a time BUT before I knew it it was a mile, two miles etc. It encourage me to "keep walking". Now I have a lot of health problems that aren't associated to my weight BUT I still try to make sure I walk...hey if interested maybe we could pick a place and both "walk" there...it would encourage me to walk daily also! Jay I wish you the best of luck and again contact me if you wish.

A. Cristine, you must get out and do something just for you. something that you may have always wanted to do but never got around to it. It's not too late to do some of the things you loved as a teenager. I was in a similar state in my thirties and on advice of my doctor signed up for adult-tap dance lessons at a local community college. I had so much fun and it picked up my spirits so that I looked forward each week to going. I kept it up for 3 years at which point I'd gone as far as I could go. I then decided to take art classes, another long lost desire. If you like to sing investigate local choirs or as I did Sweet Adelines, a women's Barbershop Organization which was my real salvation. I travelled to competitions with them, learned so much about singing, harmonizing and performing. It is a great hobby and the wonderful friends I made helped me through many difficult times.
You do not have to be an excellent singer as long as you can carry a tune they will find a place for you
