I had suggested in an earlier post to walk in a Menards, Lowes, or Home Depot. I realize not everyone has those stores where they live. One place most towns have is a grocery store. A person can walk there with a cart for assistance. Using the cart will give you a degree of support for your knees as well as your ankles depending on how you lean on the cart. Walk the perimeter of the store pushing your cart...one time, two times, etc. Whatever is your comfort level to start out. Take your pedometer with you so you can document your progress when you get home.
As it starts to get easier and you build your confidence and stamina, add some weight to your cart. I suggest packages of dog food since the weight is on the package. The one thing nice about dog food, they come in packages ranging from 4 pounds up to 50. Putting them in the cart and back on the shelf when your done walking will also help build your arms.
Since everyone's physic is different, you have to rely on what feels comfortable for you. We are all use to pushing a grocery cart. Using it as a weight loss tool gives it a dual purpose. I can't stress enough, to document your walks when you get home. It's nice to see your progress in black and white.
There are still 180 days left to in this year to get on the weight loss bandwagon.

Weight Loss Center---Non-Profit
I've been in lots of different weight loss programs during my life. I was going through a drawer and came across a calendar from TOPS. (Taking Off Pounds Sensibly) I remembered it was very inexpensive to join and attend these meetings.
I checked out the Tops Weight Loss site and see it still only costs $24.00 to join for an entire year. They have an online plan as well, it's cost is $25.50 for the year.
Finding this booklet sure has brought back memories for me. My office cleaning lady ask me if I'd be interested in joining the group with her. We not only lost weight but made so good friends as well.
People were so friendly and the motivation was so amazing. When someone didn't come for a few weeks, we'd send a postcard and let them know we missed them. It was a real caring group.
I had to sit and think why I quit going. I remembered, I took on a second job and had to work when the group met. Eventually, I got a promotion and moved away from the area. By then, I had lost weight and was down to a healthy weight.
This site is packed with tons of information. They even have a 28 day menu available for a 1500 calorie diet.
Perhaps there is a Tops weight loss center in your area. It would be worth checking out. They have a locator button on their website so you can see if there is a group near you.
If nothing else.....check out the monthly diet chart. So many ideas for meals. Losing weight at a minimal cost....what more can a person ask for!!!

Eating Healthy ...It All Looks So Good
All the fruits and vegetables look so appetizing in this picture. Every week when I buy groceries, I always load up on all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables. They look so good in the produce department. My problem is, I tend to leave them in the crisper drawers or they get pushed to the back of the refrigerator. They don't see the light of day again until I clean out the refrigerator and toss the spoiled stuff out.I've cut down on my candy and chip intake but still have a hard time increasing fresh vegetables and fruit. I'm losing weight slowly but I know if I would eat the fresh produce, I'd be a lot healthier.
The last time I tried to give blood, I was rejected. They told me I had low iron and that I was anemic. That sure suprised me. I was embarrassed when I left, wondering what the other people thought that were waiting to give blood. I'm sure they never for a minute thought a person my size would be rejected for being anemic.
I bought some women's One-a-day vitamins that day. I haven't tried to give blood since my last rejection. I'll try again in a couple of months.
I've hung an article on my refrigerator called: Fruits and Vegetables: Eating Your Way to 5 A Day to remind me to grab a bunch of grapes or a plum and forget eating leftovers when I want a snack.
Forty-two percent of the the American population eats less than two servings a day of fruit and vegetables. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans is five to nine servings in a day. We have a LONG way to go!!!
