Take a peek at Heidi’s story in Nicole Yorio’s article “Turn Up the Tunes and Lose 35 Pounds” at Redbook.

“I weighed more than my 6-foot husband!”A few months after I turned 49, I stepped on the scale and saw that I had reached an all-time high of 190 pounds. That meant that I was heavier than my 6-foot-tall, 188-pound husband. And I was also feeling the physical effects: I couldn’t cross my legs, my clothing dug into me, I felt sweaty all the time. I thought, If I can’t get my act together by 50, then I never will. I can either fix myself or accept my body. I chose to fix it.”

“TAKE IT SLOW. I told myself that it took me 18 years to put on 35 pounds, so I couldn’t expect to take the weight off in a month. This had to be a real lifestyle change, not a crash diet.”

This sounds so familiar, I can’t remember where I’ve heard this before? Oh, it must be those pesky voices in my head again. Quiet back in your cage!

They keep saying the same thing – one step at a time. Must be the new exercise mantra. Take it slow. UMMM. Take it slow. UMMM. One step at a time. UMMM. Help, I’m stuck in the lotus position.stuck in lotus

I’ve seen Heidi on TV and she seems like an incredible woman with a great story. Take a look at her site: skinnysongs.com
