Who we are and why we are here:

'He' started out at 450 lbs. 'She' started out at 300 lbs (although had been as high as 330 lbs at one point). Between them they've lost weight, gained weight, and learned a lot along the way.

What you'll find here are our educated thoughts, opinions, and tips for a healthier lifestyle. 'He' minored in psychology, 'she' majored in history - two research heavy fields that have made them both skeptical and able to weed through the sludge in order to find gems. Neither of us is perfect by any means, but as much as possible, we will try not to lead you astray with unfounded, sensational, or fad information.

We are intentionally avoiding fad diets, expensive meal plans, and other extreme (expensive!) weight loss plans.

Seasons

This is one of my favourite times of year... now that I'm a "walker" that is.  I have found that nearly the entire day is perfect for walking in the early spring and again in early fall or whatever you would call this week.  I wouldn't pick 4 in the afternoon when it's about 80, but from early morning as the sun rises (pick your timing and watch the sun rise as you walk!  GORGEOUS!) until noon and again from after work hours until sunset (which is also lovely to watch as you walk...more clouds this time of year to create quite the show most evenings) are just right, temperature-wise.

It is my opinion that if you want to start a new exercise routine, you pick now.  There is really no excuse.  It's not hot and sweaty.  You can't possibly get too cold if you walk fast enough.  Get in the habit before you have to start wearing snow boots and bundling up.  If you start now, by the time the weather gets that cold, you'll already feel that you <i>need</i> your daily walk.
