Debbie glad to hear you are coming out of the FUNK and getting out, being more physically active ! Being engaged and active takes your thoughts off food. Being sedentary is no good for your health or your waistline. Yes, it is AMAZING, that burning more calories from being active than you take in is the key to losing weight ! It is a simple formula which many on FS contribute to any way of eating. This is going to be your year !
