    I am on a fresh start now too.... Lost 38 lbs last summer and then in Jan was diagnosed with CLL. Gained all but 10 lbs back with orders from my doctor to get down to my ideal weight without going under. So I am in.

    Just started my "fresh start" yesterday. I had lost 50 pounds 4 years ago and kept it off for two. Then with a new job and needing to get up at 5:30,I stopped exercising. I slowly put the weight back on. Depressing really! I started walking the track after work yesterday and today. Hoping to lose the 50 again, and get healthy by exercising. My mantra: One pound a week is 50 in a year!

    I really understand. It's when change to routine happens that it throws us off course and before you know it you've lost your good routines. Well done for just getting out there and walking last two days.
    Little steps and we will shift the mountain:))

    Trying to get on with exercise but procrastinating hugely. Zen habits website is good for advice on procrastination of any type: . "The only way around that is to 1. find your motivation, and 2. start as easy as possible." So I'm off to write a list of my motivations and then just start. Anyone else out there struggling? ... you are not alone:)) :# grit teeth and dig in:)

    I need a fresh start. I used to exercise 3-4 times a week until I fell ill & slowly reduced my type & length of exercises due to pain. Took a while to get a diagnosis & in this time my weight has suffered. Have 4 bulging discs which are pushing 3 ribs out of place, osteoarthritis & fybro myalgia. Now have 25lb to loose without causing more pain or fatigue.

    Besides physio, I'm doing Pilates, gentle swimming & just started low impact on cross trainer.

    Now need some inspiration on healthy meals.
