1. First Name:

2. Single/Married/Divorced:

3. Children:

4. Where do you live:

5. Favourite Non-Healthy Food/Favourite Healthy Food:

6. Favourite Exercise:

7. One question you have regarding "your journey" for everybody else in the group.


Copy and Paste the questions and fill-in the blanks. I will go first. I look forward to getting to know everybody a little better.

:love: :flowerforyou:
