Hi,
I signed up a few weeks ago but only completed my profile and started using the sites tools today.
The site was recommended by a fried when I got my first ever smart phone about 4 weeks ago and certainly seems to be working for her and other friends, so what do I have to lose?
For years I have focused on my weight but now is the time to change that focus to my health & fitness, having watched my Dad suffer a heart attack, have a triple bypass and then his recovery from that. He has doe remarkably well, changing may things about his lifestyle without complaint. the result is a slimline, fitter version of my dad who gets a little stronger every day... a real inspiration.
My Dr has also warned me that as arthritis runs in the family, and because I am a natural pear shape, I am very likely to get arthritis in my hips (it is already starting in my hands) but rather than recommend weight loss he advised me to strengthen my musculature to better support my hips.
With these things in mind I begin a different journey to the one I have started so many times before and hope that by travellig down a road less familiar I will be more motivated to see where it leads me.
Good luck on your journey too
