    Welcome! You come to the right place to start making changes. Lots of people here to help support and encourage each other. As a starting point I would check through the forums and find someone who you like what they say and then "friend" them. It may take a bit to build your network, but it is well worth it!

    I agree and target cardiovascular and metabolic health from a physical perspective. I get to expand a bit into my head and heart while riding my bike, or should I say, vigorously exercising getting my heart rate up to what's recommended for me for at least 25 of my 50 minute ride. My blood pressure, resting heart rate, cholesterol/triglycerdies are all heading in the right direction. Get a bike, climb on it and ride! Great Health to you!

    Hi, I'm in the same boat - 74kg and starting to feel quite unhealthy. I would really appreciate same friends to help with motivation, because I know it wont be easy to do this. My main fear is that i'll start binge eating if I get too hungry and then it's really hard to come back. Been there, done that!

    I am a female over 50 as well. I understand your fear, however you have already taken a big step towards being healthier and that tells me that you are ready for a change. I believe that to be true with me as well. Best of luck to you, I will be here with you too.

    Hello. Turning 50 in about 2 weeks and I can't believe it. Mentally, I feel about 35. I have been at this for about 6 months, but I have had my ups and downs. More ups than downs actually. But I keep coming back to this site, determined to stick with it. The support is nice. I find myself logging in just to see what everyone else is up to and they make it encouraging to get back on track. Add me as a freind if you would like.
