in Introduce Yourself
Hi Everyone.
Time to get serious about dropping pounds. I have never stuck to a program or diet for long and the weight is creeping up. I am 5'9 and 234 lbs. I have had serious life changes in the last year. Lost my husband after 30 yrs (I am 50), and now my job of 20 years is dissolving in about 6 months. That means interviewing for a job after all these years. I have noticed my energy level dropped and it is hard to feel good about my appearance. I know it didn't happen over night but I guess I just looked in the mirror and a light bub went on. I am new to the site and read your posts. They re very insightful and encouraging. You have to know you are not alone. Looking forward to posting to you all. GOOD LUCK !

    Welcome Moya.

    My heart goes out to you. Ive been through the same type of thing as you over the past few years.

    Lost a child, parents broke up and lost my job. It feels as life is out to get you at times.

    Im now 3 weeks into my new life, and getting back on track is the best thing ive done in years.

    Head up, love yourself and keep moving. Eventually things do get better.

    hello all now this is such a problem to most they just cant seem to do it

    .... why is it so hard

    there are 3 part you need to understand when trying to be fit. 1) Training 2) Nutrition 3) Mentality

    without all 3 you wont be able to succeed for all those who have trouble send a post

    my Adrian a personal trainer and if you like i can guide you through until you reach that goal this summer is going to be a big difference
    if u want i can provide you with a great program which will leave you amazed and happy afterwards if you can look yourself in the mirror and decide you want to change then i will make that happen
    lets get fit for summer
