in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone. My name is Greg. I was recently admitted to the hospital due to possible heart attack. Turns out, it wasn't but I did find out I have other issues...high blood pressure, cholosterol, sleep apnia and STRESS!! This was my wakeup call!. My goal is to lose 30-40 lbs, de-stress myself and start eating healthier. I turned 50 last year and realized I actually have a bucket list!

That being said, is there anyone interested in teaming up for motivational support in the New Jersey area, heck, any area for that matter as I have a little trouble doing this on my own.

Thanks for reading my post and best of luck to reaching your goals.

    Hi Greg,

    My name is Glenn. I live in England but always able to provide help and support.

    The 1st and most important thing to do is to address what you are eating and see what you can reduce and replace with a healthier alternative.

    Log your food for a couple of days on here. i found it helped so much. to literally see what you are eating can be a wake up call.

    Once you have started to tinker with your lifestyle change add some light exercise to begin with. a walk round the block or to the shop and back every day rather than driving. maybe even a push bike to increase the heart rate and exercise level slightly.

    If you have any questions feel free to ask and add me if you like

    You Can Do This.

    Best of luck on your journey :-)
