    Hi I'm Jane. I'm 45 and didn't worry about weight until I looked up requirements to do a scuba course. Then I realised I needed physical fitness, a bmi less than 30 and asthma to be under control. Bmi is the fail point at the moment though only just.
    Goals are to get to a healthy weight, would like to lose about three stone ( not just the 8 pounds to hit the 30 bmi). Improve my swimming and tennis, I have my first group swim lesson tonight. Plus book on the dive course maybe this summer.
    Also it may be a dream rather than goal but would like my asthma to be at point where I don't need regular reviews anymore. I'm now at the point where I haven't needed meds for it for 18 months and my peak flow is best it's ever been ( think steam baths, swimming and limiting processed foods have helped big time)

    Hi, Jane! Would love to hear all about your scuba experience - it is on my bucket list once I don't look like a beached whale in a wet suit! :smiley: It is exciting to hear that you have come so far with your asthma in 18 months and I have faith that as you progress you will see even more improvements!

    Keep up the good work & look forward to hearing more as your journey progresses!

    Wow ! What a lost in a week ! Good job.

    It's great to have you here, you have a great plan I like it !
    Don't get discouraged if the loss slows down a little, it would be normal.

    I hope to hear more from you and best of luck !

    Hi, I'm Nicole ( older sister to Kris) and I'm 28 yrs. old and 5'4" tall. I know my goal is to get down to 115 lbs. but is more that I want to get healthy so if I don't reach that goal I'll still be happy that I can do the things I want to do. I'm a mother, daughter, sister, and student. I have to beautiful little girls who are one of my many reasons for getting into shape. Both my sister (Kris) and my mom (Shanda) told me about this group and let me know how good its been working for them. As far as working out goes I've been walking around my yard more (11 times around the whole yard is a mile) and have gotten up to two miles to far. I've also started doing Zumba fitness in the mornings with my mom along with Wii fit. I really look forward to sharing this journey with all of you and helping you along with yours as well.

    Chattooga river, separates the State of South Carolina from Georgia.
    This was also the river the movie Deliverance was filmed at.
