    Go for it Mandy, I was unwell for a while a few years ago too and it's what really motivated me to get myself fit and feeling good about myself, I wasn't unwell for as long as you have been but I was at the point of having to write my will.
    I'm now sat here with a serious leg injury, I always almost lost my leg in a bike accident in April but I've set up a mini gym on my patio because I can't get to the gym, what motivates you? Just sit on your own and try and focus on it, it helped me and I went on to lose 6 stones so 84 pounds, then I focused on the finer points of getting toned, come on you can do this...seriously,
