in Motivation and Support
My name is Michelle and I'm 36. I have been struggling with staying active. I start walking and going to the gym and then before I know it I'm right back to doing nothing. This time I've been at it for a couple weeks and I feel great. I need to lose 30 lbs to be at a healthy weight for my age/height. I am at risk for diabetes as I'm insulin resistant. I plan on keeping track of carbs/sugar this time. I need friends that can encourage and motivate me and I will do the same for you. I am committing myself whole-heartedly.

    I have the same problem starting out great then falling off the wagon. I'm basically counting calories but leaving sugar out completely. I plan to do walking dvds at home because I live far out but on a relatively busy road. What should be our daily goal, say 30 to 60 minutes a day? I'm open and willing to help.

    I've been there too in fact I'm just getting back on track again after gaining 13 lbs. this is definitely a lifestyle change and a journey and I truly believe the only way we can do it is with constant support and encouragement which some of us do at always get from those closest to us which is why I love this app so much! Let me know how I can support you.
