Good morning,
I am new to this and after failing at multiple different attempts, I thought I had nothing to lose by trying this.
I am 37 (almost 38), from Ottawa and in need to get myself healthy / in shape. I am extremely good at motivating myself OUT of doing what I should do. I need a kick - start in the right direction.
I am really looking forward to getting to know people on here and helping each other on this bumpy road.
I hope to talk to y'all soon.
Thank you for listening / reading

Good morning! I'm new here myself and have the same fears as you. I've decided that time for no more excuses. I love the saying you can make excuses or you can get results but you can't do both! Good luck on your journey!

I am also new to this site! What I did is found a couple friends to join with me to keep me honest AND motivated. I am good at giving up quickly when I don't see results too. I think we have all come to the right place!0
