    Worked out to a with Shaun T dance video today, looked a little like a drunken cow but got in a good workout & it was mostly fun. Struggling to rein in those calories

    I was just about to pop in a dance workout! I will either use Shaun T or TheFirm - Alison Davis-McLain. Still debating. And while I'm debating I'm procrastinating.

    Share fitness advice? People who's bodies have been exposed the longest to modern conditions of life may need to come to grips with issues that younger ones haven't yet considered. I'm learning as I go, so I don't have all the answers (or questions), but some things have become clear to me...

    My most cogent thoughts are here:

    Hi there! I am a 58 year old over weight woman, who needs a helping hand and encouragement to try and get healthier and to lose about 50 to 80 lbs. I am just not motivated at all...because I have lower back issue...plus I had a knee replacement. So there is limitations when it comes to going on the floor to do exercise. But I am willing to do standing up or in a chair....I am a breast cancer survivor and now with the new studies, over weight is one of the cause's for breast cancer....which I hear it from my cancer Dr every year. I would love to see him next years at least 25 to 30 lbs light.....Thanks

    I am on my phone, so I can tell you how I do it. Tap on the person's username - their profile will come up. Tap on their username again and there will be a diary icon and a friend icon (two people, head and shoulders). Tap on the friend icon and a message draft will come up. Type in your username and a message (optional) and tap send.

    I am sorry you are having such an uphill battle with your body. You have come to the right place. Motivation starts with you, but being here means you'be already decided to make a positive change in your life.

    Losing wt is 80% diet changes and 20% exercise, so don't hurt yourself exercising - just walk and try simple bending and stretching movements until the wt starts coming off....then you can start adding more exercises.

    To add friends - Click on the user's name in the left sidebar. That will open a window with the user's photo. Click on the name again. Another window will open. You will see a button that says "Add as Friend". Click on that button and your request will be sent. You can also send a message with the request.

    Please add me as a friend if you would like.
