Fitness friends needed

So here's the thing. I'm 32 and live in Devon surrounded by the beautifull outdoors but I'm too out of shape to enjoy it.

I want to get into reasonable shape and need to lose about 20kg. It's going to be a hard and long road and I'd really appreciate some people to encourage me along the way.

If you have a spare 5 minutes every now and again please feel free to message me something encouraging or supportive and better yet, add me as a friend.

Thanks

    Hey there! You are not alone my friend. Just remember, if it were easy, everyone would do it.

    I am right there with you! Well, except that it is freezing here in Missouri. I need to exercise too and I miss the outdoors. I am going to walk for about ten minutes and see if I can stand the cold. What is your goal for the day?

    My goal for today is not to eat too much but tomorrow is the biggie as I am going back to the gym for the first time in years.

    Hope the gym went well. It can be terrifying to return, so it's not an easy goal!

    I think exercise needs to go with the calorie control but when you are obese, unfit and have joint problems, it’s hard. Since being immobile I have put on weight, I need motivation to get back into walking. I am in the UK and the weather hasn’t been good, roll on warmer weather.
