Hello all, I am Teresa (61 yo) I am looking forward to getting in the best healthiest shape this year. I have had some serious medical conditions which took me down a dark road of distractions and now I am ready to get this party started! I love dancing, music,camping and outdoor activities, but find myself sitting indoors and looking out the window not actually going outside. Colorado has perfect weather most days and I live near a park and walking trails. Yet, fear, shame,guilt keep me inside looking out. My goal is to get more on track with healthy eating, weight loss and better self-esteem and confidence. I look forward to overcoming fear of being alone and walking on my own. I am no longer constricted by physical ailments and restrictions so I know I can do this!! Cheers

    Hello Teresa. You sound like a very personable being. Perhaps you can look up senior activities in your area and find people who would like to go on walks with you. On the flip side, I'd be happy to get out into nature on my own. Sadly I'm not very mobile. I know you can also do this. Your optimism is contagious.

    I too live in Colorado and just signed up again today. Lots of weight to lose, but love being in the outdoors, hiking and biking.

    It is hard to get outside and motivate yourself. I get it. My name is Jamie

    I have started a spiral. Trying to get myself to get healthier and off emotional eating. I have the I don't feel full when eating. Totally struggling with it.

    Staying motivated when you are struggling with health issues is hard. Especially when you notice how much you need the help to get out of the house.

    The encouragement and aches of muscles you can do it! It's hard but no one knows you but you. Your health is worth it.

    I am going to get myself to move around and try two nights of exercise this weekend. I know you can take the journey with me.
