Introducing Myself
Hi I am Bill, I am 46 and here to get into better health with good nutrition and exercise. Also I am recovering from a recent shoulder surgery so I am a bit limited in the exercise part. I can walk ride a stationary bike. But for now that is all I am able to do. Any good feed back anyone had is welcome.

Starting a new journey - Couch to Marathon
In 2013, I lost my wife aged just 21 to Ovarian Cancer. She was a professional footballer, and we were both in great shape. That year I ran the Great Manchester Run - 10k without any specific training. Fast forward 9 years, and life has hit me in the midriff. Working to provide for our 2 children meant things like…

Trying this again
Hi all! I'm going to attempt this weight losing journey once again. I feel like it's almost useless for me to even try. I don't eat because I'm hungry, I eat because I'm bored. Even though I have a ton of things to do, I can't seem to stop picking. If it's there...I eat it. Any suggestions how to overview this? I hope…

Hello! Feel free to call me Jazz. I'm 25 and have a goal of getting to 130-135 lbs. This goal is flexible because it depends on how I feel and look in my clothes.
