Starting a new challenge - 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…

I was diagnosed with ADHD last year at 35 and have learned a lot about my relationship with food and exercise and how ADHD plays a role.…

Old but New
I've been on this app before many years ago, before I would just do this on my own but obviously would not stay motivated enough to achieve the goal that I wanted.

I'll be your cheerleader!
Hey! I've been on and off the fitness train more times than I care to admit. My biggest struggle is retaining motivation due to the fact that I despise traditional style fitness (i.e: going to the gym). I find that I am most engaged with exercises that don't make me feel like I'm exercising (manual labor, dancing, yoga…

These photos are 10 years apart, but I dropped nearly all the weight since last summer by: 1. Eating healthy & eating less, added fruits and vegetables to my diet, eating less red meat, carbs, and fried food. Stopped going back for seconds and thirds. 2. Daily exercise, 45 min on the elliptical or stationary bike, plus…
