  • My story is similar. My first goal is 20 pounds. It's usually below 30 for months on end and the scale keeps going up with all this inside time.
  • You are off to a great start! Focus on filling your plate with fruits and veggies. Some find it helpful to eliminate dairy. I only have exercise-induced asthma, and I do better when my workouts are consistent. My husband has severe asthma. He walks, swims, and cycles. Start off slowly at the gym or on a track so that you…
