Sherwood Park (or Edmonton), Alberta?
Appreciate the connections I've made thus far (6 days in) and the community support and would love to connect with some people closer to home for added support ... perhaps we can double efforts by excercising together. I've got a long journey and have been physically inactive for longer than I care to admit, so need to…

Help - Tracking Weight Training Program
I own a GPS controlled HRM, which won't assist in kcal counts if it can't be tracked by GPS. Wondering how you realistically log a program such as ChaLEAN Extreme - am beginning it next week and not interested in inputting each and every exercise. Any input appreciated ... thanks:)

5 days in & looking to connect
Hoping to connect with anyone who can offer advice & support as I begin my journey to a healthier lifestyle. I've been down this road before (10 years ago I lost 90lbs), but didn't do it for the right reasons & as to be expected, gained it all back plus more. I don't want to be skinny, my focus is on health & energy, and…
