Not exactly new, returning after a long break
Hi all, I was a member about six years ago, then dropped out, used another plan, broke my leg, and now I'm back. I'm actually a little less than I was back then, but still not where I want and need to be. Looking forward to sharing the journey.

need exercise app (android) that calculates your speed
Hope the topic line makes sense - looking for an APP that will tell you to walk faster or jog now because it is able to calculate that you are going too slowly. Or is there some other kind of tool (speedometer type) that can do this?basically, when i walk outside (not in the gym) i tend to slow down because i don't have…

Hi - New here!

I know that no matter how wonderful a "tool" is (meetings, books, online community), I know that it's up to me in the end. But I am tired of how i look and how i feel. I am tired of not being able to do things I want to…
