well it seems to be working!

After a trip to hospital over Christmas I looked up why I’d ended up needing meds and the two commonest reasons were over 50 and overweight . Well not a lot I can do about my age, but desk bound jobs and menopause have taken their toll so I knew I needed to do something! Luckily I found the app and after a shaky start I realised that to meet guidelines for being classed as active that meant 22 mins a day. That in reality isn’t much but it felt it was initially, but now 8 weeks later I’m usually at 60 minutes a day and incredibly managing to get my 10000 steps in a day. This snd the calorie count app have meant both weight loss and even better I’m beginning to like my body again. It’s not going to be a quick fix but I’m ok with that, I’m just so grateful to this app to make me accountable without having to tell people what I’m doing
