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

As the advert says ‘every little helps!’ - what got me motivated was just to be moving is better than not bothering. So kind of you to say I have inspired you - thank you so much, and good luck on your active journey
