Did the 6 minute walk...not as good as last one as was 40 meters slower,...guess not surprising,with added weight.Just so disappointed as have done everything regardless,diet.Just feel sad. off hormone therepy for prostate cancer.Yet oxygon even with low stats can't work out as almost ok.Shows all are different.Hard for people not in the square box so never give up.

Love to all

DON'T LET IT GET YOU DOWN THAT WILL ONLY MAKE THINGS WORSE , ITS VERY HARD IN OUR SITUATION TO LOSE WEIGHT, GETTING SAD OVER IT WILL ONLY MAKE YOU GAIN WEIGHT , MY 6 MINUTE TESTS GO UP AND DOWN AND I DO SOME MYSELF ON THE REAL GOOD DAYS JUST TO GIVE MYSELF A LIFT

You shouldn't be disappointed with yourself but should pat yourself on the back for trying. Hopefully if you keep at it you will have better results next time. Take care 😚 Penny xx

Thanks for your kind thoughts PenelopeS

Good morning piping,

There may be many other reasons why the 6 minuter was not so good, but keep on working hard at your diet - you really must find it hard after hormone therapy to keep the weight off. I understand your disappointment. No - never give up. Next time will more than likely be better; I hope so.

Hello Piping, I just wanted to say I think you are a star 🌟 and it really is how you feel that matters ☺ ...perhaps now the hormone therapy is finished that extra weight will go . Please don't be disheartened any more as you know next time...it could be your best result! ✔

Wouldn't it be nice if we could all go walking together 😀 strictly for pleasure of course lol ! thinking of you, huff xxx
