Hi

I am 54 year old female, 212lbs at 5'8" so technically obese. I started yesterday. This morning have pain in Achilles' tendon on left side. Determined to be fit and slim by 55! Any advice re Achilles?

No advice on achilles. My foot problems tend to revolve around plantar fasciitis so stretch my feet before and after running. My off-spring laugh at me standing on the stairs flexing my feet or leaning dramatically against walls.

Wanted to say well done on getting started though. Have been doing the programme on and off since 2012, but this year have really gone for it, and it has helped with losing 42lbs so far. Of course moderated diet has also helped.

Hope some of the wise things offer you a sensible suggestion to your achilles, and good luck.
