Hi - I'm new here. I just don't seem to be able to stick to my plans for healthy eating and regular exercise but haven' given up yet! I am hoping a community like the site will help.

Good luck it’s only half an hour

What's stopping you Ali? We're all friends here 💗

Does getting out there seem a bit too daunting? I was 💩 myself.

Just get out there! It will be the best thing you've ever done! Find a quite place, and listen to Michael Johnson.. it will change your life
