Hello I am 72 years old and I just recently started dialysis for my kidney disease. I am also looking into getting a donor kidney and prior to receiving that I have to lose at least 40 pounds and become much healthier. I am hoping this program will help me in both of those endeavors.

Good to have you here Theresajsm! Make sure you move really slowly and stay really well hydrated! Is your doctor on board with your running? You might not lose weight through the programme but you will feel much better! Go slow, keep posting here and enjoy the ride!
