Hi.... I'm a newbie!

[Murraymint]

Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I'm 44, mum to 3 boys and work permanent nightshifts. After being diagnosed with depression and starting antidepressants just before Xmas, I decided to help myself as much as I could too... As soon as I started to feel a little better I started walking 6k every day and changed my eating habits... I now walk 8k every day (walk 3k, then run 3k then walk the rest) and I've lost 19lbs. I'm so proud of myself, I have more energy and feel brilliant. I soooooo wish I'd done this years ago!!

Hi Murraymint, this is really good. You have made some positive changes in your life which in turn can only have positive results. Really well done x

Well done. I'm a mum (45) and had terrible depression after my children were born, after a few years on antidepressants I'm back off them and I think running and exercise has really helped with that. I run a few 10ks when the weather is better and it keeps me sane. I've piled on the lbs in the last 3 years but I've just started losing again so it's great to hear how far you've come in a short space of time. Keep running! 🌟
