A new start

[Jaibie]

Have just made the decision to focus on me and losing weight and getting fitter. Recently retired and not as active as before meant the pounds were creeping on to the already overweight me. Determined to be a fit grandmother later on this year.

Hi there, good on you. I have decided to concentrate more on ME too. 5 days ago I started walking 8 km a day which is a challenge for me as I have RA fibromyalgia depression and a liver problem. Even so I have been really enjoying it, I bought myself a Fitbit as an incentive and it's great. So go for it, and congratulations on becoming a grandmother this year.

Thank-you denvajade. Well done on the walking. I always feel better after walking with my dogs so know what good walking does for you. I've just started doing the NHS podcasts couch to 5k. Doubt I'll ever be a runner but hope to be fitter. I was much fitter once upon a time!
