Newbie

[ClaireHand]

Morning all, I'm Claire and a newbie to the group. I was rushed to hospital at the weekend, on my way home from holiday, with a suspected heart attack. Thankfully, all the tests were negative for a heart attack, but showed an infection somewhere in my body. Also, a high cholesterol level of 7.4. I'm now starting to feel much better but this scare has given me the kick up the backside that I needed to lose weight and lead a healthier lifestyle. I'm looking forward to hearing all of your stories and successes and hopefully sharing my success too x
