Got fat now it’s time to get fit

Turned 50 last year and I have been noticing that I am getting fatter not good for my health and not nice for my gorgeous wife. Time to sort things out I have just completed my first run in the first week. I used to be quite fit cycling everywhere boy I didn’t realise I was such a slob the times are changing from now

Good for you. I identify whole heartedly with what you said. I also turned 50 last year and have come to the realisation that I needed to do something about my health - physically and mentally. Sitting on my arse for far too long every day, well no more of that. Hope we can both keep it going.

Good for you for taking your health in hand 😊

I turned 50 last year too, and had lost 5 stone by the big birthday! I'm now 6 stone down & on week 5 of c25k.

Feels good to be doing something positive.

Good luck with your next run 🏃 😊
