African Newbie Reaching Out

  • Hi, I am a newbie to the community, but an old hand in fighting my weight. I have been going through the various forums and I am happy i stumbled onto a whole world of people who are so keen to support one another to achieve their health goals!!! I want to embark on this journey and I will look to all of you to help me on my way!! Hold my hand please..

    I will do the .. gasp.. horror of horrors... weigh myself this weekend.. I am afraid of scales.. but in order to know how far you have gone, I have learned from all of you I need to know where I started

    As an African from Africa in Africa ( duh) ... I am reaching out to people from the continent who are waking up to the need to maintain helathy lifestyles and fitness.

    Thank you all
  • Hello! This is a lovely site to belong to, people really are kind.

    Good luck for the weigh in. You are absolutely right, you need to know where you started before you can rejoice in where you've got.

    Have you planned how you're going to do this thing yet?
  • Well Rosinante,

    I like what I know.. I love my treadmill and walking, I do aerobics twice or thrrice a week ,but consistency is my downfall, I will b good for a month then get distracted by holidays.. work travel etc.... I have to seriously cut back on booze as well.. I want the encouragement to go out keep at it consistently..What is your secret??
