Mimiofde Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Newbie from US. I'll be 48 in January, mom and grandmother. Need to drop 20 lbs. and firm up abdominal area. I spent 8 1/2 months last year between abdominal surgeries and recovery. Had a bowel resection, gallbladder removed, and uterus.... whew! So I'm not a couch potato but could use to more allot more. Have a Fitbit to try and keep me on track, come close or hit 10k on most days. Found this app and hope to start tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcela Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hi I'm also new to this app. I'm 54 , overweight, suffer from thyroid problems. I like a couch potato sitting on the sofa watching tv. I know I need to change those habits but the idea really scares me, I'm not really fit for exercise, I go to Zumba class just once a week and the rest of the week take several walks with the dog. I know that I should stick to the program. Hope to start tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGuest Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 ¡Hola! just downloaded app, I'm flat footed and suffer great pain just by walking alone; I wonder if anybody has any tips for me?

MGuest Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hi Linda, I am 54, new to running, and with flat feet as well. I'm so excited to finally have the ability to fulfill my lifelong dream of running further than across the street without causing severe pain in my feet and ankles, likening it to mini-sprains. This pain used to cause me to nearly fall every time I attempted to take off on a run, and I would limp away till the pain subsided. Walking was also very painful for me, even after trying every type of over-the-counter insert, and many different shoe types. I feel I am able to run only after getting custom made orthotics from my podiatrist. I told him about all of my lower extremity problems since childhood, and of my dream to be a runner. It took about 4-5 months of getting my feet, ankles, legs and knees used to my new orthotics, but everything is finally in the correct alignment. I am only starting week 2, but I am ecstatic that I am actually running, with zero foot or ankle pain! I am feeling good and confident that I will succeed because - I CAN run!! Check with a reputable podiatrist, and invest in some custom orthotics, they just might work for you like they have for me. Good luck to you in reaching your goal.

Iluv2fsh Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Hi I am Lynette 50yrs old! Just attempted wk1 day 1 and only got halfway sadly. Sooo unfit. Will repeat it till I get it! You can do it. Today was my first day also. I did the whole thing but only ran 30 sec's each time instead of 10 min. I believe that is the same as only halfway. We can do this, I am going to repeat also until I can get it done. StephW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkharris Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Week 1 day 2 for me. I'm also doing a 30 day yoga challenge as well. I'm 28 and just trying to conquer depression. If anyone wants to friend me and help keep each other motivated, I would love that cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda K Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hi, I am 50 years old and a grandmother. I just finished week 1 day 1 and made it through. It is raining and icy here so I did laps in my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
