About Me

Have you found yourself wanting to get fitter and healthier, but don't know where to start? Have you made attempts but felt REALLY out of place in your local fitness center because you are at the beginning of your journey and most of the people you see around you are well into theirs? Have you been too embarrassed to start because you know you can't keep up or even because you are in your baggy sweats and oversized t-shirt to hide what you consider to be your flaws?

I have felt ALL of these things!! I started this page to share with you how and where I started, how I overcame some of these obstacles, but also to get down and dirty and share the real truth about the struggles of a middle-aged, overweight cancer survivor, who has been left with health issues that made losing weight and exercise very difficult for me. I want people like me to have a safe place to read, possibly share (as a later website upgrade), and find helpful resources.

I wanted to build a site that can be a resource, and perhaps a bit of encouragement, for those out there that are just like me...not so young anymore, overweight, and not sure how to go about bettering themselves in a world of super-fit, super-toned, and super-athletic people.
