On My Way to the Best Me

[GuerreraAmazona]

Hi all!

It's great to be here. I've been struggling with health issues for three years which prevented me from hitting the gym. I had absolutely no energy. Thank God that now I am much better and can finally start my journey of wellness. I'm a 48 year old female, mother of a 17 year old daughter who is my life and joy I'm very committed to turning my life around so any help is truly appreciated. Before I continue, thank you for reading so far and offering your advice and sharing your expertise.

Hey guys and gals!

I know you all have better things to do than to use your precious time giving advice to a stranger on an internet forum but remember that any good deed is rewarded eventually in one way or another... Besides, don't you want to have an input in my transformation? Wouldn't that be motivating and inspiring for you? So, please take a few minutes and help me out. I'm going to get my gym membership back tomorrow Woohoo!

Thank you!
