I am 50 yrs old going onto 51 in January. I have 3 children aged 20,18 and 12.I work full-time,very long hours and mostly sedentary. I was always active especialy in endurance sports, love swimming, ran 2 marathons but sustained a foot injury and it has somehow become chronic... the weight piled up and whilst i was still fitting in my usual clothes they started become tighter and had to move up size, sometimes even 2...i love my clothes and how i looked 3 years ago and am now very determined to get back on track and lose the extra weight.
