“
Since last year, I’ve gained a
few pounds and don’t feel good
with this extra weight. I started
paying more attention to the
things I eat, but knew that I had
to start exercising. So I joined
an exercise class at my church
with a good friend. We kept each
other going, and after 3 months,
I’ve lost 10 pounds and found
I have more energy. Not only
that, but since I’ve had so much
fun and made some great new
friends, I’m going to keep up
the classes. ”
