My name is Monique, I am 39 year old, overweight Fibromyalgia sufferer who has had enough of being in pain, unfit and not being able to wear the type of clothes I like!
I'll be 40 in less than a year, and am about to start Pain management at my local hospital, so have decided to use Marie Winsor Pilates as advertised on TV (yeah, I can be a little gullible at times!)
Part of the reason, along with the reasonable price, were the testimonials from this site http://exercise.about.com/b/2003/07/02/does-winsor-pilates-work.htm#comment-86997
These people are my inspirations, and with their help, I will be sticking with the plan with the goal of toning up, increasing flexibility and losing inches, not so much concerned with weight at the moment.
I will be updating fortnightly, with pics, vital statistics and hopefully not too much moaning and whinging, but don't count on that!
Wish me luck, guys xx
