I always like to plug this book whenever I can. I refer to it over and over, and it's such a good read, and not intimidating for a beginner. A very friendly and encouraging book.

She also gives lots of good lifestyle and nutrition advice. Love this book!

Keep at it, go at your own speed and enjoy...walking is good anyway to keep the bone density up.

Good luck Bethany1!
