I am a widow with a small group of friends who do not walk or exercise. I began eating correctly about 5 years ago which means giving up sugary or boxed products, but I am a diabetic and it's hard to lose. I exercise on a Total Gym and recumbant (sp?) bike but still do no lose. What can I do to stay on a program and find a group? I don't have the funds to join the local WMCA ($75 a month). Do you have any advice for me?
