Hi,

If you’re inspired by Steve Vaught’s amazing trek across America (he’s lost over 9 stone and walked over 2,300 miles so far) join WLR’s Walk The Weight Off Challenge. Don’t panic, we’re not suggesting you should take a monster hike like Steve’s but you could try a few shorter walking routes or simply build more walking into your day.

Hope you enjoy this month’s newsletter, best Wishes
