'If you're having an ups and downs time and you͛'ve made all this progress, you say right well ok, you don't know if it's a month or a week or a year, so you almost chart it back. So every month I'm doing a bit more.'

'It improves from a spoken goal cause otherwise you look at it and I wouldn͛t know when I had started that. Sometimes I felt a bit lazy with myself but then I thought right I need to get on with this. Otherwise I'm not going to go any further.'

'I guess it helped me focus on it, I guess some people might feel they have become ostracised and this lets you know that you're not on your own.'
