I’m new on here

9 Replies

Hi all I’m new here but I am at the minute trying to lose weight too. I have lots of health problems and I guess sometimes I feel one problem mingles in to another one. It’s like I want to do exercises but the pain in some of my conditions stop me, then going out I can’t I’m to scared and with the virus out there too. It’s so hard it really is. Sorry for the rant.

Hi :) well you can always just go outside your neighborhood with your mask on and go for a walk and just look at the beautiful nature and pray and thank god that you have woken up to love another day. Of course exercise is great but the main thing that is going to have full affect is your diet so make sure you’re eating a lot of veggies and clean food like salmon fish chicken rice potatoes and lots of water. We can get through this together I believe in you ♥️

Sorry I should have said I’m not allowed to go out with the virus as I’m isolating. But it’s the thought of when I can I no it’s going to be harder than before the virus was here. I’ve joined the weight lose group and it’s been 8 days now and I have lose 11lb. So very happy on that

Thats amazing, 11lbs in 8 days. Have you followed a specific diet, if not what sort of things have you been eating.

I am so sorry to here about the loss of your friends this virus is such a terrible disease. You are one of the amazing heroes that’s done amazing work and I thank you.

I’ve been one of the people shielding and it’s so scary.

For me I’ve always been overweight and as old as I am 56 I’ve never been on a eating plan that I love and that I stick to, but this one I have.

My main thing is I’m sticking to what I have read being on here picking up little tips. Always have food ready in the freezer if you can. My hubby has been amazing he really has, he is my career and has supported me 100%.

I wish you well in you eating plan. 💐

Been having a lot of health issues as well. One issue just goes to another. I extinguish one and then another comes out. Just feel my health is going down hill. Been trying so many things to make things permanently better. No success yet.
