Hi elainey60 try Joining weight loss nhs, it's part of this same website, it's the weight loss forum, they are supportive, helpful and motivate, with challenges you can join, daily weigh in's you choice if and which day. I can't recommend this forum enough, it has completely changed my life, I'm losing weight sensibly, having fun and moving loads

Hopefully I'll see you there

[Hidden in reply to elainey60]

That's what me and a lot of other people have been doing but with the support of weight loss nhs forum we are learning to rethink our diet and are healthy eating and for me personally it's the first time I'm losing weight having fun and enjoying it.

I'm sure you would fit in perfectly, when you get a chance check it out there's no harm in looking

P.s there's lots of us older ladies on there xx

Welcome to the group. Have you checked out the Diabetes Hypertension Society group on HU for the blood pressure issues?

What has your doctor told you about counting carbs for each meal? This can help with weight loss and controling blood sugars.
