Hello Happy Slimmers!!

[lathe]

I'm 79 on Saturday and read the post first thing in a morning and anytime I'm feeling hungry, I'm disabled and do chair exercises when I remember !! My first week of starting once again to try & lose weight, about 5 st to go WOW!! But with all your help feel I can achieve it this time, I'm due a hernia operation July/Aug time and know that losing weight will help me know end, so any advice and your company along the way would really be appreciated xx

Hi lathe ,

I'd like to wish you a Very Happy Birthday for Saturday. Hope you've got something nice planned to celebrate.

I know you're hoping to lose some weight before your hernia operation in July/Aug time, and wondered if you've had a look at the NHS Choices 'Healthy eating' pages - the NHS 12 week plan is worth a look, and there is also another forum called 'NHS weight loss' which might be worth joining as well, to give you additional support - they do lots of weekly activities and weigh-ins.

Here's the NHS Healthy Eating pages:

Good luck!

I've just had a look at this nhs site and see some great recipes but I would just caution users not to use an of the seed oils in the recipes; that's Rape seed, or Sunflower seed etc as they are not healthy foods. Use olive oil in every case but try to avoid over-heating it.

Enjoy your food, life is to be enjoyed. Tibbly

You will lose most of the weight through a good diet, so don't worry to much about the exercises.
