Hi 🙂 I hope you have fast recovery from your shoulder surgery.. Reading between the lines..are you entering menopause 🤔 I had little difficulty controlling my weight until around that time, since then it’s been an uphill battle. There is plenty of advice online re how to achieve weight loss, and diet plans etc..but I’ve never found I’m able to ‘get with the programme’.

🙂 Sometimes better results are achieved when you have the empathy and support of a group ....It’s worth considering joining a local weight loss group, there are usually several options available to most people.

Hi I'm 59 had really late menopause starting at 57 since the menopause my body shape definitely seems to have altered weight is more around my lower belly and l can bloat out. I've read the menopause makes you put weight on differently it's quite upsetting . I now take more care choosing clothing to show off my best bits and hide my belly. Menopause is a huge problem. I have a prolapse since my menopause too. I just thought periods stopped!
