Day one of a long jouney ahead...

Good evening! It is Sunday 8th November, I am 49 years old, 14st 8lbs, obese and miserable with it... Day one is tomorrow, I have enrolled to this wonderful site, filled my kitchen with fresh fruit and veg...and couse cous! I have the Weight Watchers old points plan to start off with in order to control my portion sizes... Phew!

I should be a maximum of 9st 11lbs for my height.. 5ft 2ins...which makes sense, therefore I have about 5 stone to lose...

I also have a programme worked out for me by a personal trainer, gym on Tuesday morning after school drop off (no car tomorrow).

What can possible go wrong? 8-)

Best Wishes, you can do it. There are so many helpful people on this site with loads of encouragement.

I am not very good at the moment, a bit under the weather, but hopefully will get back down to it soon . I need to lose two stone, but I am determined to get down to it.

Good Luck

Hi Lizzy, hope you feel more like you soon. I want to drop a stone and it isn,t happening yet but we crack on.

I am two months into the same journey. Good news I am still alive and I am loosing weight. I try to eat 6 times a day. It makes the small size of meals seem more acceptable (head stuff). It is a good idea to sign up here. Everyone is nice and you will get support.

Hi and welcome Josephine :)

If you're interested, Lowcal runs an extremely popular group weigh-in on a Monday, where we gather to swap notes on how our weeks have gone, It's amazingly motivating and helps to keep us accountable. You would be more than welcome.

Whatever you decide, I wish you all good luck with your weight loss journey :)

Hi,

It is 4pm Sunday 8th November and I am on holiday in Florida from the Uk. I have just read your post. I just checked my BMI to be informed that I am Obese. So I can identify with how you are feeling. I suppose the first step is in facing up to things😊.

So like you, my journey starts now.

It will be worth it🌴

Hi,

Thank you😊. In the process of experiencing empty nest syndrome and have neglected myself for many years. So, yes I need to change my way of thinking and start thinking about 'me' x
