Hello

[Tannie-a]

Hi. I am new on here today. Looking for support to help me loose weight. I am 39 years old and have a two year old daughter, and 2x step sons, one at 32 and one at 24. I am currently under the dr for high blood pressure, and I think it could be related to my lifestyle. I have never been light, when I was my healthiest I was still 11st, but I am 5'10 so that about right for me, but now I am 15 and half stone so looking to loose 4 stone, and hoping this will help my health issues. I work two jobs so don't find a lot of time to exercise anymore. Any help, support advise appreciated. Thanks

Hi there Tannie-a. You certainly have a lot going on so no wonder you have hypertension. Stress plays a huge part in this weight gain issue (as I know only too well) The forum here is brilliant and you will get loads of encouragement if you post - Lowcal is one of the lovely administrators and can be always guaranteed to keep an eagle eye out for everyone! Good luck in your journey back to better health and fitness.
