Here we go again

[Steff71]

I'm determined to not be fat and fifty, yes I know I've got 5 years to go yet, however I not only want to achieve losing 5 stone by then, I want to be able to maintain it. I've pretty much yo-yoed all of my adult life. Alway successful with low fat, low calorie and exercise, however I have 0 willpower and tend to find my motivation dwindles. I also have the added issue that I despise the gym and most days pain or tiredness reduces the exercise prospects.

Therefore the new plan is that by sharing this journey I will be able to remain in "The Zone". So here goes......this picture is my goal xxx

Hi Steff71 , welcome to our merry band.

I'm 45 and my reason for joining was exactly the same. Too lose some weight & keep it off. When I started the healthy plan I set my self a target of 68kg. I managed to reach this weight about 10 years ago & felt much better.

In the last 10 years my weight yo-yo'd between 68 and 77 kg.

I'm now 71.4 kg so making progress.

Good luck xxxxx
