Operation looming 😞

[NannyJ]

Need to lose 3 stone for an operation. I suffer from rheumatoid Arthritis and have for 20 years. My hip needs replacing again after 14 years of having the first op. I'm not very good at planning meals so tend to go for takeaways or the usual crisps, biscuits and chocolate. I'm going to need lots of advice, so if you have any tips or tricks please let me know. Thanks in advance x

Hi NannyJ and welcome.

As YellowRose55 pointed out, there is the NHS 12 week plan (I'm in week 4). Who can say whether it will be a fit for you but it seems to have focused a number of people here and has certainly helped me to reach this point.

I'll probably sound like a stuck record for those who may have seen my responses before but it may help to see this as a lifestyle change for yourself rather than a diet.

Good luck!

Awe I'm having a hip replacement in March I have just joined Weight Watchers and honestly its been fantastic I have no willpower at all I know a lot of people are against it but it's been brilliant for me Hope that helps xx

I hope you find it helps. I find it quite difficult to exercise, which doesn't help 😁

I can't exercise at all at the moment and I thought it would take ages to lose but it hasn't made any difference it's coming off and I'm thrilled Good luck 😉
