Hello! Newbie here

[Gobbolino]

Hello everyone! I've stumbled upon this page, and it looks like a great place to start!

I'm 42, I have always weighed around 10 stone (65kg); I put on a hell of a lot during pregnancy, and since then (3 yrs this month), haven't been able to lose anything. True, I haven't been exercising...I've tried a couple of diets, but lost very little and got frustrated.

So, last month I started running (similar to couch to 5k) with an app. And I managed to get to a 15min run! But I got terribly depressed when I weighed myself after a month, and I haven't lost a tiny little bit-nor do my jeans feel loser. Hopefully, I will get somewhere on this program.

My aim is to lose 2,3 stone (14-15kg). My frustration comes from that I eat very healthily (said by a nutritionist)- lean meats, brown bread, hardly any sugar (never at home), only water and tea at home, and so on. So I get very depressed to think that, even with a healthy lifestyle and some exercise, I'm stuck with 80 kg.
