Weight loss Buddies wanted

[Mermaid58]

I live in the Durham area and have just joined the site.

I would like to meet up with people to exercise with - go walking, join a gym etc.. as well as encourage / motivate each other regarding healthy eating.

I have started taking supplements to increase energy levels as the weight gain has been mainly due to illness, but now I'm just downright unfit! Any advice / support greatly appreciated

Thank you. I feel quite daunted as I have never been overweight before. I don't recognize myself, Iv'e gone from being slim and active to fat and unfit in the last 8 years. Illness has been the main reason, then I have lost my confidence and motivation. Desperately need to get it all back

[IndigoBlue61 in reply to Mermaid58]

You can do it 😊. We are all cheering you on!

How did you screw up? give yourself a break, it's Friday! I'm suffering with low motivation, so I should be ashamed with myself
