I'm not really all that large, in my head, that is, however as a UK size 16/18 (if I lie flat and breathe in) with a height of 5ft 5 and a weight of 200lb (90kg my heaviest ever) I am technically obese!
I've had a difficult year, that is my excuse and I am sticking to it. This time last year I was a size 14 and weighed 170lb, which looked fine on me as an over 50 year old lady. I lost my job, became less active, felt depressed and before I knew it here we are. I was horrified when my husband took this photo on a recent holiday, it really brought it home to me that I have let things slip, mainly in a downwards direction, lol. So before things get out of hand I need to deal with this.
I'm alone at home all day, have a husband and a dog, 2 adult kids, live in Yorkshire, and would love to make some weight loss buddies and have a bit of a support network.
I'm looking forward to reading all of your posts and getting motivation to make this journey work!
Have a good read of all the information and just ask if you have any questions. You are not alone in gaining weight and will make many friends along the way as you lose it 😊
Hi there...im new here and really liked ur post. Im d same as yourself-can believe im stuck in a size 20 at the moment. Im a 48 year single mom of a teenage girl and ive got into the habit of destressing with food and over d year my consumption of food has increased no end. I'm 5 foot 6" so I think I've got to put an end to it right now before I think of a few more excuses...ive cleared out the presses today and planning on making a few batch meals. I started swimming lessons last week (twice a week) so I'm slowly changing my routines a bit now. Hope to hear more from u soon. Best wishes
