Slowly getting fatter and it has to stop!

Over the last 18 months I have put on roughly a stone. I can’t just blame the menopause but it hasn’t helped. Anyone else have this issue?!

Yes. Not this last year but the 3 before this.

Fatigue, anxiety, hormones, boredom. I was just going up a size & refused. So downloaded my fitness pal app & count my calories. Not religiously but 90% decently. I go to the gym. Weights at 1st now I’m trying C25K as well. Just finished the 1st week whoop.

Hi, Hidden , welcome.

I put on over a stone after my late wife died.

I did not blame the menopause - and, I think, my grey beard indicates that I am immune!

If you "slim smart" weight loss is not so hard! It is not all about motivation and masochism.

Some of us here find that what works is a combination of The Low Carbohydrate, High-Fat (LCHF) diet (see the forum here on Health Unlocked) and Not Snacking All Day AKA Intermittent Fasting (IF). See:
