Hi I am just starting on the NHS 12 week plan. I need to loose weight cause my joints and my feet are suffering. I am 52 and want to keep healthy for my hubby and children and 5 wonderfully grandchildren.
All new for me. : Hi I am just starting... - Weight Loss Support
All new for me.

Thank you it is nice to get some support.xx
You couldn't do a better thing supernannie than shed a few pounds; your feet and legs will love you for it! My leg and ankle swelling has gone right down and I have lost my night cramps. I can dance all night (and often do!) and instead of puffing trying to walk to the shops, I can manage a 9 mile walk now and just shrug it off. My feet still ache sometimes, but I think a 20 year old's feet would ache after that kind of pounding! The effort is well worth it. Here's to a happier and healthier you x
Hello and welcome supernannie 😊 The first few days are the most difficult but you will soon get into the swing of things 😊 Losing weight and increasing fitness were my main motivations too and 13 months on I am feeling 20 years younger 😊
Good luck 😊
