Hi Chris and welcome. I didn't succeed with losing weight until my fiftieth year (2012 to present - I'm 54 now). It's never too late!

I too have tried many times to lose weight - been overweight since the age of 9. Managed to lose 4.5 stone in 2.5 years with counting calories and weighing out portions. Didn't use exercise much until after I'd lost most of my weight.

I have a physical disability that means I am pretty sedentary (use a wheelchair outside of the house).

I think the main message is to KEEP ON GOING. It may seem slow. It may seem laborious. Life goes on, so don't try and deny yourself the odd special meal out. After a while, you start to embrace some new lifestyle and food choice habits.

Shout if you need help!

Thank you - I officially started my new diet or should I say lifestyle yesterday so fingers crossed...

Hi Chris-D-T

Welcome to the forum, I hope you really like it here. I am sure this is your year, that depends very much on you but I don't see why you shouldn't lose your extra weight. You can do this! Good luck!!
