Hi everyone, I am 73yrs old and I have struggled with my weight most of my grown up life, I know some of you might think at 73yrs why bother about your weight at that age, but I suffer with Osteoarthritis and I figured if I lost a couple of stone it would hopefully help with my mobility. 😊

Hi and welcome, Legweak

It's never too late to take care of yourself

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread, then move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you.

Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news.

Take a look at the 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate.

We run daily weigh-in's and you'd be very welcome to join us. The threads can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the home page, bottom on a mobile.

We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too.

It's only left for me to wish you well on your journey

Your never too old to do good things for yourself. And as you loose a few pounds you will probably find gentle exercise beneficial which is a win win situation for your body. Keep up the good work. Xx

Thank you Cuddlygran, I go to Zumber class twice a week and I go walking out in the countryside when we can, I'm on the go all the time so I do get a fair mount of exercise. Xx

[Cuddlygran in reply to Legweak]

Wow. Go you! Im afraid you put me to shame. I do wizz the dog round after work and am knee deep in painting walls etc at mo, but zumba sounds much more fun. Do you think it would help if l painted to music? 😁

Definitely x

[Legweak in reply to Cuddlygran]

Definitely, am not sure how your painting would look tho, doing decorating is good exercise, stretching & bending, very good. 😊🖒
