Help this aged one

[Bellabree]

I am an 85 year old vegetarian with an ugly band of fat around my middle, it has to go!!! I go to An exercise class -step/circuit once a week-do my own shopping and housework but I'm essentially lazy. I love cooking but I really need to shepherd weight hopefully with your support Thank you

Morning @Bellabree

Welcome to the weight loss forum.

I don't think your lazy doing all your housework and shopping together with an exercise class are great exercises.

Take a look at the Welcome Newbie post in the Pinned post section at the right hand side or at the bottom if your on a mobile. Have a look at the nhs 12 week plan, many members have had success following this plan. Use the BMI checker to work out your daily calorie allowance.

Have a look at the Daily Diary which you can find on the Home page in Events. It is where all the members are sharing their daily plans on what they are eating and any exercise they are doing. This thread will give you some ideas on how to start.

Below the Pinned posts are the Topics where members share a range of weight related subjects.

Take your measurements at the start together with a photo so you can see the changes on the days the scales don't move.

We have daily weigh ins so why not come along and join us today. You can find the weigh ins on the Home page in the Events section on the right. Just click on the post in Events and record your start weight and any loss/gain or maintain for the week.

To get the most of the forum be active, share tips, recipes and experiences. Read some of the posts they are very motivating.

Have a good first week.

Hello and welcome, I'm 83 so it's good to have a fellow traveller on board this very supportive forum. Try the recipes, they're good and tasty, vegetarian or not. I also live quite a full life, my exercise classes ( Curves ) closed down unfortunately but I have many hobbies and contacts and also enjoy gardening and occasional, but not enough, walks. You will find the calorie allowance generous and you just have to be patient on the weight loss front. Happy travelling, you'll get there.
