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 NHS 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the NHS 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.

Hi, I know how you feel I to have slowly gained weight over the years. I will be 50 next year and I am determine to make positive change before my next b'day. I am sure we can do this together, its never to late, blah to the negative nellies x
It is possible to lose weight without doing any exercise at all. I am unable to exercise because of a disability. Even walking is difficult for me. I managed to lose over 25kg (63lbs) at the age of 49 (I'm 54 now).
Here are some of my past posts which you might find useful / interesting.
You can definitely do this don't worry about the Gym, you can do your own exercise if you want to and they don't deserve your money anyway. When you look at our sites have a look at the NHS bmi calculator on the welcome newbies section and check how many calories you should have to be able to lose weight and make sure you eat somewhere between the range it tells you, but don't drop below this range as your body thinks you are starving it and will turn what you do eat into body fat and this turns what you do eat into body fat and this weighs more than eating the extra calories does so it stops you losing weight and sometimes means you put weight on instead. I used to eat much less than this amount without realising and found this was why I was really flabby and never lost weight. Make sure you are not doing the same and good luck with your journey.
