Welcome - this is great place to keep yourself on track whatever particular diet you're following - I've found the weekly weigh-ins, the friendly advice and spirit of camaraderie invaluable to my weight loss after years of struggling solo

Yes I'm one of life's yoyo dieters

Hi my name is Joyce I'm 76 so perhaps one of the oldest newbies here. Though I still feel I need to loose 2 to3 stone. I used to do long distance walking but unfortunately my knees gave out. So can't do a lot of walking. Though I'd like to make more of an effort and do a bit more. Anyway see how it goes. Thanks for your warm welcome to the Newbie group.

We have other more mature members Joyce, each dedicated to their health and well-being.

You might like to join our exercise challenges, designed not for competition, but for motivation?

[Elphisjo in reply to moreless]

Yes I hope to increase my steps gradually building them up. Pouring up here today. So I'm making myself go up and down the stairs 3 times at regular intervals

That sounds like an excellent plan!

Good luck.. I found that the 12 week programme takes a bit of planning at first but you soon get into it.. I am on week 10 and am finding it a lot easier to plan meals and count my calories. I am sure it will go really well.
