Hi and welcome glenafton1 you need to do the NHS BMI calculator to find out your calorie range - information can be found in the Newbie Club

I would like to invite you to join our Newbie Club, which we hope will be a good place for you to connect with members, who are also just starting out, or re-starting.

If you just post a few words on the October Newbie Club thread to introduce yourself and respond to others there you will soon feel part of the club.

Follow this link to the Newbie club: healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Please read all the information carefully, it is very useful and can be referred to whenever you want to check something.

It just remains for me to wish you well on your journey

Hi welcome to the forum. To help with sustainable weight loss it's all about finding something that's right for you. This forum is great because people have lots of great ideas, suggestions and importantly great motivation. There's no one formula that fits everyone because we're all at different places on our journey.

For some it's about drinking more water or eating of a smaller plate or doing at least 30 min walk everyday.

Keep in touch and get involved in the forum you will soon find what works for you.

Good luck

Hello Glenafton

I am going to be 71 at the end of the month and I have lost 15 kg since 1 July by following the 8 week blood sugar diet and upping walking to at least 10000 steps a day

So the answer is yes you can lose weight at your age if you try and want to

Best wished

thank you for that. I have been diagnosed with mild bile salt absorption and i feel that has led to my weight gain too. Got to get to grips with it and see what meds are going to work for me Still need to follow some kind of plan for weight loss
