In the words of my DH, if I’d lost a pound for every pound I’ve paid to a weight loss club ..... Like so many I join, pay the fees, lose the weight, get fed up, stop paying the fees, put the weight back on, plus some more. I’m now 47 and the heaviest I’ve ever been and I feel ugly and ashamed of the way I look. I’m also concerned for my health. I have it all, a loving husband and two beautiful daughters and a career I enjoy. I now need to take a permanent grip and start looking after myself otherwise I could risk it all.

Wishing you all the best :)

Hello PLC70 and welcome.

If you start making the changes you need today and set yourself a mini target, you'll soon be underway and seeing progress. A lot of us use the NHS plan as a guide: it's not a diet and there are no fads, it just helps you develop a healthier way of living.

You'll find loads of support and ideas here if you get involved with a weekly weigh-in or daily diary, and general posts. Follow the links cracker has sent you and you'll find your way around the site.

Good luck :)

Welcome to this wonderful forum PLC70 . You have taken the first step to a healthier happier new you. Stay active on the forum and enjoy the journey. Wishing you well.😊
