Newbie who has just cut the strings off her yoyo

Hi everyone

Just joined with ending a lifetime of yoyoing with various diets. Hoping to just eat healthily and lose the weight. I have also just been made redundant and I am in need of a bucket full of confidence to get out there again.

Looking forward to chatting. Have 8 stone to lose

Thank you Cymrawes . Just looking around this site think it's exactly what I need. Haven't quite fathomed where everything is yet but will do.

Hope you are doing well

Just contemplating my daily 'medicine' of my 2 mile 'trudge' ha ha! I don't find it easy to navigate either Soo- but Admin are always here to help.

Good luck! Looks like the weather is getting better.

Lovely picture of you and your daughter(?). What did you do to have crutches, though? Hope recovery is quick. Best of luck and welcome!

[Hidden in reply to DRS54]

Hi DRS thank you, it's my great neice. The crutches are for my knee replacement that has loosened and gone squiffy after a few falls. Surgeon waiting to see if it sorts it's self out or needs re-doing. Losing weight will help big time

[DRS54 in reply to Hidden]

Good luck!

Welcome Soobeez you will find that there are loads of us in the same position as you. Paying out thousands of pounds to weight loss companies and never really keeping the weight off. The NHS plan doesn’t involve any ‘free food’ gimmicks, just plain old common sense. Everything that you eat and drink must be accounted for.

Although it might appear that starting a new ‘diet’ when you’ve just been made redundant is hard. Turn it round and make this a time to start creating a new you. Things can only get better (I’m going to have that song in my head now - lol). Good luck x

Thank you Judith. This site has been a godsend. Off for a walk now as I am inspired. Have a great day 🌻
