Good evening cupcake queen and welcome,

Well done for joining the gym Well it sounds as though you realise this isn't going to happen overnight - I would suggest you break down your target into small chunks - it won't seem quite so overwhelming and you can celebrate along the way

It is so worth it. Our health truly is our wealth. The most fabulous feeling in the world is to feel good. And you are in control of it.

Hi I'm also trying to lose again but at age 73 and 16 stone it's hard to know what to do. I was 15 stone at age 25 and lost 5 stone by ridiculous diet for a year. I'm taking it easy, eating a lot of fruit and veg but also having a bit of a treat 2 or 3 times a week, am losing about 0.5lb a week, can't exercise due to a lot of health problems, but will keep going and hope to lose another 3 lbs by our golden wedding anniversary in late September.

Good luck hope you enjoy the gym etc...
