Me too. I want to lose a stone. Since I’ve been menopausal I’ve found it much harder to shift the weight

This is well worth reading, Besom21: apologies if someone has already given it to you

Thank you. I’m a bit hopeless but been told to lose a stone and I know I’d feel and look better....so let’s see

[BridgeGirl Administrator 2 stone in reply to Besom21]

I'm sure you're not hopeless, just finding your way. That first link I gave you is well worth taking on board

Hi there I joined this forum but have not been actively participating. Just saw your post and felt like I wanted to answer. Yes have had steady weight gain since age 50. I too need to drop a couple of stone. Maybe we can encourage each other as I have had my head in the sand. Will be 58 this year and am feeling the effects of the extra weight on my joints and when trying to be active. Let me know what you find to work. It’s my will power that lets me down 😢 I reach for sweet treats and unhealthy snacks when I feel down.

Best of luck on this journey.
