I'm new today. I've been yoyo dieting all my adult life. I eat a very healthy diet but just too much. When I'm stressed I over eat and treat myself with chocolate. I'm in my sixties and I have been a size 8 and a size 18.
I drink a bottle of white wine every night which adds to the calories. I know it's bad for my health although I have done it for many years and function well. I am still working.
I currently weigh 11 and a half stone and would like to be 9 and a half stone. So two stone to go. My plan is one stone before I go on holiday in September and another by Christmas.
I grow a lot of my own veg and am almost vegetarian and have had spells in my life as a vegan and have a passion for fruit and veg. I know what to do I just need encouragement. My husband is a real foodie and a feeder and doesn't need to lose weight.
I have had spells of going to the gym but find it tough. I would prefer pilates or yoga.
I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol and I take medication for both. I have managed to get off meds by diet and exercise before but have lapsed badly.
If there's anyone out there that could offer advice I would be very happy!
