Welcome SquirrelWitch I have a similar BMI and am also at ‘ that’ stage of life!

I’ve started following LCHF and intermittent fasting which has helped. As you can see from my stats I haven’t lost loads ( I did get my stone badge within 10 weeks but have yo yoed a bit) but I’ve definitely lost inches from the middle / waist area which has helped me feel so

much better.

Good luck!

Brilliant! I do struggle with carbs & being diabetic I need to learn some self control!

[RedUnicorn in reply to SquirrelWitch]

That’s not always easy but take every day as a fresh start!

Hello and welcome SquirrelWitch 😊

Hi, found this site today and am hoping will support and motivate me. I hit the sad step at Boots this lunchtime and I am at my heaviest too (also perimenopausal). 12st 10lbs and BMI 30.4. Gave up smoking 7 years ago and its been a gradual gain - loss - bigger gain climb since then. Not helped by being surrounded by slim 20 somethings at work who eat what they like and are a size 8 and still moan.

Awww I know that feeling. Having looked through the posts I think we may just make it! 🤣
