Hi

[Semolina46x]

Hi I’ve really put on weight during lockdown and was already overweight. So started walking to get me going. I’ve decided to look at my diet and am trying to eat healthy.

Welcome and good luck with your progress. Lots of help on here, as pointed out by lucigret , and take it a step at a time.

A slower, steady weightloss is more likely to stay off longterm.😊

[Semolina46x in reply to elliebath]

Thanks everyone. Had a bad day yesterday’s as it was my mum and dad’s anniversary. Was really hard emotionally being the first since we lost my dad through covid. Will go back to gym on the mornings.

Hi. I'm sorry you had a bad day yesterday and am sorry for your loss. Anniversaries are hard especially the 1st ones. Sending you a socially distanced hug x
