Hi everyone

I haven't posted for a while,I've had the year from hell.

in January my beloved dad who was my hero passed away and my world fell apart

My mum is also in bad health and I'm terrified of losing her my own health is not great,I suffer with osteoarthritis and need 2 new knees, because of my weight my mobility is reduced greatly. I've had to take early retirement from work cos I couldn't cope physically with the pain.

Ive decided to get myself back on track, going for daily little walks and healthy eating I'm taking control back of my life.

Sorry for the long post but I wanted to let you all know what I've been through and where I am. Its the hardest thing to lose weight and keep it off but only we can do it.t his is a great supportive community and we are all in the same boat.

I just wanted to touch base with everyone, my weight at the minute is highest it's been so I've got my work cut out!

 Thanks for listening and being there xx😊

Hello and welcome back, Red67 :)

You've been through some tough times but, as you know, you'll find support and encouragement here. Building up with your daily walks and concentrating on your food choices will help you get back on track.

You'll find all our forum activities by following this link healthunlocked.com/weight-l... to Pinned Posts. How about joining the weigh in this morning? And have a look at the daily diary to see what meals everyone is planning, then join in when you're ready. Have a look through all the pinned posts as there will be other things to help you on your way or just for a chat e.g. the book club.

Active participation is key so I hope we'll see you out and about around the forum :)
