need to lose weight

I lost 2 and half stone 8 years ago. I’ve put it all back on!

I need to lose at least 2 stone, more if I can.

There are several reasons why. My 70th birthday this December, my daughters wedding, my health and keeping up with my 4 young grandchild.

I know I can do it, but am finding it hard to make a start.

I’m currently weighing 13stone 13lbs.

2 stone is a tough goal . Little by little . You will feel better after a 7lb loss then keep going . I am 63. I had bad knees before I started . Sluggish with hardly any confidence . I then lost 18kg and changed jobs , started to buy a few lovely clothes, had a quality haircut . It doesn't only change your shape - well what shape was round ?? Mentally and physically the new me is happier . We are moving to the coast soon . I doubt whether I would feel as happy wobbling round on the beach . You aren't starting crazy heavy either . Think Monday . This is a new job , a new venture .

Good morning. I notice that you have already made a good start by posting on the weigh in today. You may find it useful to make your goals a little less daunting. If, say, you were to focus on attaining your first badge (7lbs) then that would be something to celebrate. Thereafter, the next badge, and the next and so on. It doesn't seem like a hard slog that way. Good luck whichever way you decide to do it.

Agreed Herman - it does easily pile on . You can only eat what you buy but totally am with you about how easy it is to slip.
