I am 66 years old. I need to lose weight, especially since I have a joint condition. I have had both ankles fused, both knees replaced and both shoulders replaced. I want to lose weight so that there will have less pressure on the joints. I have major depression and anxiety disorder, which I have been eating unhealthy to cope with both disorders. But I am doing better now, and trying to eat better.

Hi pjsmart and welcome to this amazing forum. I suggest you spend some time clicking about to find your way around. It's easier if you have a lap-top as there are several threads.

Have a good read of the pinned post “Welcome Newbies” and follow every thread.

Here’s the link to the pinned posts, healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Where you'll find everything that we offer, including our Daily Diary and Weigh In.

I strongly suggest you read and contribute to the Daily Diary and participate in a Weekly Weigh in.

You will find there's loads of tips about better eating, from other members. Sharing your daily menu not only helps you stay committed, it can help other members too.

Good luck I hope to "see " you around.
