Hi everyone!

I'm a 66 years young Scottish woman who had a heart attack in November 23, treated by medications only..I was lucky. I completed a 12 week rehab programme and carried on exercising . I also used the heart chatroom which was great. However after a long winter I have gained more weight!! Now in Obese section of BMI chart.. I'm suffering the consequences...Sore hip joints, legs and back..Really scunnered with myself..I need to get on a weight loss programme but really don't want to go back to Slimming World etc.... Was told by a dietician not to do any fasting diets..What diet programmes do you follow? I feel I need support..don't want to revisit CCU! I cook but have a sweet tooth and probably eat too much!

Sandra 🙂🐱
