Hi louise67,

Nearly five weeks in on this eating sensibly thing (chucked out the naughties, basically) and I've lost a bit over 7 kgs. With the exercise I'm doing, I'm starting to put muscle on - yes, I think I can even see a hint of a bicep or two under the fat!

But more importantly, all in all, I truly feel years younger.

I thought I was just going to lose some weight, but this is more like I'm being regenerated almost. I'm actually amazed at the difference it's made to me. O.K., I'm doing quite a lot of exercise and my overall diet is much healthier than it was, but I'm still surprised at how much better I feel on a day to day basis.

And yes, I do have a long way to go. I'm still obese, but less so than I was.

The real big question for me is - why, oh why, didn't I do this years ago?

Well done with your journey to date. Pleased to hear it's having a pay-off with your joint pain.

Firstly, well done Louise67

. After losing some weight, it boosts your confidence,sort of telling you that if you can succeed one week, you can do it the next one too. That's how I found it. I am on my second week, and feel that this is a diet that I will be able to cope with, and change my eating habits long term.

As Doikosp said, I wonder why I didn't do this years ago. I have carried this extra 2 or 3 stones for 45 years now, but it has to go.

Hi moutere,

That is so how I feel about the 'extra' weight - IT'S JUST GOT TO GO!

I'm not going to carry on lugging it around with me and having all it's negative effects on my health and wellbeing and life generally.
