Hi J J, welcome to one of the best support forums ever.  Just kindness and great ideas with a big dollop of common sense.  Hope it is as good for you as it has been for me.  Have you chosen your eating plan?  Or are you hoping to follow an existing one better?  I am currently having an experiment with low carbs as I am supporting a family member who wanted to try it.  We are having lovely meals and, big bonus, he is doing 90% of the planning and cooking.  Win, win, win!!!  I do usually eat a lot of carbs as breads, starchy veg and masses of fruit so I am hoping that the changes are a kick up the a...   for my metabolism and I shed the half stone or so to take me back to goal a year after I lost my 5 stone.  I would really like to hit that anniversary on target and I am running out of weeks.  Waiting for the rain to calm down so I can have another walk.  See you round the forum, Venus
