I’m leaving my 40’s behind in a couple of months. It’s a strange time to be entering my 6th decade, especially with recently diagnosed sciatica (wrong chair when wfh, employer has been brilliant and provided a standing desk).

In the last 36 months, having never had any problem, I have

had concussion from slipping down my own back steps,

recovered from a broken elbow from playing touch rugby,

strained my groin and pulled my hamstring from playing 5 a side,

been diagnosed with depression and anxiety.

And to put the icing on the cake I’ve rediscovered my love of comfort eating and put on 5 stone.

I’m now without motivation and feeling a bit lost.

I’m on a mission now to be fit and well into my 60’s and beyond, hence my username.

Hello and welcome to the forum :)

Sounds like you've been in the wars, one way and another, so I hope the forum will help you turn things round with regards to your weight.

You'll find everything you need in Pinned Posts healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... A good place to start is by joining a weekly weigh in and using the Daily Diary, where members share their meal plans.

Active participation will be a big boost to your own efforts so I hope we'll see you joining in around the forum :)

Ah, time will pass, we want it or not. Not much we can do about it.

You can, however, do something about the 5 stones. You will probably benefit being in the healthy BMI range, and you are in a good place to get encouragement to achieve that.

BridgeGirl suggested the weigh in once a week. I used to be in the Sunday Slimmers group. I found lots of support there. I am sure you would like it there. If another day is more convenient, that’s fine, there’s a team for every day of the week.
