Default So fed up

Hi I am new to this. Thought I would join up and hopefully get some support and motivation to lose weight. I really need to do this for my health but since I have had to give up smoking I am eating more and have put on about 10lbs in the last month. I had lost two stones before I got ill with a heart attack. I am pretty healthy now apart from my weight and fitness which I intend to change. Wish me luck

Gill

Welcome!--we're about the same height, and have the same end goal and similar starting points. Hooray! That's always nice to see, that there are people like you.

Good luck! And more than luck, you'll need determination, but you sound like you've got it. Stick around, and let's hope it doesn't take you as long as it's taken me (I'm four years into the process of losing weight by changing my lifestyle, but I'm getting there!).

Thank you all. Still not smoking and no cravings for it. Have been doing more exercise and feeling good. Still eating too much junk but one thing at a time, I am good 70% of the time I think haha

Thank you. Thats true its not easy and I tried many times but when you get told your ill you dont need to try and find a reason you just automatically do it so has not been as hard for me at all
