Hi,
Love the look of this site. So many posts, information and tips for me to research. I have finally managed to lose about 18 lbs over the last year which is staying off, but finding it hard to lose more. So far I have just really cut down on snacks and processed foods, and increased excercise. Tried to run, which I found too ambitious, so now gone back to brisk walking each day. Looking forward to learning new routines and tailoring my eating habits more, to hopefully lose more weight.

Welcome and congratulations on your losses so far. If you are thinking of doing running you my want to check out the couch to 5K program. I am not the running type yet I was in my 40s and able to complete it and run a 5K so if I could do it I am betting you can too. It revs you up slowly and safely into running. It is often abbreviated as C25K
