Default Good Morning from a newbie :-)

Hi everyone, I just found this site yesterday and thought it would be a good idea to join in. I am 46 and married with three grown children and two gorgeous grandaughters. I stood on the scales this morning and weigh in at 13 stones 1 lb, I always start diets but give up, I did lose 10lbs a few months ago with slimming world but then started struggling so packed the class in. I have recently been put on meds for blood pressure and therefore am now in panic mode that I need to lose it :-(

Thanks for listening :-)

Thats the thing Shaz. Everybody has struggles, but you just need to work through them. You can do it if you set your mind to it. "Rise Above"

Hi and welcome!! I too have been having high blood pressure readings at my doctors appointments and at my last one they wanted to put me on medication. I told them no, that I wanted to try and lower it on my own, so since then I've been trying. Good luck to you on your journey! Just know that you're not alone, there's lots of helpful and supportive people here!
