It always seems such a struggle to lose weight, but so easy to put it on. One thing I would recommend is to have a protein breakfast - scrambled eggs or similar and a piece of fruit. Soup and/or salad for lunch and fruit and or yogurt and just fish or chicken and loads of veg for supper. If you are not working, maybe eating main meal at lunch time with light supper would be good as more time to work off food!
When I went to Slimming World, it was said that sometimes not eating enough stopped the weight from dropping off. Need to keep the metabolism going.
I can do the talk, but not so good at walking the walk!!! Which reminds me, I am supposed to be doing a daily walk to help down the bp and help the weight to shift!
Good luck

I have noticed in the last year that I have put some weight on that I don't want on my hips/tum/bum.

Today at the doctors the BP monitor said I had elevated blood pressure.

I already take BP tablets and really don't want them increased so I must lose some weight.

What tip would you give to get me back on track. I am not a big eater just one who grazes on units and fruit and occasional chocolate.

I need some encouragement. smile
