Weight loss

I'm with you farmgran in that I took a very unexpected hospital hit a few months back. Result is I've been trying to put on weight ever since with no success. No fun being a bag of bones! Oh for the previous old me!

You should to start compound exercises it will be demonstrate a visible result.

I am 58 and used Shake That Weight for a kick start. Replaced breakfast and lunch with their shakes for 3 weeks. Lost 7 pounds. It helped me break the snacking habit. I am 5 foot 2 so I know how hard it is when you are short. The calories add up fast.
Their banana shake is nice. Not chalky. Just do not stay on it too long. After the kick start I moved to normal food but smaller portions. Worth looking at if you want a strict plan to begin with.

We could do with a weight exchange couldn’t we?
For all the people who complain they are losing weight, I can report that I have found it !(and obviously I’m not unsympathetic, so don’t take me too seriously)
Any scientific boffins out there willing to explore the notion?

The NHS do an a very good online consultion. I can’t remember the name but it’s all about the psychology of eating and over eating and it’s really about cutting out processed foods There is a fee but lots of encouragement and help A family member used it and lost the weight and toned up without a gym membership and it’s stayed off They were pre diabetic and didn’t want to go on medication so chose this method It worked and all their medical stats are in the normal range now

I would say that you have to get your mind set in the right place.
I think that it is easy to feel you are being punished whilst on a diet. You aren’t, you are making a positive step to better health.
We are all on a diet of some kind, yours will just be a better one than it was before.

I keep my weight in check by weighing every day. I try to keep below 9 and a half stone - I am only about 5 foot 1 inch. My ideal weight would be 9 stone hut I've not been that for years. If my weight goes up I immedistely cut back a bit. I try and walk 5-6 miles a day.

All of these “tips” are very interstitial g and helpful BUT anyone here with mobility issues please?

I’m short and very overweight, I was a gym bunny and weight fairly stable til I developed both Fibro and widespread osteoarthritis, moving and walking are very hard.

It’s easy to say, “eat less, move more@, less easy to do so.
