Newbie needing friends and motivation.

I’m 55 and need to loose about 3 stone. I’m new at this and not great at using apps. Any help at motivating me will be greatly appreciated.

Hello. I'm 53 and struggling but determined. I would love to connect. Excuse my ignorance but what does 3 stones equate to in pounds? I have 80 lbs to lose.

I think i need to loose at least 45lbs but that’s being kind to myself! Lol
I’m really struggling. I can be ‘good’ for a few days then seem to fall off the wagon.

Hi- I started about 50 days ago and have lost 23 pounds.. I’m not gonna tell you it’s easy- cause that’s a lie, LOL. But it is doable and when you start seeing the changes in your body, you’ll feel amazing- best advice i can give is to absolutely measure out your foods so you have a good idea exactly how much you are eating (calories, MACROS) etc. I was probably eating 2500-3000 calories a day and wondered why my jeans were getting tighter and tighter. I was 180 when I started, now 157...and I’m probably the laziest person in the world (hated moving at all) but something inside of me just started doing this Tabata/Cardio/Circut training one day and now I’m addicted and working out, even light walking etc is a step in the right direction.. also understand “diets” are a fad and you are making a lifestyle change, take it one day at a time, and don’t deprive yourself, take one day to have a slice of pizza, etc, (once you start to see the calories in food,etc) you’ll be more mindful when eating anything and less likely to wrack up the numbers. Best of luck!
