Just turned 49 so Back Again for the Big 50 push.

Hi from the UK. I have been yoyoing all my life with weight, best I got down to was 16st only to put all of it back on plus some serious extra change :( now at 24st. I am drinking way to much, also prediabetic (which I have managed to stay the right side of) and just recently turned 49! So here I am again trying to get a handle on shifting my life style and beating this once and for all. I know it will be hard and I will have low points but really sick of being fat and living the life of of an over weight unhealthy person, I have even got my self an allotment to help grow some veggies and try get me working outside and not sat behind a screen. If anyone wants to friends me and share our ups and downs would be great!
