UK over 60's

redgrandma

Are there any other over 60's ladies in the UK, or a UK group I can link up with?

I'm still quite new really, started in Sept and have lost 9 pounds so far, Its a brilliant site but I haven't made full use of the message boards etc and would love to make contact with other people for a bit of extra support to get me back in line after Christmas.

Happy New Year to everyone,

Hi Redgrandma:

I'm not in the UK, but my husband's from the UK...would that count? :-) I do qualify on the age thing, and I also just joined in November. The holiday season has been an enormous challenge, but fortunately I seem to have maintained without feeling deprivation. Had to budget for ONE small mince pie every other day!

Happy New Year, and good luck to us!

Hi there, thanks for replying, I have just read your profile and we have a lot in common.

My weight has crept up over the years too, I have never been skinny or really overweight either, but my 'normal ' weight 20 years ago was about 2 stone ( 14 pounds)lighter than I am now,.

I want to be able to buy clothes that fit and look smart , I'm sort of between sizes at the moment, going down I hope, some of my trousers have to be hitched up with a belt but I'm not ready for the smaller ones, YET!!
We have had such a cold winter in the UK that with so many layers of clothes no one is noticing what I weigh but I hope to reveal a new slimmer me in the spring!! I'm hoping it will help my aching joints too, I'm too young for all these elderly aches and pains which make exercise difficult.. I dont go to the gym but I'm always active and looking forward to getting out in the garden in the spring.

Good luck with your new year goals, hope to hear from you again, please add me as a friend if you would like to.
