    Happy to help. I lost three stone back in 2007 - it wasn't easy and I too fell flat a few times but I persisted and it paid off. Having now gone through the menopause need to lose the stone and half that I've put on. Want to drop a dress size at least.

    It's not too hard to figure out. I lost 60 lbs here and still here working at maintaining. There will be a few speed bumps on the way but just stick with it and make it a priority. It can be done! Feel free to ADD me if you like. I am on here daily still. It's what works for me. :)

    Welcome to starting over - I'd bet some cash that a very large percentage of us have been there. Myself included. Best of luck and please be patient. That is the HARDEST part for me. It's not the exercise or eating well - it's the patience. When you lose that, you might as well prepare to fail. So hang in there :)

    Thank you. That's my problem too

    Yep been there done that. Shed 3 stone (40 pounds) about 4/5 years ago, put most of it back on again. Now aiming to shed 28 pounds before June. I know what you mean about hitting a wall but I think the thing to do is, if you have a bad day, it's just that, ONE bad day. Don't let it derail you (or me for that matter). Post menopausal now and 59 so I know this won't be easy, but I am going to do this. After all it's not rocket science - eat less, move more - yes I know sounds easy, I know it's not! Come on everyone we can do this xxxx
