Hello To All

I have been doing this for a while with My Fitness Pall, its great for counting calories and it knows what you eat in the end and finds it before you even type in the whole name, previously a few years ago did weight watchers and lost weight, but it came back again after I stopped doing it.. I have an underactive thyroid which makes it harder to lose weight. Plus I am short as well which dont help, and suffer with other health issues on top such as lower back pain. Losing weight when you are older is much harder. I do exercise as well, and also with weight issues you have to stay on it forever, otherwise when you hit your goal weight you go back to your old habits and guess what, within weeks all that hard work you did has been lost and you have gained it all back again, plus another stone on top. With advertisements of foods that you like does not make matters any easier, I am a sweet addict I guess, I like all the stuff that makes you fat, cakes, ice cream, puddings etc. and its always shoved in my face on tv ads and media sites as well. So I decided to just cut my calories down gradually week by week and exercise and see if that works. When I was younger I could eat anything and stay slim, thats not the case anymore.
