Uk

Hi! I'm 36 from South Wales.. Started (again) on Monday. Taking it one pound at a time and aiming to get to my goal by the end of the year x

Hi, 60yo from Yorkshire, also starting again 😄

Hi, y’all. Not from the UK (could you tell, lol?) but am an Anglophile, if that counts. Have visited all your areas except Lancashire and Leeds.

I’m just popping in to say that, as a 58 year old female, your goals are attainable. I’ve lost 90 pounds and umpteen dress sizes, gone from an XXL to an XS.

But you need to set a goal and have a plan how to reach it. It would be really helpful to the others if you’d be kind enough to share!

I started out with a goal to lose 50 pounds. It seemed insurmountable. But I read every board on these forums to educate myself, and followed through in much of the advice. I set a calorie goal, using MFP’s calculator. I found visits to a registered dietician very helpful. And I planned to increase exercise by adding in walking, and sticking with the yoga classes I’d done for years. (I was the-awkwardly, in my eyes- fat yogi in the room, but glad I stuck it out. We are our own worst critics!)


Here’s some links that provide a great head start:

Ok, I’ll be back in a minute on another device to post those, because my user ID seems to have gone wonky.
