I am originally from Glasgow but now live in Lincoln :)

I am disabled with a few ailments! I find it quite hard to exercise but my great grandson keeps me going! He was 2 years old at the end of August. I have 4 grownup children, 25 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. Started having health problems in 1986. I am on that much medication I am sure I rattle when I move! I…

I am a bookworm to but I read fiction/crime books! I am up to date with all of Kathy Reichs, Patricia Cornwell, Ian Rankin, Stuart MacBride and a few more! I started reading Karin Slaughter books but the first five or six were brilliant! Then she seemed to fade away after she stopped writing about Grant County. I can't…

Hi Danni, I am Margaret and I am in the Lincolnshire area! <3

I am an old mother, grandmother and great grandmother! I have 28lbs to lose and need help! I am also disabled!

Hi I am also from Glasgow. Which part are you from? :)

Hi Marie! I am Scottish but have lived in Lincoln, Lincolnshire UK for the past 33 years. My husband Colin is my rock! He looks after me! Does all the cooking and cleaning (I am disabled). I try and move about as much as possible! When we go out I have to use my wheelchair and he pushes me all over! Margaret x

You don't look your age Marie! I would have said you were 60-65!

I am almost 70 as well! Have been trying to lose weight since 1990 when I started putting weight on after I gave up smoking! I have only been on MFP since November last year and I have lost 26lbs. B) Good luck!

Hi Marie! I have been at a standstill for a couple of weeks now! The nurse practitioner put it down to my medication. I take quite a lot! My breakfast every morning is a sachet of big bowl porridge, 200mls of skimmed milk, tea and a banana. By the way my name is Margaret <3

It could be water retention! That's one explanation! I only weigh myself once a week! :)

Hi I am originally from Scotland but have lived in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England for the last 33years! o:) :o

My diary is open! Feel free to add me! o:)

I eat mostly the same foods every morning and lunchtime! It works for me! B) o:)

I am 67 and walk short distances with a walking stick but need my wheelchair for longer journeys! I have arthritis in nearly every joint and having problems with right hand and arm. I do as much moving about as I can and my hubby cooks healthy meals. My weight has come down a bit, but not as much as I hoped! :)

I am 67 and my grandchildren and great grandchildren keep me going!

When you have finished for the day you have "View Diary" after it. Hope that explains it ok!

My favourite is Asda! We do all our shopping there! It's only a ten minute drive away. When we are to poorly to go, I do it online and get it delivered next day. Brilliant

I did have a few years ago! Doctor put me on medication and my blood tests got better at every test! Then I didn't want to take the meds that's when he told me about a banana a day! Now my blood tests come back ok for potassium.

I was told by my doctor a bit ago and he said that bananas are full of potassium! So I have one a day and I don't need medication for it now.

I always count fruit and vegetables! They have calories! At WW on the Filling and Healthy diet they were free! On the 26ProPoints a day you counted them!

I get vertigo but my doctor said that it was coming from the back of my neck! I am on medication for it.

Hi, I am on 1490 calories a day and have an open diary. B) o:)

Buy an Actifry. They are very good when you want a very low fat and low calorie meals. o:)

When we eat out I mostly have Gammon steak with salad. I am from the UK. o:)

We bought an Actifry last year and it's a godsend! You can get the recipes online and they are all great and very low in fat. o:)

It's never a waste of time!

My main motivator is myself but my great grandson Drew is another motivation. He will be two years old at the end of August. My husband also motivates me when Drew isn't around.

I am 67 a mother to 4 grandmother to 24 and great grandmother to 14. I don't class myself as old well, not yet anyway :) <3 B)
