Need new friends for motivation, am supportive of others so add me if you need this too!

I used to be a vegetarian, since I was 12 and then became pescetarian when I was 30, so now eat fish. The thing you have to be careful of is that you get enough protein as it is harder to do that when you don't eat fish or meat. Protein helps you feel fuller for longer so you could end up eating more carbs etc just to try…

My children said to me'mummy's got wobbly bits' like in the children's story books about 'The LArge Family'(story books about a family of elephants)

Would love some friends who are genuinely interested in motivating each other to lose weight and get fit!

Thanks h, sounds like good advice.

I'm definitely sticking to the calorie deficit, so 1200 calories max even if I burn more by doing exercise, have mainly been doing loads of fast walking so far. It is working but I think I need to do more. Think I will be rubbish at running but will give it a go, just hope it's not a complete failure! Am just starting out…

Thanks all, that's really helpful. I will definitely try the squats and lunges and keep going with the diet. Would running be the best cardio to help fat burn alongside the squats etc for toning?

Thanks that's useful :)
