Hi there. Love to join this group. I turned 50 in January. Been off my feet since beginning of March due to an operation on my foot. Any suggestions for exercise would be great. I can't even go for a walk as after 6 weeks in plaster I now have a boot plus foot still very painful. . X

If you have only just started keep at it.. it really works.. Iv lost 29lb since June. You have to remember everyone is different and will lose at different speeds. Mine has been a long time coming off but its stayed off. x

Hi Sylvie, just make sure you count the calories in EVERYTHING and you will do it :-) good luck x and congratulations on your up and coming wedding x ps.. keep us posted x

Hi everyone.... I was in my 40s but turned 50 in Jan :-( iv lost 28lb since June... its been so long and hard to get the weight off as I have an under active thyroid as well... I have recently had an operation on my foot (2.5 weeks ago) I am not able to walk for a minimum of 6 weeks... any tips on the best exercise to do…
