I need to focus on low carbs too as I've been recently diagnosed as prediabetic. Anyone else on here prediabetic? I would appreciate some guidance and advice

I'm a Goldie oldie too Annliz23. I would like some online friends who would be willing to offer their support and I will offer my support in return. This is my 3rd attempt to lose my excess weight and help me get rid of my recent prediabetic diagnosis.

My daughter has weight issues, but if anyone, no matter who, disrespected and humiliated her as your father is doing to you I would go ballistic. No one has the right to make anyone else feel bad about themselves and I am disgusted and shocked that your own father's behaviour is so appalling. Please don't let him take your…

I would love to join this group as I feel the support and experience of people nearer to my own age would be very beneficial. I am 62 years young, I am a mother of 3 and a grandmother to 8.5 grandchildren, we have anther grandchild due in July.

Hi, I'm 61 years young and I'm back trying to re-lose the weight I lost early last year. I got down to 11:4 lbs then a lot of family issues stopped me carrying on. However, I'm back with a vengeance fighting the flab again and totally determined to get the weight off and keep it off. I went up to 13 stone, I currently…

I'm from Liverpool UK, last year I got down to 11:4lbs but then I stopped looking after myself and went up to 13stone. I currently weigh 12:5 but my goal is to reach 11 stone by the end of July

Thank you all so much for responding. I will definitely take up swimming again but also carry on with my walking. I do ache when I go for long walks but it's only sore for a day or two, which is ok. Got an air walker too, which really does work your legs, but I was a little over enthusiastic and paid for it with sore calfs…

Congratulations on taking your first step. You will find a lot of support and information on this site. Slow and steady is the way to go, it's not a race. Good luck x

Thanks Debra, I must admit I'm actually starting to enjoy my walks now. My husband bought me a Microsoft health Band for Christmas and I love it, it monitors all my steps, any exercise I do, it links to my windows phone and this app too. I live opposite a sports centre which has a pool, so I might try swimming or aqua…

Thanks Gary. You have my sympathy regarding your back issues, no one understands how extremely painful and debilitating it can be. I've had cortisone spinal injections 3 times, 1st one worked,next 2 didn't. My problem discs eventually fused together so I have very limited movement in my back. Have you had any physio,…

I'm in, I keep track of my steps with my Microsoft band

I'm 61 year old female with a degenerative disease of the spine, feet and knee problems whose aim is to monitor my food intake and walk away at least 28lbs. I'd like to reach my target by August as I've a family wedding. Is this achievable? Would love to join some like minded individuals so we can help and support each…
