I'm back (again) I have 10 months to lose about 20kg so I can look great for my daughters wedding and enjoy our cruise. No junk food in the house and growing veggies. Wearing my pedometer every day and aiming for over 10 thousand steps. and I joined the gym

Well that explains the last 2 weeks! I was blaming the Chocolate & Hot cross buns

Welcome, it sooooo much harder after 50, but exercise, drink water and cut out all junk food and you can do it!!.

Try Cinnamon and / or take Chromium (has worked for me) info from a Heath food website Chromium is a trace mineral required for insulin to work properly, helping sugar to move into the cells efficiently.

My cup size has not changed for 35 years and my weight has gone from about 130lbs to 200. Exercise can make them a little perkier! I am 50 and it still works for me

Pea's are a starchy veg, so eat in moderation. Snow Pea's, Sugar Snap peas, Green Beans, Broccoli & Cauliflower are better choices. Try a mixture stir fried with carrots and add a little low salt chicken stock

Mother in law once greeted me with "haven't you got fat?" after driving 5 hours with 3 kids. She is 5 foot tall and five foot round. how dare she? I bit my lip and did not respond! Some people are just horses arses! Karma will bite them on the butt one day!

Gotta be Paul Walker. My Mum is 70 and says mm he is quite good looking, I am 50 and hell he makes me feel much younger, daughter 30 thinks he is hot & so do my 19 & 12 year olds.

Sounds funny but the more water I drink the more I notice my thirst, Not sure why!

I have always been told Weigh yourself once a week same time same day before dressing. Remember that once a month you may not have a loss Daily sounds a little toooo??? When I started doing that I threw away the scales (and look what happened). My Admin Assistant weighs herself daily and is in her late 50's trim & gorgeous
