Yes I use prayer all the time. Food is such an issue for me I have had this problem since I was 18. It's always been a battle. God has enabled me to conquer many damaging areas in my life but food and being overweight is still an issue. However I do feel stronger than ever before. I have set a target to be at goal this…

Glad to see your back! :smile:

Yes I am 40 + and like you need all the motivation I can get! It's not an easy road were on but I'm determined to get my weight off by December this year. I have managed to lose 1stone 5lbs so far but it has taken ages and I exercise 3 sometimes 4 times a week. I seriously need to adjust my diet, today I am taking out…

Sorry I was responding to Leann this is all new to me!

What a fabulous response, I am just learning this! Thankyou for your words of wisdom.

I too have a long journey ahead but its always good to set some goals. Small changes eventually make a difference. I am learning that slow and steady wins the race. Take out a red light food mine is cheese I have stopped buying it. when you've mastered that maybe remove or cut down on another problem food. Tryto add some…

I have been advised to cut my salt down, as too much retains fluids. I have had to cut out crisp as they are loaded and of course like you said its hidden in so many "innocent," looking fooods." All the best!

I would love to be friend I am heavier than I've ever been in my whole life and like you am determined to tap away at this until I reach my goal weight. All the best in your journey, you can do it! I'm a teacher too!

Sorry I was responding to what hot wheels said.

Sounds like very sound advice! Congratulations by the way and enjoy.....

Congratulations on reaching first goal! That must feel great.

I'm new to this site but would be happy for you to add me. I'm hopeless at losing weight but maybe we can just motivate each other? I am as size 20/22 and am sick of being overweight. I've been battling with food for 38 years it started when my mother died, I was just 18. Hope to hear from you and all the best! Carrie.
