I just decided to stick to 8 stone 7 lbs because that takes me to a size 10 and because I feel good at that weight...it takes my BMI to normal and my waist to below 31 inches......good for heart health. I see my doctor once a year for a thyroid blood test and have never had any other tests ... I guess you all have alot…

I log on weight watchers by tablet or phone but as Iknow the we points of most of the things I eat I use Quick Add most of the time......... I like logging and I am sure it keeps me on track Jean

A good and sustainable plan will work for you ..... good luck! Jean

I too am thinking of getting a fitbit ...... Seems to be the way forward ...I love my pedometer but liking the sound of the extra incentive, challenges and competition with friends which I hear a fitbit provides Jean

I found playing the guitar stopped me snacking ....and I lost count of the number of cups of tea and coffee that went cold ..... Just forgot about them! Jean

A beautiful, amazing transformation! Totally WOW! Jean

Welcome aboard....... you will love it here and I am sure you will achieve your targets when you can get back to normal......breaking it down into small targets sounds like a great idea Jean

Welcome Emmietoby......most of us are on here every day ... I stick to this group of like minded and similar aged people...... we have the same problems and attitudes and support each other through thick and thin. Best place to be! :D Jean

Have to add....morning coffee.....every morning I walk a mile or so to town and meet friends for morning coffee and a natter........different people on different days...sometimes I am by myself but there are always people to chat to in my small town.....and I take my Kindle or a book or a crossword in case it's quiet! And…

Hi Dave..... I have recently got up to running 10k...not a race - just for myself..but for a 62 year old who has just been running for 7 months I am chuffed to bits with myself! Loving running! I'm from West Yorkshire too so good luck to a fellow Tyke Jean

I started running when I was 62....... last year.....my first 5k was 37 minutes and my best time is 34 ........ not races, just pounding the streets by myself

Great advice! :flowerforyou: Jean
-
Great advice given here...... I agree with all the points made....and would add to just take one day at a time...try to eat well and move more, wherever your baseline is, just do more activity...and each day - or each week - do more. If you have a good day it will spur you on and if you have a bad day put it behind…

Went to a new park to run...I usually chose flat/downhill courses as much as possible..this was tougher as the park was on a slope so was up and down to do a couple of circuits....... so no records broken but was pleased to do two miles!

Seems a few of us are struggling ... I have had a really good day today.........just hoping I can manage another three hours of staying up until the early hours to watch a bit of your Super Bowl........without eating anything else......planning on one more cup of tea, then brush teeth and then paint nails .... lol :love:…

It sometimes crosses my mind that I am setting my goal too low...but I really don't want to think that! It's an excuse I think to slack off..... and I have been four or five pounds lighter just last year....it has been since our holiday in Switzerland followed by Christmas.... I know I know....just shut up and get on with…

I took up running/jogging a month ago...I am 62 ... I started running for a few minutes during a walk and have built up to running between 30 and 40 minutes .... I tend to just run downhill or on the flat at the moment....... but I am consistently running four or five times a week and really loving it ...... had aching…
