That is an amazing effort. A pity about the lack of support. Keep doing what you have been doing. Who knows? You may inspire your family to get on board. Best of luck.

And I thought it was just me. I think I have come out the other side and still pretty sane. I can relate to the forgetfullness though. I am also a yoyo dieter and have lost and gained the same 5 kgs for years. Now I am finding it extremely hard to shift the weight. I have also bough new jeans and after 2 weeks I cant get…

I am grateful for being in good health, despite nagging shoulder pain. I can put up with that when everything else is in working order.

Feel free to add me.

I have also been "off the wagon" for various reasons. I have gained 4-5 kgs and feel slow and sluggish. I am back and determined to get back to goal. Looking for support, please.

I am in South Australia, so on CST, so would be waking up at roughly the same time. I am with you. Most people on the site are lovely, but the names of products gets me confused. Also the weights. It's been a long time since I talked ounces and pounds.

I was at the same stage as you a few weeks ago. It became a habit to have a wine or two every night. Then I would eat things that I knew I shouldn't. I had no control over it once I started to drink. I made myself have alcohol free days four nights a week, then five nights. I then found that drinking was making me ill. I…

Water the Flowers? I love it. How ladylike. My new favorite saying.

People don't tend to notice if I put it on, or lose the weight. Or they aren't game to comment. I must have an even spread of weight over my body. It doesn't just come from one area, to be noticeable. I would love to have someone comment on how good I look, because I am feeling great. A few pounds to go. Has anyone had…

Well done on the post. It's nice to read and have a giggle instead of all the Drama, Drama ,Drama. You made my day.

When you find out, let me know please. I have been wondering the same thing.

Any I have missed out on doing? Atkins New Atkins Body Sculpt Hip and Thigh Diet Lemon Detox Diet Kick start Diet Soup Diet 12 week body transformation Weight Watchers Clothesline Diet Fat Forever Diet Fat Blaster Pills Celebrity Slim Optislim And the list goes on....... I am much happier doing 1200 calories and…

Also 55 and menopausal. No period for 14 months. When can we say we are through menopause? I still have some minor mood swings and hot flashes come and go. I am convinced that exercise helps both. When the flashes get bad, I take sage tablets, but they are quite expensive and hard to get. I gradually put on weight, but…

Also 55 and suffering with tendon issues. Menopause has hit with a vengeance. Nobady told me that the weight is so hard to shift once you get into your 50s. If I had known, would I have had all that wine, or eaten all that bread and cake? I seem to go 1 step forward, 1 step back. I lose a bit and gain it back, then lose it…

Good morning ladies. Just thought I would jump in and say Hi from Australia. It is winter time here in a couple of days, and it is strange to read your comments about the warm weather.Good luck to you all with your weight loss. I am hoping that by the time our summer comes around I will be a fit, healthy and buff "Nanna".

Yay you. I have also learned that you need to find what works for you. It has taken me a couple of months to find what suits my lifestyle and what works for my body. Feeling fantastic, even though I have not lost a huge amount of weight. As my daughter says " strong is the new skinny"

It's funny, but I had an experience today that made me realise how different I am now that I am losing weight. I met up with a work collegue that I used to socialise with, even though I am there is a big age difference.. We got on really well and had lots of fun after work. She left to go on maternity leave and spent a lot…

I am 55 and have been having some symptoms, but nothing too drastic. My last period was 12 months ago (except for a bit of light spotting). I have had some hot flashes and night sweats, but they seem to come and go. Exercising helps keep them at bay. My main problem is also weight gain around the lower body, especially the…

Thanks for your help. I will try to find it in store.

The previous week, I lost .7kg (1 1/2 lb)

Can you tell me what 30 day shred you are talking about? I have seen a few different versions. Is it just exercise, or is there a meal plan to follow? How do I get hold of the information?

I was starting to think the same thing. My daughter pressured me to lose the scales for a while, so I did. I felt much better for it, and the weight started to slowly drop. I increased my exercise goal by 100 cals per session, but also increased my percentage of Protein. I think you need to keep juggling to find what suits…

What a great idea. I was blending fruit and vegs into a little water or milk to get a green shake. This way would help me get my fruits and help me get through some water early in the day. Also much nicer to take to work than a jar of thick green sludge, which gets comments from my work mates.
