Thank you. It’s so good and extremely helpful to hear other people’s stories. It makes me realize that other people struggle too and start and stop and give up and start again. I guess that’s all we can do, start again the next day and just keep trying. Thank you

Thank you so much for your positive post. You’re right, it is a journey and I guess my ten minute walk means I have started. I just need to do it again tomorrow. One step (walk) at a time. Thank you, I hope I can help you too sometime if you need it. I’ll keep you posted on my progress x

Thank you for taking the time to write such an inspiring quote and good on you for going too! I think if I had an app or something (can’t afford a Fitbit right now) that sent me messages saying ‘you need to walk for ten minutes now’ for example, I think that would really help, but I may just need to suck it up and get a…

I didn’t know about this kind of roller. It’s always great to get a recommendation. I take Sertraline.

Thank you so much! Your message made me smile and feel like I am not alone in my struggle.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I went for a ten minute walk today in the freezing cold. Nearly killed me to go out and do it! My knees are a bit sore but I did it! It’s not much but it’s a start! ☺️

That’s very encouraging

Are you on HRT? That really helped everything settle for me.

I’ve discovered grapes! If I eat a lot of them quickly I feel full and it satisfies my sugar craving. Hope that helps.

I’ve been on the FODMAP diet for 7 weeks now under the supervision of a nutritionist and I feel a lot better.

Maybe it’s just such a habit for him that he’s forgetting. It’s tempting once it’s there so it’s hard to resist it then when you see it. Maybe he just needs a gentle reminder?

As far as I know the ‘Eating Well’ range includes that info

Thank you. It’s late in the evening now but I’ll re read these messages again in the morning and make a start then and I’ll let you know how I get on x

Thank you, walking around the house is a good idea!

Thank you. Yes you’re right, getting started is the hardest part. Talking about it helps a lot and buoys me up to take that first step.

Thanks, great to get such positive input 👍it helps a lot!

Thank you, I really feel encouraged by this and the other posts. You’re right. It’s just getting started. I just need to think about doing something ‘today’ and not what I have to do for the next 6 months or whatever. I’m finding the replies I’m getting very useful. Thanks everyone 💕

Thank you 47Jacqueline

Brilliant result! How did you get started?

Thanks everyone for taking the time to post. I'm just going over all your posts again. Lots of ideas and I feel very encouraged. I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks!

Thank you everyone so, so very much. It's amazing how a bit of encouragement can help. I've started doing walking or stationary bike 3 times a week for about 30 mins. It's not much but it's a start. How do I get involved in the MFP daily challenge? Thanks again

I'm 47 and although I have a `BMI of 24 and am 5 ft 8 inches I still have a waist measurement of 38 inches. It's very depressing and as I've had early menopause (40) this hasn't helped. It's tough but persevere and you'll get there. I'm in a slump at the moment but it will get better. Please add me.

I'd like to start the C25K, i started a few weeks ago but then got lazy but i can try and start again! Please add me if you like!

Hi feel free to add me x

Add me too, I'm in a slump at the moment and need encouragement :-(

We all have bad days, it shows we are human ;-) On these days just enjoy the over eat and then start again the next day. Don't worry - you're doing great!
