Welcome Aggy. I love this group. Social media has so many different opinions and fad diets on becoming and staying healthy. It is great to see how this affects each one of us. I like to believe in a lifestyle change, balance, moderation, exercise, to fit into my daily life. I am 71, retired, so have a lot of time to work on myself. My best to you in reaching your goals . Being positive is the way to go forward. I try for 3 meals and 2 snacks. It doesn't always work, but I try to stay with it. What is your new eating plan?

Hi FlRetired, thank you for replying, I should probably have written new lifestyle/ sensible eating plan, I’ve never eaten junk food it’s portion control that I found difficult, and cakes are my downfall.I don’t follow any diets, I’m just eating the good stuff, home made soups salads, loads of fruit and veg, using different sauces to make it more appetising, I’m doing well so far and am looking forward to being in this group

The bottom line for me was to appreciate that even our fat cells play a...

I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital. I don't think that we will have her much longer. She is very frail. Now she needs help eating. So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying. I think crying releases toxins into my body. I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
