Hi All

Hi my names Roy Andrew, I'm 52 years old married with 2 grown up kids, I live in the Tyne and Wear area.
I really would like some help on loosing some weight, I am currently 17st 8lbs I'm only 5ft 4" and I am struggling a lot with my mobility and health lately.
Hope someone can help me loose some weight.
Thankyou
RA

Hi Roy,

Welcome to MiniMins!

Have you thought about doing a food replacement diet?

The reason I mention this is that if you are not able to exercise a food replacement diet will help you lose weight quickly and give you the motivation to keep going.

If that sounds like too much, you could consider joining one of the weight loss clubs like WW or SW etc.

Have a read at this link below which will help you make your way around the forums and if you need any help please ask.

Look into the different diet forums and I am sure you will come across a diet that appeals to you and will suit your life style.

Thankyou Mini, I'll have a look.

Hi and welcome. I come from Tyne and Wear.

What type of diet do you fancy trying?

Hi Irene, I did try the Weightwatchers diet back in Feb 1995, my start weight was then 15st 10lbs and I lost 21lbs in 9 weeks. But I didn't keep it up due to my friend jacking it in, we were doing it together and when he dropped out I lost all motivation, also I was a lot fitter then and I was doing some boxing training. I've joined a local health club recently and I'm just doing a bit of very light exercise and swimming a bit, maybe I should try the Weightwatchers again eh. Thank's for talking Irene.

Hi Roy,


You were very successful with WW as 21lb in 9 weeks is excellent!

I think it would be worth giving it another go.

Breaking out of the comfort zone is never easy...

The only way to get motivation is to begin and if you have a false start to keep moving forward and gradually it gathers momentum with each pound lost.
