Hi Everyone!
From reading this forum it’s obvious that a lot of people have managed to reach their weight loss goals and found the support they needed from other forum members.
I therefore feel that I have come to the right place and hope that I can get some much needed advice.
I'm a 54 year old married bloke and I'm at least 2 stone overweight. I'm 5'8" and 14 stone.
Last year I managed to get down to 12 1/2 stone and felt a lot better for it but...since the beginning of this year my weight has been relentlessly going up and I’ve had to get larger trousers (size 38):sigh:
There were periods when I know I was eating all the wrong stuff (dry cream crackers!!!!)but since May I have been watching my diet and exercising more but haven't seen any results yet.
Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?
I don't drink a lot of alcohol, if I do it’s beer and I probably have about 1 or 2 pints a week on average.
I don't do sugary, fizzy drinks
I don't have sweet puddings
I avoid eating lots of potatoes, rice, pasta, bread, pizza, chips, pastry, crisps, crackers, chocolate, etc
I rarely eat anything that’s been deep fried and tend towards green vegetables and lean meat.
I go for a bit of a run on most mornings and do a few press-ups
So…if I were doing all the things the obesity advisors suggest that we avoid then I would know where to start but I tend to think that my diet and activity level is reasonably healthy.
Anyone got any suggestions on what to do next?
