Hi - I'm new to this so hope I'm not stepping on anyones toes.I have become very overweight over the past three years and am really uncomfortable with it. I'm hoping to find other men and women with the same dilema, I know all there is to know about healthy eating and would like to start a local support group with like minded people who want to exercise and encourage others ( can't afford a trainer at the moment ) anyone interested in joining?

Probably you will get lots of pms and this is just to say well done and good luck.

There is a thread on wrightwatchers in the family area of the forum. You might find it helpful. Lots of people post there about their weighing in sessions and, I think, gain from others' support and encouragement. Wishing you all the best going forward.

I wish you the best of luck!


I had a blitz on my weight in the new year, but sadly found when I lost the weight my face just looked more wrinkly :(


Another hideous downside of getting old.


Hope you find some people to do it with you. Keep us in touch with how it's going!

Somerset Maugham said that after 40 a woman had to choose between her face or her body. Today I think we can probably change that to at least 50 but the concept is sadly the same.........

I dunno about this. My mother is in her sixties, doesn't have any wrinkles and not overweight.

    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
    • It's not really though, is it. It's practical.  At least we're allowed Christmas lights.

    • I would recommend the Dulwich Test and Service centre that used to be in Hindemanns road and then moved to the little Trading Estate off Tyrrel Road. I've used them very happily for nearly 40 years. Paul and Reg Shires.
