Overweight People

[wildthing]

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?

How overweight is "very overweight"?

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.

She's on a pension so won't be able to afford such a doctor.

Very "apparently"

I'm with you on this, wildthing. Be great to find some local motivation.

We're not all nutters!

Ps how about meeting for a curry to discuss (only kidding)

Thanks HelBel65 - I was starting to think I was the only one !

Hi Wildthing...there are lot's of free fitness groups in the what's on section that meet on average once a week for low level exercise. Worth giving some of them a try.
