Evening

Well, good evening everyone. Hope everyone is well.

Today was an epiphany for me. I caught myself hobbling along, puffing and panting, with aching back and ankles. Then I caught my reflection in a shop window and realised I had in fact turned into my mother. I've been overweight more or less all my adult life but now its starting to cripple me. Something needs to be done and done quickly. My husband was very overweight and he has lost a lot through exercise but apart from swimming and cycling I can't do anything at the moment without it hurting.

So enough is enough. That's it. I don't like the word diet. I think I'm just going to think before it goes in my head, only eat when I'm hungry and only eat what and as much as I want. I am a heavy drinker, and I know that doesn't help, but then I have psychiatric issues as well and I'm afraid sometimes only vodka will do. Downloaded an activity app. Already a member of the local gym. Have a home exercise bike. Bring it on fat. Its war.
 
Welcome to the forum Pixie!

I'd suggest you start by counting calories and ease into this - Start slowly. Most folks start by doing drastic changes and then get burnt out because they're doing too much too fast.

Really try to focus on consistency and adherence to whatever your plan is, and see this as a lifelong process rather than a diet.

Being flexible and working within your limits is important too.

Good luck!
