Subject: Getting older and loosing weight

I am finding it near impossible to lose any weight, I'll be 56 in December and if anyone told me, when I was much younger, it would be hard to lose weight at this age I probably laughed but its coming back to haunt me.
I stopped smoking for several months but started again because of the weight gain but I can't shake off the weight I put on

.
I did go to slimming world and did successfully lose weight, I like fruit and veg, not mad about meat but could murder chocolate,biscuits and cake and all that kind of stuff, does anyone have any ideas

Trying very hard to oust the word ok from my vocabulary

Hi Polly,
Sorry to hear you're struggling! It is really hard to get going - do you do very much exercise? There are some really fun classes that will get you moving - my Mum really really likes zumba and water aerobics.

I think food is tricky but portion control is a really really good place to start. Try cutting out the sweet stuff or at least be stricter with how much you're having each day - eg if you have a piece of cake one day, don't have anything else naughty for the rest of the day.

I know the slimming clubs are really good too - moral support, regular weigh ins, meal plans to follow. I'm not a huge fan of the shake meal replacements but there are some that have specific things you can eat each day.

Best of luck and keep at it - these things take time
