Hello!

I'm new to this board as well and similar age to you. I'm 39 years old. I started my diet and gym training at the beginning of April and so far have lost 4kg. I'm 5ft tall and my start weight was 89kg. Now down to 85kg. Still have a long way to go.

In the past I have tried starvation diets which have worked for brief period. Only I would pile on the weight afterwards. So this time I have just decided to eat healthily and to exercise regularly.

I joined the gym back in April and this is what really motivated me to start a diet too.

Have you signed up to this site I find it really good for keeping track of the calories consumed.

Anyway good luck and keep us posted of your progress.

Hey! welcome!

I've yo-yoed a lot too but that was when the changes made to my life in regards to loosing weight were temporary. So when I lost some weight I'd go back to my old eating and sedentary habits.

Good luck on your weight loss!!
