This photo was taken in 2008. I was over weight before that I stayed like this for about a year. Put ot all back on when pregnant wirh dd who's now 15. I have been a size 18 since then. I would like to be slim again. But im not sure if i can . I want to make it a positive challenge. But at 48 is there much point.

Exactly.

Wrinkly skin can't kill you.

@NeedtosoundoffandbreatheI’m not sure it’s gone down that route really. There’s a couple of people have mentioned it but there’s also many like me who have done it without injections etc. The point is calorie deficit, healthier eating and lifestyle and keeping it going as you say.

The thing about eating - I discovered that a) I was underestimating calories in food a lot, this is very common. Even if I have been counting my calories since I was a teenager. and b) I need to eat a LOT less. Took a while to get used to the teeny tiny portions. They had been creeping up, as I was eating similar portions to DH and growing children. Middle aged women do not need that much.
