I'm now retired but was a journalist for 39 years then Director of Consumer Affairs for an international company, running consumer education campaigns explaining credit, debt, identity theft and data protection law to consumers. I'm nearly 65 and have been overweight for several years. Two years ago I lost three stone, but I've put most of that back on now. I meet my grandson from school every afternoon and look after him for around three hours, so that is keeping me active. And we have had a little rescue dog for the past two months whom I walk every day for about an hour - so getting some good exercise there, too. I live with my (slim) husband in the south of England. I am aiming to lose at least two stone in the next three months.
