    Yay, I just weighed myself and i'm now another 3lbs lighter at 23st 10lbs, which is 323.4lbs, another 2lbs and I've reached the goal I set myself when I 1st started my MFP journey of 2 stones which is 28lbs by the end of September.

    I actually think I have been doing too much too soon, but when the practice nurse told me I had to lose weight they never offered any kind of support so done all this weight loss on my own.

    If you're back at the doctor/nurse, it might be worth asking what kind of support they can offer? I know not every surgery does offer it, but it's worth seeing if they have a weight loss clinic or something that can help support you? You are making incredible changes and putting in so much effort, but you might be able to get actual NHS supported help?

    It is a shame for you to suffer if you don't need to, so maybe they could offer some help with managing the pain too? I'm also not sure if it's an option (and sorry if you've already answered this before) but have you looked into water aerobics? That way you can move around but have the support of the water on your back and limbs?

    You are doing fantastic, especially when you're in so much pain - I hope there is something you can do to help ease it!

    AWESOME! WAY TO GO! Celebrate by buying a new pair of walking shoes, socks, sweatbands, shorts, whatever! You deserve it!

    ^^^^This! So true. Definitely something to look into! I have back pain and it makes me NUTS that I can't exercise but I CAN swim, pain free. And it's relaxing to be afloat.
    You do you though, whatever is working but your supporters hate to see a nice person who is actually trying to do something positive for his health be in pain!

    Well today I done something that I've not been able to do for over 6 months, I actually took a trip into Glasgow which is over 20 miles away and I honestly couldn't do that a month ago. So that is a huge achievement for me even though I was just there for about an hour.

    But in between resting on buses I walked for over 2 hours.

    @ScotsLass78

    It was good, apart from feeling anxious as I get panic attacks, was just in at the travel centre at Buchanan bus station but atleast I done it and TBH, I'm paying for it now LOL
