UK Friends & Support Needed

Hi Julia, always happy to help

Hi Julia. We sound pretty similar. I've spent my whole adult life yo yoing from slim to overweight. I managed to lose 2.5st in 2018 was really happy with how I felt & looked but back it came. I'm now about 10lbs heavier than I was to start with so would like to lose just over 3st. When I'm focused I'm pretty good at staying motivated with great will power but I've just got into that CBA attitude recently. Today is day 1 of my long journey again. Any friends to support welcome & helpful 😁

Sounds like my story!
Im 45 and l've always struggled with my weight have managed to lose nearly 4 stone in the past but have slowly put 2 stone back on which I need to lose and I'm starting today.. I need motivation some will getting adding 😁

From the UK here as well... I did add you. Please feel free to add me everyone

I'm 51, married and have a 15 year old daughter. I am originally from Canada but live in the UK. I have had trouble with my weight my entire life and have tried every diet which always ends badly with gaining the weight back and more. I have been on MFP for awhile but had left for years and now I am back. My starting weight back was 427lbs and I am currently (weigh in today) 361.8lbs I am very happy with my weight loss so far but think it would be great to meet new friends on here and hopefully inspire each other. I know I have A LOT of weight to lose but just trying to do it with small goals.

I am classed as morbidly obese and that title makes me feel ill. I have always hated it but had done nothing about it. I have type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea. I have very low mobility, not only because of my weight but it certainly makes it so difficult. I have had a knee replacement a few years ago and am in need of another on my other leg but have been trying to hold off getting it done as I am not really that happy with the replacement I have had. The knee is bone on bone now so wont be able to put it off much longer.

To make things worse I just lost my Dad 3 days before my birthday and while in lock down. he has been battling cancer for quite along time but things were starting to get worse. I started crash dieting trying to lose some weight to get on the plane to fly home. (flying at my weight is so difficult) We had just come back from Canada in August 2019. Once the cancer had gone to his brain we all knew there was not time left and then I was unable to fly due to the corona virus lock-down. This was the strongest, bravest man I have ever met and it just destroyed me. I still find it hard to talk about without completely breaking down but I am determined to lose this weight that has held me back for years. I only wish he could have been around to see me do it.

So sorry for the long post. In short, I have a lot of weight to lose and could use all the support I can get.

Determination is a form of strength which can be identified in various forms.
