Congratulations and well done. Wishing you continued success. :)

Sounds like you might benefit from seeking some professional help. I would recommend that you go back to your Doctor and let him or her know that you need some help with your weight loss. A counsellor may also help with the stress and depression as there may be some underlying issues that you are not aware of and need to…

Hey there Don't give up remember the reason you started this journey. I lost weight at the start by just making changes to my diet and decreasing my calorie intake. After a couple of months like you there was not further weight loss and thankfully no gain. So I started to introduce exercise, first gentle walking, brisk…

An Aqua aerobics class? Good luck :)

Welcome ladies wishing you all the best on your journey. Feel free to add me :)

Like you I just started with changing my diet, lost 4lbs and inches around my stomach, waist and hips. I started introducing exercise a couple of months ago with long brisk walks and some hikes. I have now increased it in the last three weeks with a 5k park run and treadmill running. I have now seen another 4lbs loss but…

Congratulations and well done you look fantastic :)

Check with your Doctor first might be an idea to see a physiotherapist. I saw one when I hurt my back. He gave me exercises to do in a swimming pool low impact but good for strengthening. I then went onto a Pilates class to work on building back up my core strength. Started with very gentle exercises and then progressed…

On the treadmill I use in our gym you can set it for interval training so it will increase speed lower speed add incline increase and decrease it. If at any time you find it too tough you can lower the speed and incline maybe look at something like this. If not start at .5 when you feel able push it to 1 and so on. Maybe…

I can find it intimidating sometimes walking into the gym, particularly going past the weight lifting section all the lads there lifting their weights, I feel like you I'm being judged as they all turn when the door opens but in hindsight I can see it is human nature to turn when a door opens or someone walks by, we are…

Sorry to hear you are struggling. As other posters have said I would encourage you to seek and get any professional help that you can. A few years ago I hurt my back and my knees where also shot to pieces so in order to get some exercise I hit the swimming pool. Apart from getting in some exercise I found it relaxing but…

You are very welcome if you need support and encouragement feel free to add me. :)

I can understand wanting to buy a dress a smaller size to help with motivation. If I see a dress in a shop I really like I would buy it but only one size smaller if I buy it two sizes or more I think I would end up upset and frustrated feeling a failure if I never got to that size to wear it. Why set yourself up to fail?…

Yes I eat bread for breakfast with beans or scrambled eggs. Lunch can be hard because we are so conditioned to eat a sandwich so I try omelettes with peppers mushrooms or and onions and a big side salad. Other snacks would be hummus with raw veggies, crackers and cheese, soups, lots of fresh fruit and natural yogurt,…

Hi Hannah I must admit I love my bread too I have just cut down on the amount I eat in a day as I could never give it up completely and I don't believe I need to. I am aiming for a balanced diet everything in moderation. I sometimes buy the make your own bread by just adding water in the supermarket and then add my own…

Take it one meal at a time one day at a time one lb at a time. Small steps one after the other and before you know it you will be losing weight. Don't give up. Need support and encouragement feel free to add me. Good luck! :)

Great job as it says keep going!

As an Irish person raised on spuds I find it hard to eat white spuds without milk and butter the way my dad has made them since I was knee high to a grasshopper. So for nutritional value, balance and an attempt at everything in moderation I will switch between the two. I find sweet potatoes a little too sweet so I cut them…

Hey Julie just tried to look at your food diary to see what you are eating so I can maybe give you some tips but I can't view it. If I am trying to increase my calorie intake I sometimes would have a bowl of homemade veggie soup, a two egg plain omelette you could add peppers or mushrooms to bulk it up, hummus with raw…

I agree with other posters check with your Doctor first make sure there is nothing serious going on. I don't use those trainers because like you I felt the strain on my knees but I think it was because I was using my knees to push rather than my feet if that makes any sense. Swimming if you can is great as it would be low…
