Agreed. The odds aren't in her favour, unfortunately. .

The sad thing is I doubt Contreras and Aragon truly believe they've done anything wrong, deep down. Greg Nuckols, on his Facebook page, pretty much disowned Contreras not so much for his treatment of his former partner but just for being a generally not nice person. It was the straw that broke the camel's back, after he'd…

Thank you for this thread. I'm 51 and been perimenopausal for a few years. My sleep has been affected (which messes with my weight) and I get hot flushes occasionally as well as decreased libido. Still getting periods but currently on day 57 of my cycle and my boobs have stopped feeling sore so the next one is due very…

I should clarify that I used MFP to lose that initial 40kg. It was easy, I loved it and had good success. But it became a bit of a chore after the first year or two, I got bored with it. No doubt I wasn't tracking as honestly as I had at the start (which is really common, everyone does it. It's one of the well recognised…

I've been on here for about 8-9 years (different account, lost my password a while ago so started again). I lost 40kg of the 60kg I needed to lose over two years, came to a screeching halt with increasing hunger, diagnosed with high blood pressure and Hashimoto's and could NOT lose any more. Regained 18kg in fact. That was…

. No, quite the opposite. It has the best long term (>10 years) weight recidivism statistics of any treatment we have. I wish that it weren't so, but it's why I went with a sleeve after losing 3 lots of 50kg (your 100lbs, I think?) over my lifetime, each time regaining what I'd lost plus more. I was getting older, always…

That weight loss surgery doesn't work. It does. It has by far the best statistics for long term weight maintenance than any diet or exercise regime currently available.

I so love this reply (bolded). I cannot abide Pete Evans. In a country that has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, this man advocates strongly that people do NOT wear sunscreen. He used to be a strong Paleo advocate, until he found his next fad, keto. He had a book taken off the market because it…

I had a sleeve in December 2015 after losing 40kg (80lb?) naturally. I still had another 20kg to go after that but stopped losing weight, started to put it back on in fact. I was in a sad spiral that no matter what I did (I'd lost my weight using MFP but my hunger was constant and hard to control, what I'd been doing…

I'd add Sohee Lee, who I follow on Instagram. She's all about sustainable diet and exercise habits, all backed by research. She's a protege of Bret Contreras, whom I admire greatly.

Townsville, in north eastern Australia where it was so humid this morning I had to turn on the airconditioner to stop the fire alarm from going off continuously :-(

Thought I'd posted on this, but I hadn't. I'm 49yo, from North QLD. Had weight loss surgery in 2015 after losing 40kg on MFP and then regaining half of that again after being diagnosed with hypothyroidism and just losing heart. Reached my goal weight of 80kg (I'm tall) in February this year. All up, I've lost about 80kg in…

North Queensland, Australia (near the top of the east coast of Australia) HW: 141kg (310 pounds) SW: 118.6kg (261 pounds) CW: 89kg (191 pounds) GW: 80kg (176 pounds) Surgery 9th December 2015 (or, written wrongly as you people like to do 12-9-2015).

Would love more Australian friends, preferably who've had a sleeve and are a few months post surgery. Please read my profile before adding me :smile:

Not necessarily. I found this article really helpful. http://www.vox.com/2016/4/28/11518804/weight-loss-exercise-myth-burn-calories?utm_campaign=vox&utm_content=feature%3Afixed&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

I'm in north Queensland and had weight loss surgery last year. Would love more friends but only if you're cool with the surgical option, otherwise we probably won't get on :smiley:

I've been drinking diet soft drinks since the mid eighties and in that time, I've lost and gained 50kg (~100lbs?) twice. It's not the bogey man people make it out to be.

Well hello! I'm being sleeved on the 9th of December this year and would LOVE some new friends who're in the same boat. 47yo, live in North Queensland, have previously lost 40kg on MFP but am slowly putting it back on hence getting WLS. I'm so over diets, being hungry and feeling guilty about gaining weight. Overrrrr it, I…

Meh, I'm 47, 5'9", female and have recently dropped my calorie limit to 1200-1300. I've been on here since 2012, started off on about 1700-1800 cals and lost 30kg in two years. Stopped losing last year and had a bit of a meltdown, stopped logging and put back on some of what I'd lost. I do spin, some Les Mills strength…

I'm getting back into running after an injury and have been doing jog/walk intervals - the jog part never stops until a car passes me, though. Can't be seen to be whimping out and walking, nosirree :D
