  • I tried taking a multivitamin as I wanted to see if B vitamins and magnesium would help my migraines. I didn't take one every day and after having several incidents of unexplained vomiting, I realised that it was happening every time I took one, usually about 15 mins after swallowing. I now just take one magnesium, vitamin…

  • You looked very toned and neat to me. If you still feel like you need to lose more, I would go for 10lbs then see how you feel. I find judging frame size tricky. I am 5ft 7.3ins I have small wrist 6ins and 5.75ins. My feet are uk size 4. This would mean that my frame is very small for my height yet my hips are wide and my…

  • I generally have some oatcakes not long before bed. I get acid reflux which can cause nausea. Eating dryish biscuits help.
  • I am making the assumption that I am perimenopausal due to feeling hormonal type moods swings only experienced in my early twenties before. I had a hysterectomy (ovaries left) at 39 so can't say for sure. I also have had a major increase in migraine and anxiety. My eating habits were a bit out of control in terms of carbs…
  • I was a little larger than I thought but would I think to guess accurately, the height of the women would need to be stated. A women with my statistics but taller would probably look slimmer and vice versa.
  • Knowledge is power! My weight loss journey started in my teens. From age 11, I was 11 stone and increased by one stone each year until I was 13. I had no clue about nutrition.

  • I find that the adding 5 inches to the under bust measurement, works best for me. I have a wide ribcage and not much fat on my upper body.

  • I have been reading a lot of books to inform me about menopause and stress and 'mindfulness' comes up quite often. For me, if I have more awareness in terms of what I eat and how it impacts on my health, the more likely I am to stay on track. I have lost about a stone just from trying to eat less processed and sugary…
