Unfortunately I didn't get to the doctor today as I wasn't feeling that great, but I've been in this constant back pain for over 12 years and never had any diagnosis from them just pain killers after pain killers but after losing all this weight (well I think it's a lot) I actually thought my pain would atleast get better…

I know what your saying Tea, but the only exercise I do due to my disabilities is walk and TBH since losing all my weight I seem to be getting worse as in the amount of pain i'm in, I think I might need to go back to my doctor as I thought after losing over 2 stones/28lbs it would get easier but if anything it is getting…

Thanks Tracy, that was so nice to hear :smiley:

Thanks Sarah, since that photo was taken I have lost 32lbs but unfortunately my weight seems to fluctuate between 22st 5lb and 22st 11lb which I don't get as i'm practically doing myself harm by overdoing the exercise to the point I can barely walk the next day. The photo's below are just taken today as a comparison.

Hi there, Thanks for asking I'm still here and still losing weight, I'm now down to 22st 4lbs which is 313.60lbs

Thanks Treehugnmama, I still get a lot of pain in my lower back and legs due to my disabilities but I find it easier to do a lot of things I couldn't do 2 or even 3 months ago so yeah I can feel the benefits of losing the 28lbs

Welcome to the community @krrobin3727 feel free to add me

Thanks everyone, The_Original_Beauty now that I look at both photos I can see what you mean it looks like I've been drinking hard alcohol in the 1st photo LOL and TBH I don't drink much at all

Hi there, I seen your heading and had to reply, like you I have limited mobility due to chronic back pain what brought me to start losing weight was I was getting chest pains and shortness of breath and the nurse at the doctors surgery told me I had to lose weight and here I am 2 months later and lost 26lbs by just…

@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

Here is a side by side comparison of me when I started my MFP journey 65 days ago when I was 24st 1lb, then at 23st 2lb and a few weeks ago at 22st 13lbs. I just need to get rid of my mega chin, anyone got any suggestions please?

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.

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.

Thank you

Thank you all for your kind comments and for following my progress, your all fantastic

@catgil554 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.

@ @hali1 Thanks for your kind words, I believe it was me as I did post something like that about 4 or 5 weeks ago, I do hope one day I can do more than the mile pain free one day :)

Over here you don't pay for doctors or hospitals as we have something called the National Health Service and health care is free unless you yourself want to go private but unfortunately I could never afford to go private. I've lost almost 2 stones which is 28lbs, and I do appreciate everyone's support on MFP, I could never…

Hi Joan, I've never been given a diagnosis of what is causing my back pain, I've just been putting it down to my weight as you do when your over weight and that is what doctors say as well. I went out a walk today actually managed to walk over a mile but my back is paying for it now as I'm in agony so will probably just…

Thank you, my Daughter said all I need to do now is learn to smile whilst taking a selfie LOL

ScotsLass I have to agree with you if it wasn't for the awesome people on here who have friended me I think I would've gave up in the first couple of weeks

Although it's not far to a lot of people it is to me and TBH i'm in agony now but feel like it's worth the pain as I couldn't do it before.

Thanks Jerome, I didn't know that.

Here is my Map My Walk for today, I decided I was going to do a route i've not been able to do in over a year as it involves going down stairs and up hill at the other end and I've been in too much pain with my back, but although I'm losing weight the back pain is still there but I did it and we took the dog and she had so…

Thank you Louann, I've just joined the group that you mentioned

Thank you Scotslass78, I don't think I could've done it without everyone on MFP's support
