  • (This was about lap bands) If you're in the UK why are you worried about price? Surely, if you really need the surgery you will qualify under the NHS and they will give information and advice.

  • Depression certainly doesn't help me with weight loss! I try to make the best of it when I have good days and minimise the effects of bad days. I know the bad days will be there so my weight loss will be slower. I think acceptance of yourself - along with your depression - is important. It helps to rationalise your goals.…

  • 100% agree. Never give up. But be kind to yourself. I think you know that you got you where you are now. That's in the past. Forgive yourself and move on.

  • Hi Jamie, my first day today. I had a Jillian Michaels video but it has mat exercises in it and once I'm on the floor it takes me the rest of the video to get back up again! But I guess that's exercising too! :smiley: I work full time so don't really have much time for exercise. I've set reminders in my work calendar to go…
