Please let us know how you are getting on post surgery. Fingers crossed 🤞 everything has gone well. Wishing you a speedy recovery. I’m hoping to be accepted for bypass so any details that you can pass on would be amazing. Take care of you, here’s to a healthy future. Xxx

Thank you. I’ve not heard of that before so I will read up on that diet. I’m in so much pain tonight it’s 4am and I haven’t closed my eyes. Taken all my meds so it’s a case of wait until it passes. Sorry to hear you have pain issues too.

I couldn’t agree more. I’ve struggled with my weight most of my life. Back in my teens and 20s having a terrible case of self loathing, if I could go back and talk to that old me I would tell her she is beautiful and those few pounds are really not worth all the stress. My late 20s and 30s have been possibly the most…

Hi I’m Steph looking to lose a lot of weight, around 7stones. I too need someone to keep me focused and motivated to pull me up and hold me to account if I slip! Good luck finding the right person to buddy up with I’m sure you will achieve the success that you are aiming for.

You really need to be kind to yourself. I speak with a dietitian regularly and he often tells me that slow steady loss is much better for the body to maintain than a quick fix rapid diet. You may feel like 0.5-1lb a week isn’t a lot but you are actually doing a fantastic job. You will have reached your target before you…

Hi I am on the pathways program and need to lose 10% before they will go to panel and decide if I can have the surgery later this year. I have been told I am the right candidate and have lost 6% so far since Jan. Things have slowed down last few weeks but I am definitely going to get to my goal so I can get the go ahead. I…

41 from Chester. I’ve a long long way to go on my weight loss mission. Would love more friends in the same boat. Feel free to add me if you would like to.

Same! I am calorie counting at the moment need to lose over 100lbs so might start low carb for a bit of a boost as the scales aren’t moving very fast!!!. Add me!!

Hi I am on the pathways journey to hopefully get my gastric surgery if I can lose some weight before hand to show commitment then I can have the op my consultant says. I’d like to follow you on your weight loss journey to get an honest account of what it’s like post operation if that would be ok? Hope you are as well as…

I’m a disabled mum of 3 my hubby is my carer I am bedbound a lot of my time but if you would like a mfp friend add me! I love to chat and have around the same weight to lose as you. Maybe we can be motivational for each other

Add me! We can support one another. I have over 100lb to lose and have to dig deep each day to stay focused and on plan. Maybe we can find that will power and positivity together? You can do this believe in yourself

Happy to be added l need as much support as possible! Plus I love to chat ! Xx

Just a little tip is to eat slowly or slower than you usually do. It takes the brain 15-20mins to let the stomach know it is full (or other way round!!) either way the message is take at least 15 mins over whatever you eat to feel satisfied. It’s also about learning that satisfied is enough, we don’t need to feel full…

Wow wow wow. Absolutely fantastic I have over 100lb to lose and hope I can be as successful as you. I have chronic health problems that don’t allow me to exercise so am currently relying on fewer calories to shed the lbs. It may take me longer this way but I’m determined to do it. I am 41 in April and don’t want to spend…

Would love to be friends been on here for about one month. No clue how you add friends though I’m clueless

I’m with you I have the same goal for this year too. It might seem a lot but I will be breaking it down into more manageable amounts per month but there is no getting away from what I actually need to lose to be in a healthier range! What’s your plan? How are you going to reach your goals? Xx

I’ve just started a few weeks ago too would like be to be friends
