Hey Ala, I struggled with this as I was on medication that caused me to binge eat and I would eat the fridge. I dropped down to a lower dose but continued to over eat in the evening. The thing that has stopped me has been to exercise at 6pm to 7pm so I don't get home until later and have a later dinner, and I have filled…

A mini goal is to be able to fit back into my work clothes. I have a whole wardrobe of work wear and can't wear it. Another goal is rebuilding my strength after a knee replacement so I can do a pump class again.

OK late late rely but I am doing much better, had a few non started relationships, but they were to prove I wasn't ugly and I still "had it". I've proven that, and now I am taking time for me. My daughter finished high school and is now in uni, no thanks to douche bag dad, and I'm focussing on what matters, my happiness.

I started the year without resolutions, but I stopped drinking, I didn't do it consciously, I just didn't buy wine, started drinking more water, and didn't feel like alcohol, now it's become a habit and I don't feel like drinking empty calories to make myself muddle headed. I'm enjoying the clear thinking and good quality…

I started using CBD oil at the beginning of the year, so not really long enough to tell. I have psoriatic arthritis which is an autoimmune condition and take medication to suppress my overachieving immune system from attacking my joints. I don't know if CBD oil is helping, or if it is even legal in Australia... as my mum…

Hi all, I'm new to this message board, but not to battle with my weight. 10 years ago I had a skiing accident that debilitates me because a surgeon botched the reconstruction and left a screw sitting behind my knee cap for 6 months. I am now losing weight from the heaviest I have ever been, due to a combination of not…

all very inspiring pictures

Hey all, I'm 51, looking for inspiration and motivation. I've had 4 operations on my knee and 2 on my spine over the past 10 years. As a result, I've gone from fit at 40 to overweight at 50. I only weighed this much once before after I had my daughter at 31, and lost the weight with swimming and diet. I'm due to finally…

It's taken me a long time to feel attractive.

I like my eyes. They are a light grey-blue irises with dark blue outline and I get a lot of compliments about them. I'm also happy with my skin, although I hate being so pale, but fake tan just looks so...fake. I just embrace the paleness now.

Get to a healthy bmi. It's only 4 kg now... then it will be for vanity : )

I've always been slim until I got injured 10 years ago and was also put on meds that caused weight gain. I was diagnosed with more meds and gained more weight and I am slowly losing it again. It's a horrible feeling when I looked in the mirror and realised I was really overweight and none of my clothes fit, and my face was…

so inspiring. I have psoriatic arthritis, and I've found since going off some other meds I was on, my weight had started to go down, and with it my inflammation. I think the specialists throw medication at us and don't think about the impact of unhealthy diet, alcohol, being overweight has on hormones, inflammation,…

OK so I am back again, this time to get my isolation, Christmas and bad relationship weight down. Started at the end of December at 81.5 Kg, now am 74.3kg. My goal is to get under 70kg which will put me into a healthy weight range again. 5kg might not seem much but I am having a total knee replacement in may and every kg…

Get under under 75kg so I fit into my wardrobe

I find it strange that people blame the newer artificial sweeteners for everrything, especially cancer with no evidence. I have an anti vaxxer friend who can't even pronounce aspartame, telling me it's evils while her daughter gave my daughter whooping cough, and who I can't be around because I have an auto immune…

I'm here and I have psoriatic arthritis and grade osteo arthritis in one knee after botched acl surgery. People don't realise how debilitating psoriatic arthritis is. It causes pain in fingers hands, knees, hips and back and also intense fatigue. I focus on taking it one day at a time. My main thing is to stop comfort…
