Hello there, Firstly, I feel for you and understand how frustrating it can be. I have suffered from constant lower back pain for about 3 years and last year was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease in my lower discs. I, like you, get flare ups all the time and have to be really careful with what I do - which is so…

True, I realise I'm being slightly irrational, think it's just imprinted in my brain that seeing weight gain on the scales is bad. Need to just do it!

Thank you very much for the advice and helpful tips! I think there are definitely a few things I can switch around and do more of to hopefully shift this plateau! Once again, I am very grateful for the moral support here on the message boards!

Thanks very much for the posts, the article about the plateau is really interesting. I can see that I could definitely introduce strength exercises which will hopefully help me out a bit and I think I will have a play with my calorie intake. 6 months has been a long road and I do occasionally have a 'break' day but it…

From what I've learnt, it's best first thing in the morning!

Hello from Brighton! Feel free to add me too :)

Thanks everyone! :)

Although my trouser measurements weren't so satisfying, I managed to fit into a small size work shirt. First time ever! :)

Ditto! Feel free to request me if you want to!

Thanks for the advice everyone! Will see how it goes today!

Thanks guys, it's so lovely to have such a supportive group here.
