Yeah I think you should maybe get a general check-up from your GP (local Dr) to be safe- the thyroid thing is one possibility. You say you are eating regularly but are you eating good healthy slow burn foods like wholewheat stuff, oats, seeds etc? What's your lifestyle like? Are you working flat-out at a job/caring for…

Hi, well done on losing 11 lbs, and on resisting all the seasonal food that's around! I'm no expert on diabetes, but I do know that exercises where you get your arms above your head (eg with some weights in 'em) raise your heart-rate. So if you can stand and eg squat you should be able to do some fairly aerobic stuff. Was…

Hi, Firslty, sorry to hear you lost your Dad. My mum died of cancer when I was 26/27 (whe was 57). You know grief is pretty difficult to "control". My boss signed me up for counselling and I nearly didn;t go because I was in denial and didn;t think I needed it, but I went anyway and spent the whole first two sessions…

Well I hate to be cliched but what's that saying, "the journey of 10,000 miles starts with the first step". Try and focus on the first lb, congratulate yourself, then the next lb and the next lb. I'm gonna break my weight loss down so that I focus eg on getting under 12st. to start with, then the next half a stone and so…

Hi, Firstly, know that sugar and refined flour etc in white pastry give you a fast "high" and so are pretty addictive. That might help you get a handle on why you are craving them. Secondly you are gonna have to try and replace them with something healthier like fruit. Make sure you get in the kind of fruit you like, even…

I think you're right. I think an unhealthy relationship with food is like a kind of addiction, except you can't kick the eating habit or you die right? My advice to you would be to stop dieting and get off the whole crash/boom thing because the swings from high to low are v damaging (I used to be on that). I would focus…

Yeah most yellow cheese is 40% fat +. You could try cottage cheese though. They do low fat versions and it's good with chives.

Better role model as parents good motivation. I have a 1 yr old boy and am already wondering if I may be teaching him bad snack habits in between meals. No point beating yourself up though eh? I was also teased and bullied about my weight at High School - one way to get low self-esteem for life eh? Although I don't think I…

Wow! 57lbs, really? Wow! Good for you! Snacks - Oatcakes (they're Scottish, so don;t know if you can get 'em). Dr Karg crackers with pumpkin seeds and emmenthal cheese. A nice crispy apple - your favourite kind. A plain youghurt with some dessicated (dried) coconut sprinkled on top.
