I've been on the implant for 6 years. The first 3 I didn't gain any weight and I was fine. Second time round I gained about a stone! My gp said it's normal to gain weight on hormonal contraceptives I've only really been trying to lose properly for around 5 weeks, lost the first 7lbs easy but now nothing :(

Hi I too suffer with plantar fasciitis and it's a real pain! I see a physio one a fortnight who gave me lots of stretching excerises to do that have helped a bit. Also look into heel.cups they've been a life saver (I work in a shop so I have no chocie but to walk) As for excerises that aren't weight baring I cycling you…

Oh poo :( there's me thinking sickness would make the scales go down not up!

I'm slimming down for a friend's wedding in August too! I tried dresses on over early January and felt horrible in everything so my aim is to lose slowly and go dress shopping April/may time

I suffer from depression and I know the struggles of getting up and motivated to do anything is difficult let alone excerise! I found my body feels sluggish and though I don't eat much through a depressive phase my body feels like it shuts down. One thing I always do is shower and get dressed no matter how rubbish I feel.…

Oh I didnt realise I had replies! Thanks for the advise everyone. I've been increasing my cycling which the physio said would help to strength and stretched the muscles in my shins (will wait at see on thst one) Wore heels the other day for an evening out and it felt so much better! Unfortunately I can't wear heels for my…

Thanks for the replies! I've been suffering for over a year and it's pretty damn miserable. I'm a shop manager so my feet don't get a moments rest. I've tried all sorts of insoles but will look in the Dr scholls ones. I also have flat feet which I have orthotics for but the stiffness of them.makes the plantar pain…

Managing to curb my addiction to diet coke! I was drinking 3 or 4 cans a day, and wondered why i was so bloated. I haven't drank a diet coke for 2 weeks :D

^ Agree^ If you do have an intolerance to a food, you should try and still eat like normal, include the food in which irritates you. Intolerance doesn't mean you're allergic, it just means your body can't process large amounts of the food. This way you can find out exactly how much of a food causes irritation.

I'm never hungry enough to eat the recommended calories : / i don't want to force feed myself food that i'm not hungry for.

I wasn't hungry? I never go hungry.

Baby steps! People are on here for support not judgment on their activities so what you did 2 hours in the gym, to some people any exercise is a step in the right direction so good on them!!!

very traditional english foods for most of my childhood, all good home cooked meals. Very big home cooked meals

You should always aim to wake up at the same time everyday. So your body gets used to it. Even if you're tired you should wake up!

*wolf whistles* someone's looking fine!! well done that's amazing i actually pulled my boyfriend to the computer to look as well. You look so good!

naturally if you don't have much to get rid of, you won't see it budge quickly. I'm trying to slim down by around 10lbs, but i dont expect to see them come off every week.

also depends on the style of dress and where the alterations need to be made

Very close! SW: 134 CW: 130 GW: 115-120 Height: 5'6 Age: 19 :P

what gets me is if you go under you cals once someone on here will pop up and say YOU'RE IN STARVATION MODE ¬_¬ jesus christ it doesn't happen that quickly

I LOVE MY BIG BUM! <3

Holly Willoughby is my curvy inspiration. She's a UK 12 and looks stunning all the time!

Mines public but not very inspiring xD

Or don't drink? I've never cared much for alcohol but i still go out with friends. its fun watching others get drunk :laugh:

Went to a class today!! Learnt basic hand positioning and there were so many different shaped/ability girls there felt really comfortable. Been search for a pole for at home since coming back!

Try search high waisted jeans and see what you think. To be honest i'm not much of a fan but i've had a pair and they fasten up past the belly button

I was about to say River Island jeans are amazing fit. I think the sizes come up a little big as well, always good for a cheeky confidence boost!

My upper body strength SUCKS right now. I have a feeling it will be a pretty eventful first few sessions xD

My boyfriend finds it weird how i'm slender from shoulders to boobs and then from hips to feet. Then this spare tire affect around my tummy D:

I know mines flat feet. when i stand my feet look like flippers! I'll head into town later and see what help i can get there :)

Hey! Congratulations on the upcoming wedding! I'm a student too, student life has caused me to gain weight and finding time to exercise is hard! :) feel free to add if you want!
