When I was 387lb my sister told me I should stop eating and just drink water for 6 months to lose the weight (and my life obviously if I did that) Sometimes we need to ignore the fact they are family and refuse to listen to them

I weigh daily so I see the fluctuations In the week leading up to shark week I can gain up to 7lb 2 days before it starts I drop a pound or two and the rest leaves by the day after it stops

Eat whenever you like but try to finish eating before falling asleep, bit of a choking hazard

I have a designated friend to keep me honest Im a daily weigher, I like the data. I text him the number in a morning...... He knows if I stop messaging that I'm doing badly and to give me a shove Ironically if I'm ranting about unexpected weight gain he's the first to remind me to check my totm cycle 😂

It's a question for your medical team hun I lost 4 stone in my sons pregnancy (25 weeks) but it was due to me being very ill despite the hospital trying to feed me hourly If the nausea is preventing you from eating enough they can prescribe medication

I had a dexa scan but to check bone density? But if your weighing all solids, measuring all liquids and despite sticking to a deficit your not losing anything 6 weeks later then it would be time to visit a doctor and have some tests run

Really? I have pernicious anaemia and they've given me it several times, last time was the birth of my son, was on it for hours...... Became so ill in the weeks after I ended up in hospital 10 miles away from the one my son was in 🤦🏻‍♀️

My heaviest surgery was at 387lb with blood pressure at heart rate through the roof They gave me some sedation hoping to calm me down and my numbers settle..... Didnt work, my heart rate always ran that fast back then Coming round was fun, I woke up screaming (pain) and anethatist didn't want me to have pain meds due to my…

I'm in UK and also on sheilding (my daughter only has 1 damaged lung) I get YouTube on my TV and follow Leslie sansone walking fitness She has some 3 mile walks, they are pretty simple to follow I also have an elliptical and an indoor bike We have a large trampoline in the garden but I'm a bit dubious about my weight on…

Just over 30k in 2017 It was before my arthritis flared out of control I hiked alot that summer with my toddler strapped to my back

I mainly eat plant based whole foods for health reasons (I don't eat meat, fish, eggs or dairy) But if I choose to eat a little processed food on occasions its no big deal

I've been on lockdown with two disabled kiddos for 8 weeks now My government has my family on the sheilding list, currently they say with have to stay in the house until June 30th at the earliest I did go off the rails for a month as I kept getting calls from my daughters medical team to remind me she will most likely die…

I like books, good ole cookbooks My favourite at the moment is "dirty vegan" Made the mushroom pie from it last night, went down a treat with my daughter

I'm loving the recipes in a book called dirty vegan

Hey there, I'm in a similar position to you Were on sheilding (cannot leave the house at all) because of my daughters lung disease (1 damaged lung to breathe on) both my kiddos are special needs so fitting in exercise is trickier I have an elliptical and stationary bike I use when they are occupied, eating etc Another…

I was an underweight child of obese parents. We ate alot and it was all crap nutrition as my mother couldn't cook so we ate processed chicken in bread crumbs with chips most days, always fish and chips from the chippy on Friday as we lived in a seaside town and it was real cheap (99p for fish and chips) We were active…

Have a look into low fodmap foods if you feel something in your food is causing you to feel ill Ideally you would have a chat with your doctor and a registered dietitian about your concerns, usually they would ask you to do a food diary of what you ate and how it made you feel so they could help you pinpoint which…

I have two hands. One to get food to my mouth and the other to scroll on my phone

This year? I'm a stress eater. I did well until beginning of March when my daughters respiratory consultant rang to really ram home that if my girl catches corona she won't make it so get in the house, don't see another living soul and keep steroids to hand to whack in to her at first sign of a cough and do not set foot in…

Oh and if you have a reliable friend ask them to be honest about your clothing I had a UK size 32 dress that I adored, from the front it looked good even 5 stone down, I wore it alot in public..... Until a woman collared me and asked did I know its bagging open at the back and everything's on show 🤦🏻‍♀️ I tried on all my…

I only "see" the changes when I look through old photos I used to weight 387lb, currently at the 230lb mark but there are lots of days my brain tells me I'm fatter than ever

Dousing your food in disinfectant before eating? I follow a WFPB lifestyle due to my health, folks throw phrases like clean eating at me as though its an insult, don't care Won't use the phrase myself because it's poncey

Currently Bmi 43 RHR 61 But that's vastly different to when I started BMI 70 RHR 124 I was a heart attack waiting to happen My doctors gave me 5 years to live

My fitbit does the work for me but it logs it for me, usually as aerobics

Early stage, crampy and constant vomiting First trimester, fear, pain, vomiting Second trimester, terror, pain, vomiting Never made it past 25 weeks even with medical intervention So labour is pain, had a cervical stitch rip though my cervix with my last pregnancy Also fear, grief, praying to any deity available and then…

Im in the UK, my daughter is in the sheilding group thanks to having one working lung thats damaged and structural issues in her airway Eating wise weve always had our shopping delivered. From next week theyve said i cant have our slot and weve had to just accept what has arrived of our order Im still cooking and trying to…

Home Because I have two SN kids so can't get to the gym I drop my son to school at 12, rush home, exercise for an hour and a half, shower and rush back for him 😂

Depends for me Used to be over 100 and often closer to 120 at rest when I was at my biggest Usually now it's between 60-65 if I'm eating right and exercising, drifts up 10 beats if I've slackened off for a few weeks Other times my resting heart rate goes back to the 120 at rest is if I'm in pain or having a hypo I now if…

The ones in my house are bad. If I eat too many of thier friends they sew my clothes up tighter

My granny was one of those who went nuts for sugar post war She baked cakes, biscuits and scones daily. She was a little overweight but I think the only reason she managed to keep away from being obese is she loved to feed the community, gave away trays of stuff to neighbours and had an open door policy for people to nip…
