I started my pre-op diet today as well but I have to do it for 4 weeks!!!

LOL I met my EX husband on PoF. He was quirky, but not in a fun way.. and after a few years of marriage I realised why he had been on PoF for so long... so I tossed him back in the sea!!

I wish I had a .25 dead end road with no traffic to train on! Id be out there every day.

Its amazing how quickly your fitness will increase! I am 280 lbs and when I first started I could barely manage half a mile, I felt dead after it and ached for the rest of the day and the day after! I am now doing 2 miles in 30 minutes about 3 days a week and hoping to bump that up to 3 miles over the next month or so- YOU…

How do you do zumba in a chair? Is there a video for this? :)

Hi Michelle, I am going to follow this as well as I am 36 and have the same with my back and hip. Every attempt at exercising seems to leave me crippled for at least 2 days :(

Sounds pathetic but I would like to be able to walk at least 2 miles by the end of April. I am still pre-op and 170 lbs over weight.

OK thanks for the replies :)

I like death and symphonic metal as well as cheesy 80's hair metal

I did go to see my doctor about 2 weeks ago, I admitted that I have been drinking to cope with the pain issues and that it wasn't really completely getting rid of the pain and the resulting weight gain is just adding to the problem. So she prescribed me Tramadol. When I got back home I decided to research Tramadol as its…

I dont have kids and even if I did they would not be neglected as a result of my drinking! If anything, these hypothetical children would be neglected if I didn't drink as I would be in so much pain I would not be able to do anything for them!![/quote]

My husband doesn't see me as an alcoholic.. which is nice.. but I know in myself that for me it is an addiction. I mean, I can drink A LOT and wake up with no hangover. I often think about when my next drink will be throughout the day (although I never give in until the evening). When I try to quit by the end of the 2nd…

Hi! I am due to have my gastric bypass either in april or may (my surgeon is currently off recovering from a knee operation so I haven't been given a date yet). I am around 270 lbs.. so a lot of weight to lose!! Add me if you want :)

Hi everyone! I am 36 and have chronic pain issues from arthritis, several bulging disks and rotated lumbar scoliosis.. not to mention being 250 lbs over weight. I had never heard of 'seated yoga' or anything like it- will definitely be looking it up. I am also trying to kick alcohol (have been drinking to dull the pain)…

This has really inspired me! I have been struggling with alcohol for the past few years, I drink everyday but never feel drunk, I just function on it. It has made me gain so much weight.. over the past 2 years I have gained nearly 100 lbs, which has only added to my other health problems. I know I want and need to quit…

Kind eyes

self obsessed!

Im in Yorkshire but dont have a fitbit!!

I definitely have chronic pain issues. I am 36, have arthritis throughout my body, made worse by my hypermobility. I've just started swimming again but even that hurts!

Hi Everyone, I am morbidly obese (love that term, thanks for rubbing it in!), 5'3, 36 year old female and just under 300 lbs (nearly 20st). I have severe pain issues from arthritis throughout my body, suspected ruptured disks in my back (MRI next week) which means I am slowly watching my mobility disappear. I am not a lazy…

Umm.. your frothy head ;)

50g jumbo irish oats, 200ml of unsweetened almond milk and a teaspoon of organic wildflower honey YUM

I aim for 50 carbs (not net), but Ive stopped losing.. I know I would start losing if I went down to 15/20 but I feel ill when I go that low :(

A 'butty' is what they call a sandwich in the UK, open faced is usually just the bottom slice of bread covered in the toppings with no top..

I chop it up in big chunky bite-sized pieces and add it to my vegetable chilli or to my chicken and chickpea indian curry :) Has a beautiful nutty flavour and adds another layer of flavour YUM

Depending on the level of thyroxine (thyroid hormone replacement medication) you can give yourself heart failure and other serious problems by suddenly stopping the medication (because you let yourself run out) There must be a way, shop around and get yourself insured!!! I am on 100mcg thyroxine and will be for the rest of…

This topic is dangerous!!! :embarassed:

I love the buttered popcorn they sell in the cinema and no store bought or homemade seems to do it for me in the same way... but it is nearly 1000 calories!!!! I have gone to see movies alot less in recent years.. and sadly the popcorn issue is one of the main reasons!!

Here in the UK I dont get much attention when Im out running... but when I visit my family in Los Angeles I get loads of whistling and comments - because Mexican men seem to have a thing for my small waist and disproportionately large *kitten* combo LOL

HA HA... that makes you a bad person lol
