Great thread I was reading a site the other day for women who have lost weight and one of thier suggestions was when trying stuff on in shops always add one crazy wild thing in a colour you never wear and mostly it wont work but sometimes it is magnificent. So today i did just that and it was so much fun! Having lost 68…

Hello I watch my calories and log every day. I try and pack in as much nutrition as possible so nothing is wasted and am constantly trying to refine and upgrade the quality of what i eat cos damn it it has to be good - a bit like me in the past trying to sqeeze a lot into a smaller pair of jeans! But it is interesting and…

I love it! Poor old medical profession I think they get so used to patients not losing weight they are in shock when it happens. I take a lot of pleasure when my GP shakes his head in admiration and says I am his first patient to lose a lot of weight 68lbs so far whilst on steroids. Oh yes baby patient power!! There is a…

I too needed to do more than eat less move more and got help from others and for me too this is the first time I have kept the process going - 66lbs and counting. - half lost pre mfp. Good nutrition was really important for me every calorie had to count not just fill me up and I think that contributes to the feel good…

Many congrats It was really interesting to see your stats and get your view on the ups and downs of weigh ins just so what I needed to hear today I agree with you about how folks put on weight it doesnt mean we are all stuffing donuts just slightly overeating for a long time. Ii too am concluding this is a forever prog if…

Thanks for your response that really makes sense Best wishes to you

Soinspirational I have a similar amount to lose as you and am nearly half way there so seeing the difference it makes really helps Keep me going Can I ask about how your loss changed over the months? So far mine is pretty consistent though I seem to lose fortnightly as opposed to weekly ie 3/4 lbs one week and then nothing…

Similar to fibro on the pain etc and taking steroids I have been trying ti lose weight seriously well with a few laughs too since oct 10 and have lost 63 lbs so far Most of this has been through plain old fashioned calorie control as to begin with I really couldnt do exercise and still dont do anything too…

Your best bet is to google antiinflammatory diets and you will probaly get a guy called Weile come up who is a good introduction but there is a lot of info out there. Like all these things dont take it all as gospel but pick out the bits that make sense to you but cinamon tumeric ginger garlic chili peppers all help -…

Work on feeding your body the good stuff it is amazing how much better you will feel when you eat good protein fruit and veg Your body has a lot to cope with plus I imagine some serious medication so it needs nurturing think of it as spoiling yourself You can still count the calories but make sure each one you put in your…

Hello Poor you not much fun! But although many people will tell you that you cant lose weight on pred I have done so but it is harder. Firstly it sounds as though a huge part of your weight gain is fluid and as your condition improves this will change. But pred can also make you retain fluid so deal with it by eating…

Hello Do you think that a little bit of you is afraid of succeeding and what that will mean for you? Iknow I am more likely to slack off when Iam doing well.

And I thought calories were the little b...ds that live in your wardrobe and stitch your clothes smaller and tighter in the night!

The assumption that other people have a right to make very personal comments on your weight loss it reminds me of when I was pregnant and complete strangers thought it was ok to touch your stomach to feel the baby , losing weight doesnt mean I lose my personal space! When you can see the envy in your friends eyes not a…
