Hey, I'm so sorry you're suffering so badly. Well done on the initial weight loss though, it's typical that HS got in the way of that for you. I've never been on either of those meds you mentioned, I've gained small amounts of weight with other meds though. For starters, see what it is that's making you gain weight, are…

Crunches are the devil lol But count me in. Just did my 42 for today. I might try squeeze in some more later if my body likes me.

Just sent you a request. Anyone else feel free to add me as well. I'm always up for being motivated and motivating others as well.

I've had 4 workouts this week. Gonna have another one today and will rest tomorrow (by rest i mean i will probably just go for a walk and not use the gym). I love reading over the posts on this group. I'm enjoying being in a group of people who essentially have the same goal and the same struggle to get there. It's…

SW: 233 lbs CW: 205 lbs GW: 154 lbs July 4: 205 lbs Tough week this week. There's been parties and take aways and the weather has been extremely humid, making it tricky to work out (as i use an outdoor gym). But I'm slowly getting there.

I'm up for a group weigh-in. Weekly sounds good to me, doesn't matter which day as I tend to randomly weigh myself (Should have more structure, I know)

I'm 25 and 205lbs. Over the last few years all I've done is ignore the amount of trash I was eating and get depressed at how big I was getting without ever bothering to do anything about it. Now I've developed an autoimmune illness, and one of the biggest aids for putting it into remission is to lose weight. So now is when…

I use this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5f4zZbuWZI it's my favourite to do when i can't get out to the gym. there are tonnes of videos like this on youtube, some of them require using light weights, because i'm not used to using weights i just use light 1lb weights. I'm by no means in shape, and this video has me…

Hey, I'm Laura. I've had HS for a few years now, but only life-altering since last september. I'm trying to lose weight to improve it, I've changed my diet, started taking vitamins (which have helped loads, especially vit. d). I'm looking to add some new friends who are going through the same battle of losing weight while…

I've never heard of this, I'll check it out with my doc on my next visit. Does it come with any odd side effects?

Awesome. Thanks so much everyone.

Amazing advice and support. I'm not going to give up, I'll just have to use the gym in the meantime while I'm waiting for them to get better. Fast walking is still ok right? Or is that pushing it a bit? c25k is something I'm definitely starting once I am able to.

Hey all, thank you for the responses. Doing too much too soon seems like it might be another reason. I became addicted to it very fast, and started doing 30 secs of jogging, then walking, then jogging some more, and after a few days I was up to 60 secs of jogging, then walking etc. I guess my issue is that I was doing it…

Wasting money on clothes is my biggest one. I have so many gorgeous dresses that I love but are now too big for me. As a result though I've taken up sewing so I can learn to alter them to suit me. Even still, I'm almost afraid to buy new clothes in case they won't fit me in a month's time or something. It's an odd…

Honestly, I think only shallow people that you wouldn't want in your life would judge you. I had the same fears when starting out, but then someone close to me asked, when I see someone who needs to lose weight at the gym, or out jogging, or in the pool, what do I think. My response was "fair play to them". You'll get a…

Thank you for those kind words Thor_Girl. In fact thank you to everyone who has posted on this thread. You've really helped me grab the rope and start to pull myself back out of this. You've all been so supportive and kind, I'm somewhat overwhelmed. Thank you thank you thank you!

I'm in :) Thank you so much Thanks shiichanchick. My measurements have been up and down by half inches everywhere. I know my endurance is up. I suppose you're right and I just need to start looking at it from different angles.

Thank you so much for the replies everyone. Honestly I think I'm just having a really bad go of it recently. JenniferDukes thank you for the tips about the water. I'm always being told that I don't drink enough water. I'm never thirsty so drinking liquid of any kind has always been somewhat of a challenge for me unless…
