I have not give up yet and for the last year all I have done is lost and gained the same 2-3lbs, no inches lol so hell I may be fat but by goodness I am fit and healthy, no medical reason apparently so it's just the way my body wants to be, some f us are designed not to fit the mould of "weight loss" some of are completely…

in the UK they have put the added sugars in without public knowledge, after studies were done with rats, they found high fructose corn syrup made the rats more prone to weight gain even eating a healthy diet, it also made it tougher for them to lose weight, it had something to do with the body processing the high fructose…

maybe if you feel strong enough you could give your feedback direct to WHO, they have opened up a consultation http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/notes/2014/consultation-sugar-guideline/en/ the report they made is also there

this has been all over the news in th UK today, they are talking about taxing the stuff with loads of sugar, as here in the UK they have put sugar in everything from bread to ham, and they do not always make it obvious it's there. People can debate whether sugar is a problem or not all day long, but all we are doing is…

If I was to do that 100 + 10 cos I am 5'2, that would make me around just under 8stone that would put me slap bang back into my ED, until GP's take it seriously and not keep using BMI we will have to fend for ourselves, 8 stone lmao, never gonna happen

in theory as we are female, it would be better to only weigh once a month, as if we weighed on the same day each month, say 7 days after mother natures visit, we would have everything within the body at the same state each month, ie fluid retention, hormone fluctuations, I am trying this method as seeing my weight go up…

I am termed as poor, I have just had to start claiming jobseekers allowance, I get (when they see fit to pay me) £71.70 per week, out of that I have to put £15 electric and £15 gas on my meters, pay £6 for tv licence and £6 council tax, that is £42 gone, then I have to keep £7.50 back to go to paying phone and internet so…

I wish someone would tell my NHS Doctor's surgery that, as all I keep getting quoted is that my BMI says I am obese, lose weight, Also, to OP I fully understand how you feel, to lose weight I was like you could only eat 1 meal a day, and like you twice I gained 21lbs in 3 weeks, had to drop to one meal a day to stop it. I…

Exercise... it releases happy endorphins and makes you feel better, I have suffered with depression all my life from childhood, so I understand where you are coming from, it may feel hopeless at first, but keep at it and you will notice the difference, try and fiond something you like doing, me personally, I love Zumba, I…

I do agree with calories in calories out concept, but I also believe we do not know all there is to know about the body and weight gain/loss.. There has been talk in the research areas that each person does not take the same amount of calories from food, so if someone eats a 50 cal apple, one person may take all the…

I understand what you are saying... I have been trying to lose weight on a calorie deficit for over a year now with no success... the GP will not refer me to a specialist to see what is going on, ie, constipation on orlistat and weight gain, also I need a weekly calorie deficit of 7500 calories to lose 1lb, but for some…

request sent :)

I have had 5 c/sections, at my lowest weight, UK size 6/8 my tummy was flat, it can go and I am working on getting back to a flat tummy, doing weights helps keep muscles in shape while dieting

I am currently reading the diet delusion by Gary Taubes, I am finding it an interesting read, as it shows how different diets fail and work with different people. Like all work and studies he looks at, the all have to be tested to see if they work, in the same respect new things are being discovered, 50 years ago we never…

Studies are proving exercise is nothing to do with weightloss, that the majority of weight problems in older people is hormonal., meaning, ghrelin etc, these hormones are being affected by the foods we eat and food manufacturers exploit this as they know certain additives will create cravings, the body then does not turn…

my idea of clean is using fresh ingredients and making things myself, like mince oies and gingerbreads etc at christmas well as fresh as poss apart from treacle and sugar lol but I use sugar rather than sweeteners, cos I believe if we were meant to eat chemicals we would have chimneys on top of our heads, but I also…

I am not logging food on Christmas eve, Christmas day, Boxing day, new years eve and new years day, gonna exercise still but not xmas or new years day but gonna enjoy my xmas :)

would have to be bananas, but porridge is a close second

Feel free to add me as I am same am looking at 68lb more to lose after checking hight and weight charts :(, slowly slowly wins the race :)

I am currently reading a book called The Diet Delusion. Written by Gary Taubes. I am finding it very interesting it covers all the general topics of diet including low fat and sugar and also gives the names of the studies and the references and authors of the studies. I am not saying I stand by everything he is saying I am…

The Firm do some good ones that do a sort of interval training that is good slim in 30 I think it is not sure of the name but that was the first one I ever did and I was so proud getting to the end, plus its this hiit that all the experts are raving about :) plus I am fit but obese and now at the gym :)

I drop a pound or two, then within a couple of days its back and then I drop it then its back its a never ending circle, I have tried everything and nothing works, I eat less don't drop weight, I eat back some exercise calories, don't drop weight, don't eat much, don't drop weight, I seem to be the exception to the rule, I…

the leaflet that comes with sertraline stated that it slows down thyroid function, so I would say if the drug manufacturer says it slows thyroid function then it is altering metabolism, plus the half life of these drugs is quite long causing a fair old build up in your system. quotes from the leaflet low sodium can occur…
