When my surgeon implied that unless I lost 15kg I may be refused hip replacement surgery. 2.1kg lost in 3 weeks so still have a long way to go.

Welcome to the site, I have found it very supportive. I have quite a long way to go but to be honest I have never considered surgery, just determined to do it this time. Like you I have been over 200 for so long now and would love to say I am 100 and something. Feel free to add me for support. :smile:

Love it, as I am on the 5:2 it makes fasting days so much easier as I don't want to eat. :smile:

I feel your pain! I put a stone back on after hernia surgery in January. I couldn't leave the house as we had snow and if I had slipped I could have caused more damage. If it were now and warm and sunny, I would do as you suggest and walk a little, try to avoid the tempting things, and drink lots of juice etc. when the…

Hi, was with WW, lost 3 stone, put on a stone after an operation, tried WW again and lost nothing. Found this site and as others say its a free calculator and there are many 1,000's of english foods already on there anyway. Starting to loose again slowly and learning alot about dieting that I never know from this site.

Thanks for the invitation, I am in! It will be nice to moan about my knees and know that others understand, although Zumba seems to be doing some good in strengthening the muscles around the worn out knee joint. Have a good week all. :happy:

Hi, I am sure that this is what I have got is called! Mine is the result of a major abdominal operation 3 years ago, the stomach muscles were cut in a scar that runs downward from just below my belly button. I had another operation in January for a Hernia, and the surgeon had to attach the patch to scar tissue as my…

I'm a newbie looking for friends and support. I work as a teacher, love motorbikes, enjoy wine far too much and generally refuse to be my age (57). Friend me if you like as I can't work out how to yet! :happy:

I have been on this for about 4 weeks now. I am finding it surprisingly easy on fast days. I have joined this site to keep a close note of what I eat on fast days so I dont exceed 500 calories. Also I think I may be overdoing it a bit on non fast days. However I have lost 5 or 6lbs and definately lost inches as clothes fit…
