thank you all for your replies, sorry it took so long to read them. I saw a specialst yesterday, I already take the best meds m=for m.e that I take for other illnesses. i'm a lot more ill than I thought. not only do I have m.e but I also have an ear disease and he thinks I have viruses and diseases that are riddling my…

taken l[img]https://us.v-cdn.net/5021879/uploads/editor/y4/0iqtr2iry982.jpg[/taken last night, my husband can get his arm down the back now, it is miles too big[/img]

this was taken in January this yr, not when I was at my heaviest but I was 4 stone heavier in this pic. I fitted into the basque perfectly, the laces touched at the back. I had already lost a stone and a half in this photo

hello, any exercise or excursion i do tires me out very easily and kills me for days afterwards so i'm very limited on what I can do in general. i'm lucky if I can do a bit of housework each day. i'm not able to walk my dog and my husband has to do that. i'm waiting on a referral to a specialist m.e clinic but in the…

thankyou all for your lovely comments. last night I tried on a basque top that used to be too small almost (the laces only just did up over the modesty panel at the back), it is now so big I cannot wear it!! my husband did the laces as tight as they would go but it was still hanging off me, he could fit his arm down the…

me half a stone heavier than I am now

me at 16 stone 1lbs

me too

thank you. ive just managed to pick the hens coops and runs for the first time in about a week. my husband and son have had to do it. my husband has to get the girls up every morning as I just cannot get up that early to do it. I feel happy ive been able to do that

thank you

I hope I will get to my target weight!!! seems like a long way away

thank you. I have to keep in my head that it the attacks will get better for a few days. that's all I ever have when they go then they come back worse and it takes me longer to recover. I miss how active I used to be, I miss riding. I cant go that often now. I miss just being able to go out and walk the dog and meet my son…

thank you

thank you

it's chronic fatigue syndrome, I cant spell the official term for it. I get extreme tiredness, headaches, migraines, tinnitus, aches, pains, sore throat, severe lack of energy, fainting, dizziness, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, my lymph nodes and muscles ache, to name a few symptoms.

you're doing amazing!! i'm so proud of you, you can do this. x

I understand calories which is how ive managed to lose 16lbs. what I meant was go up to about 1400 cals but you don't have to eat that many. I eat about 1300 on days when ive not exercised and 1500 on days when I have (though more when ive been horse riding)

i'm in Coventry in the u.k

totally agree. I also weigh out all my food and measure all liquids. I also eat more or less cals than my allowance depending on how much I have exercised. when I have horse ridden I up my intake by a couple of hundred more so that my body doesn't go into starvation mode

if she still logged her intake it will still be a binge. I find it hard every Christmas time. what helps me is seeing old photos of myself and photos of how I look now. what also helps me is my love of horses and riding. if I get too big I cant ride the horse I love so I have photos of him everywhere and it spurs me on to…

my calorie allowance is 1400, I exercise about 400 cals off a day and eat about 1400-1500 and I have lost 16lbs in 2 months so far. hope this helps

your calorie allowance is way too low which could be why you are gaining. your body may be in starvation mode as you are not feeding it enough so it will cling onto whatever it can. up your calorie allowance and try to eat a couple of hundred cals below it. you should lose then

that was a bit blunt!!!!!

my ipod uploads to here but I can't use it away from the house. I don't like using free Wi-Fi at other places as I cant understand the instructions on how to connect to it

my phone is an old one and not very good. it doesn't have any apps so I have to buy one. ive seen one for about £20. I can just about afford that.x

well I've upped my fibre in take, taken more IBS tablets and am drinking a lot more warm water and it has made a lot of difference. thank you everyone!!

i'm going to go to the doctors and see what they say as my problem is so severe and I really don't know what to do as there are so many options. xx

I drink 3 cups of de caff coffee a day as I am intolerant to caffeinated coffee. i'm going to make an appointment with my doctor tomorrow. ive had this problem before and ended up having a scan at hospital. the doctor had never seen anyone so clogged up. I had to take the tablets i'm on now but this time they are having no…

they are only a couple of weeks old so battery should still b fine. will do the estimation thing

I may have to do the same. I have no idea how much I weigh now!!! I do know I have lost weight as my clothes fit much better but my actual weight is a mystery!
