HI, I'm in the UK, South East, I was away on holiday last week so today is my first day of logging again. My diary is open.

I had surgery on my L5/S1 15 weeks ago. I tried for two years to avoid surgery, I had two spinal epidurals to relieve the pain so I could exercise in an attempt to naturally help the problem. I did everything correct. Physio exercises specifically for me; having been MRI'd so they could see the disc damage and I had…

I have nothing to offer other than a ((((HUG)))) Having your house broken into is awful too. Hope things go well with the specialist and he's able to give you clear information on what needs to be done.

0.6 lbs loss for me. Happy with that, I'm reached my goal then lowered it, slow and steady loss for me now whilst trying to get lean. Soooo......... 45.1 lbs total

I was watching a medical TV show the other night and a there was a lady diagnosed with having axillary breast tissue in her armpits. If that is what you have their advice is probably not what you want to hear in that they said generally it reduces as you age, starting around your 30's and other than that there's only…

Had a frustratingly low weight loss this week. Only 0.2lbs but you're welcome to add! So.... 17.2 lbs

I don't have a fancy machine, just a hand held mandolin peeler, courgettes are my new spaghetti and works great with carrots too. Will have to try squash.

Hi, I try to keep my carbs down to below 50g a day and calories at around 1300. I have blips, usually when I eat out with friends or when I visit my Mum. My dairy is open, feel free to add.

I'm from Surrey, log daily, and would like some more friends that comment and have open diaries.

HI, I eat diet chef. I'm trying to keep my maintenace weight at the mo and I'm on one of Diet Chefs maintenance plans. I chose to have breakfasts and lunches delivered. I think it is a great diet. Portion control was my enemy, in many cases not eating enough at meal times then having a bit of bread and maybe a bisuit as I…

As a child I was always bigger than average and was very unhappy in my school. I ate, at 16 I was at my largest. I changed school, was much happier and the weight started coming off. From a UK size 20 to a size 14 over 18 months (in my profile is my old school pic next to a pic of me now - similar to the size I was at 18).…

Thank you both emy_r and blakedebo for your replies. Both really encouraging. Blakedebo, I find I have to be careful just looking after 4 dogs and myself let alone having little ones to care for. Fantastic news you are doing great a year on. Emy_r, riding is most defiantly my passion, dressage mainly, competing up to…

Hey, thank you. I'm doing great. I stayed in hospital for one night, that evening I was sat / propped up to eat my dinner, rested my feet on the metal strut of the over bed table and almost leapt, my right foot suddenly felt the cold metal, having not had proper sensation in my leg for quite a while it came as a shock, my…

I'm in the UK. Recently had surgery & had a few weeks off logging, I have another 3 months+ of recovery and then hopefully I'll be allowed to exercise more. I was struggling to maintain my maintenance weight before and now I'm not allowed to exercise as I was before I need to work it all out again. Going to make an effort…

Vastiris - thank you for replying. I'm hoping to be able to start doing strength after 3 months and thinking about getting back on a horse 4 months post op. I've got my surgery date now, 8th May and my pre op in a couple of weeks. Post op physio will be discussed then too. For once in my life I will be a perfect patient…

Similar situation. I have 3 prolapsed discs. Been through 18 months of specialised pain management (took 6 months for my GP to refer me) I've had Caudal Epidural injections on top of Codine, Ibruprofen and Paracetemol. Demanded another MRI and finally I have been referred for surgery. Microsdiscectomy, I go in for surgery…

Anyone?

I'm 5'7 and a 1/2 I want to maintain at 147. That's my weight goal. 3 years ago I dropped down to 144 for my sis's wedding, I was lean, very little body fat & strong. My periods stopped and I developed some health problems. Sub 140 would just not be possible for me if I want to maintain muscle mass and most importantly my…

I'm in Surrey and go to The Gym, membership £15.99 a month and £45 for an hour PT session.

I weigh in and measure in once a week. Monday evening I do my measurement & Tuesday morning before I've had breakfast I weigh in in my bra and pants.

Hi, I'm from Surrey. I've been struggling for years to drop back to my WW goal weight. 2 months on MFP and it's done :D Now to maintain.

I am sore today just after day 1. It's my thights, they actually hurt to touch! Time to get off my butt and do day two!

I switched to a progesterone only pill the just after Christmas, I'm on Cerazette. The Depo made me go mental, panic attacks, paranoid, 3 months of hell. Tried the combined pill - turns out I'm alergic to the extra oestrogen. The POP for me is going brilliantly, just started my 3rd pack. I've had no side effects. I signed…

Just made pancakes for lunch. 4 pancakes later, one with sugar, one nutella, one marmalade and the last pastrami and philly all in for 478 calories and I'm stuffed.

Also just done day 1 of 30DS. It was hard work but made it the whole way though non stop and my lungs are burning. I was nervous about doing it as I'd been told not to go to the gym or do any exercise for the last 10 weeks due to my lower back. I had caudal epidural number 2 at the start of feb, a year after my last, I've…

I'd never head of 30DS till I saw it mentioned on here. I ordered my copy last night!
