my husband had a gastric bypass in October 2014, he lost almost 8 stones and was approaching the weight I was plodding along with, so I started here again. there are times he finds things difficult, and he still can't eat certain foods. he has issues with his bowels, but on the whole he is much healthier and I think…

hi fergy, i'm a grandmother, fast approaching 60, to a 7 year old boy and a 4 year old girl, I was about the same weight as you wayyy back when I first started here, but I have about 20lbs left till I reach my target. its a long journey, and i'm in it till I reach the end, whenever that might be, i'll be your friend, and…

I use my garmin on the time and distance setting, and just log my walks as 40 mins at 3mph for example

i'll be 60 on my birthday, but I hope I don't act like it lol. I have dropped 41lbs in a year, (not all of it on here), and plan on losing another 14lbs at least by the end of june (cuba bound on 30th)

have you had a check up at the quacks?

Scottish granny here, log everything, keep in a deficit and it will work! good luck, add me if you want to

if you are truthful, and log everything, and stay within your calorie goal, it'll work, even if you eat 'crap'

NO, in a word. 1200 is the least you should be having

hello, my hubbie was same weight as you, and diabetic till he was given a gastric bypass last October, I am here because he was fast approaching the weight I was at! i'll add you, but remember support goes both ways! GOOD LUCK!

request sent.. I think.

if you don't have acidity, why are you worried? also if you are in calorie deficit, you can eat all day every day if you want

I hear ya! I used to hate going for new clothes, (especially things for 'occasions') and feeling like a whale. its taking time, but I am at last able to see for myself that I am getting results, still a way to go though! you will see the same thing one day!

great job!! (i'm all wibbly wobbly round my belly area too, the legs and arms seem fine tho lol)

theres loads of folks from uk here, theres a couple of other posts on the same subject

1200 should be the minimum you eat. some days I struggle, and need more, therefore it pushes me to exercise!

hi! welcome and good luck!! add if you want

walk 3 miles most days sometimes 4 miles, occasionally 5! can't run. won't run!

i'm a laydeeeeee :p

add me too, just burn more cals than u eat and like magic.. (well sometimes)... the weight vanishes

o:)

hi Amanda, not near Aberdeen, but in Perthshire. (my youngest daughter was born in Aberdeen)

I won't say what a jonnie is in Scotland.

if you want an 'old lady' friend, feel free to add me lol

good luck!! this works if you work at it!

i'm here too.. it is possible !

thanks lynn, (i'm in uk) I have had another person message with some suggestions of foods which I wasn't aware of containing potassium, i'll try those for a few days, and increase my intake of the ones I know of, and see what happens before I investigate further.

i'd appreciate an answer to this question too, I have a multivitamin every day, I try to eat my greens sort of regularly, and I also eat a few bananas a week, but potassium hardly ever shows up on the chart

I think your comment was a little harsh pondee629, for someone just starting out, TRYING is a good thing!

sounds like the symptoms my husband first had when he was diagnosed with diabetes, best get checked to rule it out before taking any advice from the internet
