28lbs was 2 sizes for me, but it could be 3 depends on the store but a comfortable 2

I love the science of the replies already. And your fun question. I have nothing of value to add to these posts as I simply don't know. For my two pence worth, reading between the lines you're going on a cruise? Which I guess is not something you do every week... which means it's a treat? In life and on your health journey…

What? On its own? Never heard of it and I'll never cease to be amazed at the crazy diets I hear coming out... be careful but as @VintageFeline says... why are you doing it if you don't want to? Life is short. Read the getting started posts. Enjoy your life :)

Seroquel, mirtazipine, diazepam, zopiclone. Plus several others for chronic pain... I wouldn't trade my sanity for my weight, I'm still on all of them and I've lost 28lbs in the last 6 months :) it's possible. I've taken most of them tonight otherwise I'd have written you a much more rousing happy post! Please feel free to…

I'm on this too and I have been now for over 18 months, plus mirtazipine (actually used as an appetite activater I found out this year from an anorexic friend prescribed it for that reason), diazepam, zopiclone, pregabalin all say gaining can be a s/e. I'll be the first to hold up my hand and say I had significant gains.…

I'm 28lbs down with more to go, I can't tell you how good it felt going into the new year knowing the good I've done my health. As someone on a lot of medications I'm getting some blood tests done in a couple of weeks as I'm pretty sure I will have got my cholesterol under control and to lose that medication would be…

Firstly you know what you'd like to achieve which is great, consider breaking this down in to smaller goals... secondly you've already committed and know what you need to do all I can add to this is you are right and you need to do this ... you're getting medical insight. Basically, you've got this :) Make a good decision,…

I developed acne at 30... it's a thing late onset acne. The two may not be related. I have a topical that helps.

Firstly - what an awful time you're having... I hope you feel better soon. I have a type of IBD plus a host of other stuff I won't waffle on about but when I'm really struggling I have rice crackers, banana and sometimes peanut butter with that. I have in easy rice with mushrooms in. Apple sauce on rice crackers or toast.…

I'm going through these tests again at the moment. I'm asking for a dietician at the end of it as I'm on a lot of medication for other conditions and I've tried and failed many times to figure oug my trigger foods. I've got to go back for another scope under a general anaesthetic as I'm still testing high on the…

FWIW my dad switched to vaping around the same time the Dr told him to lose weight. He lost 28lbs and slowly is continuing to lose. I'll never know if it was quitting the cigarettes or losing weight but his breathing and colour in his face improved dramatically. He's still very poorly but I'm pretty sure if he'd carried on…

Awesome!!

Anecdotal but here goes... my brother is about 5' 8 and super slim. He has muscle mass and even a 6 pack. He's tall and lean. Works on his feet all day and clearly eats sufficiently to build strong muscles and his workouts are lifting kegs and bodyweight. My sister is about 5' 6 and super slim. Does cardio such as Zumba…

I'd go see the doctor anyway to get checked out given your surgical history, it could be any number of things and at least you won't be left guessing if your doc does a work up for you. Myself and two friends on here all have genuine illnesses all of which give the symptoms you describe but are all completely different -…

It sounds like you've got a handle on what you're doing with 18lbs down :) it also seems like you already know what advice you'll hear with making smaller goals and so on... so essentially I'm here to say 'you've already got this!' Many people feel this way - myself included. You know what to so!!

Hi lovely, Couple of things. I really dislike how your husband is angry with you if you ask him to help. I had an ex husband who sounds very similar to your husband. Our sex life was 'good' too, until after we split I found out it was another of his ways of controlling me (this escalated to me waking up with him having sex…

Hi OP. I have battled and survived over a decade of depression. The one thing that got me to a state of 'acceptance' was a consultant psychiatrist. Depression is an evil beast. When you need people the most it can make people withdraw. Please see if you can get a referral - it's not all pills, treatment has come a LONG way…

Doctor. Please it can be explained by many things but some of those things are potentially very dangerous. Speaking from experience here.

I've just been prescribed this at 100mg to start titration up to 300mg in a couple of weeks. Talk your worries through with your Dr. I know I've seriously considered some pretty drastic things to stop the pain and so I'm willing to do ANYTHING to stop the pain. I've read reports on weight gain...however I've also been told…

@bexho you are honestly such a beautiful woman naturally. I can understand wanting to find a diet that helps your health (I have health problems too). I just wanted to stop by and say how utterly gorgeous you are ☺

Hello everyone, I'd like to thank you all for sharing your stories and I hope we all add each other for support (I don't seem to be able to through the app) I'm very sorry for your struggles but am encouraged by those who have worked their way up to an active life. I spent 11 days on the unit and I'm now awaiting the new…

actually - not a dr however I've spent a hell of a lot of time in colorectal surgery wait rooms due to my health. what I've learned is some people go more than others and even once a week is fine if that's what you've always been like. HOWEVER BM changes that are recent and last more than 3 weeks need investigating. Blood…

^^^ this. It's good to have a number and you're already fretting about a plateau before you've even started. let go of the number. you just need to log every day and see where the trend takes you. worrying about a plateau now worries me you'll give up if you don't think you are where you want to be. good luck.

I agree with this sentiment, makes sense

I'm on calcium and D3 together hypercalcemia is very dangerous not possible from food sources alone (as far as my googling has shown - but im not a dr) but from supplements - mine are Dr prescribed and I have bloodwork done to keep an eye on the calcium in my blood. Thank you for the info regarding absorbtion as I'll make…

My vitamins are prescribed by a dr. I take them as I would my other medicines. Or do I need to freak out and start worrying my other pills I take a day might have calories? I see no reason to count them...I'm 14lbs down.

sex not for a while had me in stitches! I feel you! ha ha ha ha

I'm so sorry I'd started writing and was nearly through a massive reply to you but it disappeared so sadly I have to keep this short. I completely agree with pp who said to remove talking to those who stress you out about your weightless. Practise what they said over and over and do it - I've had to cut out conversations…

Age 33 Sex F Location Staffordshire Why Health scare

Ignoring all of the eat more posts as you've not specified how much you're eating etc I'm hearing through your post that motivation has become difficult since there was a holiday and hit a bump due to snack foods being around? I agree with the pp that says don't have them in the house if you don't want to eat them. i also…
