Thank you for the FR and your very kind comments. Losing weight is the thing that helped me most. i couldn't exercise until I dropped 40lb. In fact, I couldn't get up the stairs myself or get into the bath, so exercise was just not going to happen. Main thing is to get nutrition as good as you can, and keep the calories to…

No, I haven't been to a gym since 1982. You are not alone :)

Incredible woman. Very inspiring. Edited just to add - I read your story at the beginning of my journey - everyone told me I couldn't, but your story always stayed with me, so I knew that I could - thank you.

What a great transformation - well done girl!

Great job! Congratulations :)

Amen to all of that wonderful advice! There should be a "like" button on here.

Very sorry to hear about that. My docs have told me that I have Chronic fatigue syndrome and probably Rheumatoid arthritis. I have chronic Reynauld's disease in my hands and feet which are constantly painful and cold. I have Osteo arthritis also in my hands and knees. I also have permanently inflamed lymph glands. I take…

Yes, a fat man can get a girlfriend. It's all about personality, confidence and a sense of humour. Personally, I could not care less if a man has a six pack. I am more interested in whether he is brave, clever, funny, adaptable, hard working. Good luck and do not settle for any less than you deserve. You get back what you…

Hi. I am a vegetarian, not a vegan. I can't see much protein here. Could you also have red lentil soup (very nice and easy to make) and some tofu or similar, perhaps. Also, how are you going to do strength and cardio on this diet with that amount of calories? I am no expert at all, but no doubt someone who is will come…

There is a huge difference. Well done! I do understand what you are feeling though. I went through a similar thing after losing weight. I still felt very big and thought I looked big. Your mind will catch up :)

Yes, you can, although sizing is rather variable. I am 5'7" with broad shoulders and 140lb. I was a 3XL (size UK 22 and sometimes bigger) and now a UK size 10 (small). It also depends on how your weight is distributed: I could never be smaller than a UK 10 due to my bust size. Good luck.

My doc told me that during this period, weight can be deposited on the stomach and tops of hips while the thighs can waste. I had the issues with stomach fat. Planks are great. So are sit ups if you can do those. I would like to recommend a book to you which will spur you on. Check it out on Amazon plus the reviews…

Keep going John! Excellent job.

Hi - During, yes. I started losing weight while going through this transition. I am still going through it and and no where near out the other side yet. Horrible symptoms. "Menopause" , my doctor says, is when it's all over. I am still in the the eye of the storm. It was very hard work, and took me 10 months. I have posted…

Fantastic! I would love to be friends if you are looking for more :)

Going from being an invisible 51 year old to being noticed. It is very straaange. I can no longer move about in an invisibility cloak. I got whistled at by a builder today. Cheeky blighter.

Don't listen to people who tell you "you can't".

I'm 51 and was obese last summer and fighting some really horrible peri symptoms. I also have bad arthritis and was very unwell. I have lost 51lb and started to lift weights, after reading that this is a great thing for women my age to do. Do not give up. Make a plan. To me, losing weight this time was far harder than when…

Thank you Wrangler :)
