I need to lose a stone but it’s difficult. The weather affects my breathing depending on humidity or dew point so I have good days and not so good days. Keep on going 👍

Are you eating enough fibre and drinking enough non-sugar fluids to keep your bowels regular? And do you include a lot of salt or salty foods in your diet? Both of these can affect weight loss.

All the best as you tackle this last weight goal of 10lbs.

I sympathise. I ought to lose weight, BUT.... It doesn't seem to float off the way it used to. Too many days of involuntary sofa surfing don't help. Goodluck.

I’m with you on this, my weight loss stopped and not doing anything different and it has gone in reverse and gained! Whether it’s fluid retention in ankles due to weather being a bit warmer or too hot n bothered to move so much? Who knows. But don’t give up, cool fan, cold drinks and write down everything that you eat and every inch that you move. Bit of yoga breathing while resting to help the breathing and we’ll get there. Take care 🦊x

Hi! You're doing really well 😊

My breathing gets worse with high humidity, very noticeable. I also react badly to pollen. A few extra sneezes but nothing else except my breathing is very laboured and I can't get get control of it. It is defo pollen, I have eliminated anything else. Am about to ask doctor for a stronger antihistamine, if that exists!

Keep at it, even if it's slow, you will get there in the end 😘😘 xx

Thankyou still trying I can’t have antihistamines as take beta blocker to control my fast heart rate glad it’s not just me then I will put the breathlessness to pollen I usually don’t suffer with it I get bit breathless in humid conditions but not as bad as this year I’m keep going with the excercise it’s me losing no weight that annoys me my other half says everyone as a stage where you don’t lose anything so I’m just going keep going even if it’s slower for now😊xxxx

Your other half is right (this time 🤣) you do reach a bit of a plateau. Even if you stay at the same weight for now, and then maybe give it a good push when your breathing improves? It’s very fed up making, but be kind to yourself, you’re doing really well xx

oh how lovely! Such a great age! Actually, as far as grandchildren go, any age is lovely!

Yes, I’m ok, in the middle of pulmonary rehabilitation course, which is very positive making, but quite a challenge in the more humid weather.

You take care and enjoy your grandson 😘😘 xx
