I could have written this but I only gained back 12 pounds. Tomorrow I see my weight reduction endocrinologist... For the most part Sciatic curb some of exercising and dinner portion size creap back up. For the pain I had to wait for an appointment for me to see the physiatrist. Look it up I had to; but at least he doesn't use a scalpel. I guess I am saying identify what caused the 8LBS, plus the lack of additional lost of weight &/or maintenance and what you need to change to get back on course. It wasn't one extra ice-cream pop that did it, it was several things and you need to ID them all.

Hi shrewzn I'm sorry to hear about your weight gain but hopefully once you get yourself sorted out emotionally it might help you get back on track.There's a great group on healthunlocked where you get a lot of help and support just go to12 week nhs and you will find it.as for your teeth there has been a lot of changes in treatment especially the injections, like you i was in my forties when i went back like you a childhood experience put me off but it was my front teeth and i felt i had to go once i explained my experience they were great, they even put the numbing gel on to freeze it before the injection it was great lol i felt like a child but it was worth it I'm not saying it was a magic cure it took me a while to keep going back but i managed to get there in fact I'm going tomorrow for a check up i hope this helps you because it's no small thing being nervous going to the dentist or anywhere else good luck, i hope to hear how you get on😉😉👍Rosie xx

I just said I can spend my life like this and I may end up a caregiver for both my husband and my 80 yr mom I couldn't do it. I could do for my self. So I had to Change the out come so in 6 months I so far lost 50 pounds and was taken off 2 of my diabetic pills just one shot a day if needed it .
