Hi everybody and Thankyou X

Hi all and Thankyou for taking time out to respond with such helpful and interesting replies.

Regarding eating I’ve reduced my intake to around 700 calories. I haven’t eaten meat for years. I do eat fish.

For about ten/eleven years I’ve had a consistent weight that fluctuated between 9stone10 and 10stone3. I eat salads, never sweets, no chocolate, cake or crisps, I don’t like carbs and have a limit of one apple a day. I drink green teas and don’t have dairy. A typical days eating for me is as it’s been for all of those years:

Breakfast: apple and grapes

Lunch; protein shake with unsweetened coconut milk

Afternoon; one banana

Dinner; plate of salad (no dressing) and one piece of haddock or salmon.

For drinks I have water, camomile or green tea and one decaf coffee.

This has been consistent.

My exercise levels have always been average and maintained this intake against my height of 5’7 and my weight.

I went onto 10mg Bisoprolol February 2020 and my weight is now 12stone 8 and all I’ve changed in my habits is no banana or apple in between lunch and dinner and I’m moving about more now.

Noom is great I’m finding as it supports all that we already know to reinforce it.

It’s like my metabolism is refusing to burn fat regardless! And as a lady, as many of you will agree, carrying this around the boobs and middle is depressing and takes it’s toll on our self esteems and confidence.

You’re right, the nhs or doctors will NOT accept that this is happening. I wish I could agree but it really is!

Even when I go against my bodies tiredness and fight that by exercising it won’t shift.

Well I’ve been following Noom for psychological/emotional support for five days so far and the scales are telling me I’m four pounds down.... that’s probably because I’ve gone back on furusemide.

I feel for you all and send my love and positivity (what’s left of it where this is concerned!)

Off to chubby club now dog eared and wearing an oversized fur coat so they won’t notice I’m not a dog at the vets weekly weigh in 😂

I’m loving the support and variation of experiences on here especially the ones that have lost weight on it.... it makes me hopeful and I wonder if it’s necessary as sometimes is to shock our metabolisms into action somehow without putting out hearts at further risk.....?

Wim Hoff? 🥴🤔

Wishing you all a good day as good as it can be and that’s GOOD because this is just a little inconvenience on the grand scale....loads of love and goodness all around and we will find a way to enjoy life to our maximum.... together we add to the strength and motivation.... Thankyou from my ouchies heart to you all and sending love and healing blessings for you all X❤️🙏X
