Oh dear! Sorry to hear you've got so many health problems going on. I can imagine it does get you down as it feels like it is all conspiring against you!

but on the bright side a wedding to look forward to!

I don't know much about the medical conditions you have but I hope they get well soon!

I realise exercising will probably hurt but hopefully as you lose weight the pain might start to ease a little and exercise may become easier you can lose weight without doing much exercise as it's all about what you eat and how much! have u had a look at the NHS 12 week plan? it's a really good guide and you can base the amount of calories you're allowed on your BMI recommendations I only started it 2.5 weeks ago but it's made such a difference for me!

Even if you can get up and walk around the house every hour or so, it's still getting you moving and might be a good place to start also you can go to a swimming pool and walk from one side to the other which shouldn't put too much pressure on your body

Have a read through all the different posts on the forum as they're really inspiring and can help give you a moral boost when you need one!

Pipe99 you already look wonderful. I am sure you will have a great wedding. I love what you have done with the colours of your hair.

I assume the steroids counter any efforts to lose weight. So any small change needs to be taken as the major victory it is. We will help you celebrate every and any ounce you lose because they deserve to be celebrated.
