Hi

Your in good company here, many of us have battled for years with our weight, for me only thing that has worked is calorie counting. I have flucutated between 22st and 16.5st my whole adult life (29 now) only calorie counting got me down at all. Thankfully never went back up to my biggest but was stuck at 19-19.5 for many years now im down 1st 9, in 8 weeks on the nhs 12 week plan.

It is hard work and i dont think there is any short cuts that can be taken, but it is doable. Only advice i can give really is to find out what works for you as everybody is different. Many threads on here show people having successes using different approaches.

Good luck with your weight loss journey hope you find what works for you

No problem always happy to help. I started quite gently with exercise as i suffer from fibromyalgia. For the first week or so i just used my wiifit board to do steps while i watched tv. I did between 10-30mins each day, 8 weeks on i now have a weights set i use and getting a cross trainer in the new year. As for low mobility find something that gets your heart rate up by is low impact on your lower body. Google is great for finding things, i have been watching past episodes of biggest loser for inspiration and some of them have leg injuries and they can still do it so you can too

Start by setting small goals to aim for i started with a goal of 1st by xmas 8 weeks ago and now im ahead by 9lbs, my next goal is 1st by feb 25th. Breaking it down makes it easier and stops it from seeming so impossible.

you can make some simple changes to your diet so you still eat things you enjoy but is healthier for you. So much information online.

Take it day by day and you will succeed

why are we getting all these weight loss questions on the Vasculitis site,is there a problem somewhere, With respect to those with weight loss problems are you perhaps mixing this site with something else .

This appears to be the weight loss site. It says so at the top of the page.

I WOULD PRESUME THAT THESE PROBLEMS CAN OCCUR IN OBESE OR SLIM PEOPLE ??
