Frustrated

[colleen10]

Hi everyone.

I have just joined. I have lost a total of 9kg but still need to lose about 40kg!!! My biggest problem is that I am disabled and need two crutches just to walk unaided! I feel very frustrated by this. Even swimming, I cannot let go of the side as I tip upside down.

Hi Colleen

Losing weight is mostly about getting your food right, to suit you and the way your body works. Different things work for different people. Perhaps have a look at this recent post from OlsBean, it might be helpful.

There are some exercise videos on U tube for people with disability problems, I don't know if any of them might be ok for you.

Can your doctor give you any help with this?

Good luck.

HI Collen

I have been losing weight on the low carb and high fat diet,some diets work better for some people which I have found this does, as like you I limited mobility as I am waiting for surgery.The food on this can be a little expensive but it probably is not that much more.As im not able to excersise much at present I can put a stone on in four weeks which is not helpful.You can look this diet up on Authority nutrition hope this may help you.
