Hi I’m a 41 year old male who has problems putting on weight after losing it. I have a few health issues and would like to get ideas off people who have had similar problems.

Hi Phil,

We are primarily a peer led, weight loss community and none of us is medically trained, so you may wish to take this up with your GP/dietitian?

This community may be able to help too

Hi and thanks for your response. I’ve realised I have put my initial request the wrong way round. I have issues in keeping weight off once I lose it. I’m looking through try and lose six stone over the next 12 months but have had problems with will power and motivation in the past. Sorry for the mix up

Hi Phil, I completely misunderstood your initial question. There are lots of people here who struggle with maintaining weight after losing it.

Perhaps you could write your initial post again? Or introduce yourself in the newbie group?

Best wishes 😂and a warm welcome to you
