When I think about the amount of weight I want to lose it seems like such a huge amount. I feel impatient to lose it. But I know I’ll have to it take one day at a time and celebrate the small victories.

Have a spinning class booked for today after work. Looking forward to it, at least that’s moving me in the right direction.

Hi Purpleuniverse,

Sorry to hear you don’t any energy. Are you getting enough sleep?

Hi Pineapple88 I've been reading about sleep and problems with craving sweet stuff and your diet ect I was really surprised, I really do suffer with sleep problems thanks for bringing this up but I've just also checked I've not been getting enough calories, seams I've only really been having 1500 calories and I should be having much more if I'm to get anywhere at this stage, I've check out the BMI calculator and the RMR they both tell me the same although I'm sure I have lost weight it's not very healthy for me and I have struggled too much, so I'm going to re organise my diet plan so I can try to stick to a healthier one for me.

Purpleuniverse do you eat a lot of white carbs? if you cut these down and add some good fats to your diet, you may find that your energy improves :)

Calculate your Personal calorie intake on the NHS BMI calculator and try to eat at least at the mid range, preferably higher. You will have more energy if you eat more, but lower your intake of bread, pasta, rice and potatoes. You also stand a better chance of loosing weight as your body won’t feel starved and will be happier to let go.

I will add a of link for you to read when I can get to my lap top 😊
