Hello and welcome, what is the implant ?

[crochet19 in reply to Lytham]

It’s a contraceptive which is implanted into your upper arm, it lasts 3 years I think! X

Me too!!! The implant is a pain, I had it for 6 years and I was a normal weight then but I put on 3/4 of a stone silently because of it. Then I had it removed and had my little one and have ended up 4.5 stone worse off!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[crochet19 in reply to FattySquirrel]

Well I can relate to that! I put on 4 stone with first baby, lost 2 stone and then put on 4 stone with second one... so was then 6 stone over weight! 😳 at beginning of this year I was the weight I was full term with my first one!

So it’s all going this year! I’ve lost 1.1stone in 4 weeks! So we definitely have this! Good luck on your journey Fattysquirrel!! X

Thank you crochet19, and good luck to you too you are doing so well!! Motherhood is a toughy!!! But at the moment I think my 15, 13 and 11 year olds are way too much hard work 😓 mentally!!😂 And running around trying to change my little 3 yr old into his Jim jams seems a doddle!!!!

[crochet19 in reply to FattySquirrel]

Yes i bet! Mine are 16 and 13 so I feel your pain! X

Yes it lasts 3 years, it can also increase your appetite

How long have you been "not losing weight"?

If you were able to lose weight... that would tend to indicate that you do not have metabolic/insulin problems.

I found that I could lose about an extra pound a week when I walked 50km a week... I was about seventeen stone then, and it would be proportionally less for smaller people: how far do you walk in a week?

I used to have the implant and I used to find that I gained a lot of weight in the months after it was changed over and then I would settle down again and it would gradually come off over the rest of the 3 year period. I had a noticeable increase in appetite around this time. This was one of the reasons I eventually asked for it to be removed. I also developed PCOS symptoms, which were unpleasant, so I'm back on the combined pill now.

How many steps does your fitbit record on a daily basis?
