Back to it!

[Bethan23]

Hi all! It's been a couple of years since I was last on here.

So the last 5 years I've had 3 babies, bought a house which we've completely renovated, learnt to drive (and PASSED!), then devastatingly my husband was assaulted on Christmas Eve and sustained multiple head injuries needing lots of surgery and rehab etc! He is now home and recovering well, against all odds but so thankfully.

Needless to say my body has not been my priority and I have gained 2 stone!! The great news is my husband is now able to manage with the kids for half an hour each day for me to get out power walking or doing a cardio work out at home...

I'm cutting down portion sizes haha! Eating more protein and veg with less nasty carbs... I'm still going to have plenty of treats as want a sustainable diet as I love food, love to cook, love to try new things, and bloody love chocolate!

How is everybody getting on? What are your methods for weight loss??

Welcome Bethan,

Wow what a lot to have contended with in the last few years!! Congratulations on the birth of your 3 children - you have your hands full, I remember it well! Well done on coping with renovating a house as well, been there done that too Your poor husband, that is an awful story and I am so very pleased that he has made such a great recovery and long may it continue

I am sure a lot has changed since you were last here, so I shall give you my usual spiel

If you haven't already, please take the time to read the Welcome Newbie post, this will help you to navigate the forum, which is best done using the full website and not the app.

Please also take a look at all of the Challenges, Clubs and Events that we have, to help to keep you motivated and engaged with the forum.

The above link will take you to all the information you need. Participation is key to success and I would recommend that you at least join the Daily Diary and a Weigh In day of your choice.

You have asked what plan people are following, they are many and varied but I would strongly suggest that you have a read of the article 'When Weight Loss Is A Struggle'. Low Carb High Fat is very effective and many here have had great results

Wishing you the best of luck in your weight loss journey and looking forward to seeing you around the forum
