Is it me or is this lovely weather making it harder to keep to a diet. All the lovely ice cream vans about now. Oooo. Did have one this week. I had an hospital appointment yesterday. I have now been booked in for a full heart scan next Tuesday now. So worrying tbh.
On the good side I have now lost a total of 32lbs. Thos the doc was pleased with my weight lose I have been advised that my goal weight should be nearer the 10st bracket to take the pressure off my heart. Thats another 5st 10lbs. Such a long way to go. Not sure if I can do this. My partner says I am doing well but thats about all the support I get from him. This site is so good and helps me a lot. But this amount. I dont know tbh. Its got me down a bit

Morning Ladytrucker, I understand your worry but think how amazingly you’ve done and in a relatively short time. That has brought huge benefits to your health and I’m sure your heart is better for it. Don’t be despondent, you can do this, even if it takes a little longer. Fingers crossed 🤞 for you for your tests. 😘
Thank you ManchegaenlondresIt feels like a long way to go now. At 1st this started as a 1 stone lose for the opp and now it seams to be dragging on. If its not one thing its another. Now this massive weight lose. I read somewhere a woman has lost 8 stone now. Well done to that lady. Now I realise that's going to be me. From 18 stone to 10 stone. Nearly half my body weight. Wow. When you think of it like that. I am realising this is gojng to be a long term diet now. So I suppose for health reasons I had better start planning further ahead now
I shall keep going but it won't be easy. Will try and stay positive
Hi Ladytrucker you have had an amazing loss so far and look at the heart scan as a good thing. Anything they might find can be dealt with before it becomes a major problem.
I know you have resisted so far 😁 but why not try joining todays weigh in and gain a huge support team. When we have a large target to hit it is so much easier with a support network around you. I know this as when i started i had 11 stone to lose to get to my target but its more if i keep going to a healthy BMI. Small targets and lots of extra support really does help 💖 ps I've lost 9stone 12 of that 11 so far x
GoshNearly 10 stone. You have done incredibly well. That is in itself an inspiration to me. Reading this boosting me massively. So its possible. How do I join todays weigh in
Thank you Ladytrucker. You won't regret joining in. It has really helped me stay motivated and on the straight and narrow. The above link will take you to the pinned posts. The weigh in is the 3rd one down. Read the intro and click the blue Reply button. Todays weigh in is hosted by H61g
Just take it step by step, thats how mountains are climbed, one step at a time. You're doing great. Your partner might not know what else to say to be supportive so at least u can get support here. Decide on the next block of weight u want to lose and then the next block. Aim for those mini goals. Don't underestimate how much uve achieved
Wow, you have managed 2 stones already which is brilliant! It may seem like a lot ahead of you but, did you think you would be 2 stone lighter already? There are a few people on here who have managed big losses that are inspirational and can share their tips with you although, it looks like you are doing brilliantly on your own. Good luck on your journey
It’s so good to see you doing so well!! I remember seeing your first post, and have been keeping an eye out for your updates. Just wanted to say best wishes for the upcoming hospital checks. You definitely can keep this up, and everyone is always here for you on the forum if you need a ‘pick-me-up’ if you’re feeling down or frustrated!I have lost a similar amount to you, and have 5 stone to go too… eventually!
Have a fantastic week ahead, and remind yourself how well you’re doing!
You are doing so well don’t lose heart I had 18 to lose and I can tell you it’s caused many a teary day however I decided not to dwell on the impossible and I look at losing just one . And at 1-2 lb a week it doesn’t take so long till one has gone …. Then it’s another one and so on … I still have 8 to go and in this weather it is a struggle but yours is going down so take heart from how well you have done , the positive benefits and how great you will feel when it’s all gone ! The new clothes , shoes, energy then your partner can support your new wardrobe . Keep going as you are doing an awesome job 💕💕
I am taking one day at a time some slip ups but I know that why we are all trying to lose weight it's a struggle but enjoy an ice-cream and cut out something else good luck if you lost 32 lb you can loose 33 lb don't look at the end look at now best wishes Paul x
