I just want to let you everyone know that I am a WeightWatchers member and have lost over a stone since Aug 2016 . I am now at goal and I am now concentrating on maintaining. I don't mind what plan people follow as long as it works for them . WeightWatchers works for me .
Ooh, what's the chip seasoning? I don't have an actifry but I do make wedges and SW chips in the oven.
Thank you for your reply.... Constant pain but I am used to it although lately it has gotten worse with the toe pain - feel like chopping my big toe off lol ! I have never eaten veg - i blame my mother lol ! I can't eat it now.. just can't make myself and at 43 i am not gonna change.. swimming is hard work but i do enjoy it but at the moment feel too self conscious to go but i plan to resume it at some point.... my other half is a gym nut, he goes three times a week but i never ask his advice as he thinks if i stop eating chocolate i will suddenly loose stones ! don't get me wrong, i don't eat LOADS but at least one treat a day .... trying to be more aware of this though .. xMy fitness pal is a great little app that is good for working out kcal and keeping track of your diet.
I have a client with arthritis/osteoporosis in her hip/leg so I'm familiar with your struggle. I hope it doesn't cause you too much pain
If MFP says 1200 kcal a day try to stick to that best you can.
Is there a reason you don't eat veg or is it just a taste preference? I have to recommend eating a colourful diet full of lots of veg and some fruit, or I'd be being irresponsible.
What does a days diet look like for you?
Have you tried swimming/aqua aerobics or is that too much for your leg? It should take all of the impact out so you can safely keep yourself healthy and this will make room for more calories too.
Also, it may be the last thing you want to do but weight training can slow down development of arthritis and it is non impact so that could possibly be something to give a go if you fancied it
Probably not, but it's a plan I like the sound ofArtcasper that is not a weight loss plan,
Ooh, I'll try that!
Heya
I stumbled across this thread and I hope you don't mind me commenting!
I'm a fitness instructor/ personal trainer and nutritionist and I thought I'd make myself known, if anyone ever has any questions or needs advice on anything health and fitness related then just pop me a message. No catch or anything
Anyone who is a friend of piggos is a friend of mine
Though I'm sure you're all beautiful the way you are!
Beki

Hunters chicken....... with chips.....
Good for you lisa!
As you've already witnessed, I'll never be a runner, my knees would probably explode!

was you a good girl and stick to your 'no pud' promise?
Doughnuts are my weakness, I eat far too many for a personal trainer/nutritionist
Yeah, Marie is like that. She struggles to sleep at night because of her hip and that contributes to weight gain too. There's a lot of factors at play with things like that.
Yeah, I didn't eat meat for years because of school dinners overcooking it. It's difficult to convince yourself to like something if you just don't.
How do you feel about smoothies? They're not my usual recommendation because they break down the sugar and fibre too much, but at least your vitamins and could maybe sneak some spinach or kale into there?
Maybe have a chat with your partner and ask him to show you some basic weight machines and lifts? Just with light weights and nothing that will cause pain in your leg.
And try not to feel self conscious, get yourself a new swimming costume and go feel great about yourself. Everyone is beautiful and other peoples opinions don't matter. Easier said than done, I know, but it will help.
Find an aqua fit class, you might find people in the same boat as you too and the instructors will
Think you will be busy on this
Errrrr..... no... my friend ( skinny minny ) always has a pudding so i did too BUT i did leave some !
There are various apps. I did a couch to 5k and went from struggling to do 30seconds to doing 7-8km two or three times a week. I used 5k runner, it was free but it's paid for now. I got trainers from a running shop where they looked at my gait.
I think you will be busy on this thread lol... i have 2 friends who are also trying to loose weight so we are helping each other out ! We all know what to do - eat less and move more... just wish i could go out for a run sometimes...Doughnuts are my weakness, I eat far too many for a personal trainer/nutritionist
