That was really good advice you gave to Stromas, Deb. :)
Now I shall give my views, and please don't ask me to move my size 8 butt off of the thread ;D
I haven't always been a size 8, my biggest has been 16/18, highest weight while not pregnant is 12 1/2 stone approx. Not a lot you might say but i'm only 5ft 2in ;D

I wasn't happy like it , in fact it really depressed me. I had no confidence at all, hated buying clothes, used to come home and cry. Now I am around 8st 4 ish and have to work at staying here, it's no fun, I am obsessed with what I eat and drink, will do extra hours at the gym if i've eaten a bar of chocolate, I even locate gyms when planning holidays.

I'm still not happy with the way I look, with clothes its fine, naked, I'm a mass of saggy skin, I actually looked better overweight ;) So I agree with Lucinda no ones ever truly happy with their bodies, nothing a nip and tuck wouldn't solve though ;D
 
Whether you've got 2 stone or 10 stone or if you have nothing to lose its how you feel about yourself that really matters at the end of the day. You have to do whatever it takes to make yourself truly content with you. Not your partner or your mum or the bloke in the pub that keeps making jokes about you. The only person you have to please is yourself. Everyone has different levels. Bev was miserable at 12½ stone. I'd kill to be 12½ stone. Everyone is different and that's what makes us all so wonderful in our own ways.
 
Bev, even with all that exercise you still have saggy skin? Lord alone knows what I'd look like if I lost all my weight then. Is there no way that everything would just ping back into shape?
 
I know losing they weight will not complete my life but it will help make it better. I have tried going it alone but I watch someone on MTV called MADE. One on of the shows the had a Girl about the same size at me (24) and her dream was to run in a race. Just done it but only because she had people around her to motivate her she had are own reason but needed that push to go the bit further she lost 24 pounds in a month. I think i need that kinda help. My nurse told me to join a slimming club and a gym but I am not confide enough to join a gym. Not to mention no money. Need to find of exercise i can do around the house but I am useless at that. HELP lol
 
I know what you mean. I wouldn't go near a gym. I wouldn't last 3 minutes. However I do 5 hours dancing a week and up to 4 hours walking without feeling it cos its fun - well the walking isn't but it costs £1.50 on the bus so its a matter of principal ;D

one hours line dancing for example burns up 519 calories

If I can't afford to go to a dance class. I put on a CD and spend an hour dancing to it. You can dance as crazily as you like cos no-one can see you. It is so much fun. Some of the moves I've come up with are just hilarious.

I've had sciatica twice so I stopped walking and exercising. I started off with a 10 minute walk round the block every night. Then I upped it to 15 and so on. It didn't take long for me to get to where I am.

Michelle, don't worry about flying there, it will be fine, and you can wear DVT socks (flight socks) if you are wondered about DVT. ;D Not even sure why I know this, but hey! ;D
 
I want another dog when i was looking after my mums friends dog I had to take it on long walks. My dog however is very old and just waddles home ones she has done her stuff not much of a walk LOL
 
No it has lost the elasticity and therefore the ability to ping back, although the "apron" of skin on my tummy has greatly reduced widthwise, it will never go completely, and the more weight I lose the worse the skin gets. If I am on my hands and knees say doing press ups ;D The skin hangs down in like a W shape.

Next year though I want my tummy tuck, have told hubby we're not having a holiday.

Ooh by the way, don't forget the benefits of lifting weights to tone your body, also this will increase your metabolism and your calorie burning, you don't have to go to the gym you can do this at home with say 2 litre drinks bottles or use your own body weight as resistance, and you wont end up like the women who advertise the Virgin phones, well not unless you want to ;D

I'm actually starting to do a lot more lifting wise as I want bulk up a bit more, much to the horror of my son. "Eww gross mum, your muscles are bigger than mine!" ;D
 
I was the same as Bev. I was a 16/18 in 2002 and weighed over 12 stone I stopped weighing after i reached that weight. I was not happy at that weight either. my weight has always yoyo-ed but thsi is the first timein my life where i have been slim for longer. now 4 years and i have had another child in between that. Definitely perfer my size now.

If you want to exercise the cheapest and easiest weigh of exercising is just to go for a walk. Even if you have health problems. my grandad who a year ago had a stroke and finds to hard to walk gets out and walks 15 minutes even if its hurts him. Just go to the shop or to the park. You will lose weight that way.

Dont use the word diet either. I think that puts people off. I hate the word.

You need to change your way of eating and thinking to a healthy one. smaller meals, no naff stuff, loads of fruit and veg and very important to chew your food. If you chew better its stops your tummy from wroking so hard and then the bloat and puffy tummy goes down. I dont chew that well sometimes.


Also weights are good for you but it does depend on your body. I do alot of CV and i'm toned.
 
I'll have to get some tips off you about the lifting weights Bev. I do have to be careful though cos I can't lift anything heavy or do certain things in case it brings on the sciatica again and I really don't want to go through that again.

Unless you're me, and you cant walk even with health problems! LOL ;D
 
Michelle i have all three too, the thyroid the pcos nad the diabetes but my doc keeps screaming at me literally and reducing me to tears saying ill die if i dont lose weight but she is a consultant and should know that its harder for me someone didnt teach here bedside manner >:(
 
I get pissed off because I run three times a week,and when I get home I do 120 sit ups and 20 press ups. I also use weights a lot and it doesn't seem to make any difference at all, except I know I am fit and my muscles are great - remember muscle weighs more than fat, and nearly all professional athletes are "overweight" because of this. I am just about to take up squash again - that really makes you sweat - and your hamstrings!

That is horrible of your doctor to do that! If that was me she would get a gobfull back!

They must know themselves that losing weight is never easy!
 
OMG! verity if my doc spoke to me like that I'd be arrested for assault. Can't you change docs? There is no way you should be treated like that
 
its awlful having a dr with a bad bedside manner is'nt it, my dr told me years ago after finding out i had had tests for MS in 92 that if he found out i had he would not tell me as he thought i would go down hill this was within half an hour of meeting him, now i am going through the tests again because i lost use of my right arm last year for about 5 months another dr sent me to neurologist and he said yep you have MS now to get the proof, so here i am now
every time i went back to him for sevear tiredness I had a blood test done 1st was PCOS 2nd was diabetes 3rd was underactive thyroid, then high blood presure then high colesterol, I said no way am seeing him again he keeps finding things wrong with me, lol
but you really should'nt put up with being treated like that, I just see another Dr at the surgery, the Dr should know just by saying you will die if you dont do this etc is madness that just adds to depression because you know how very hard it is to lose the weight with these health problems,
when ever i ask about losing weight they just say yes we'll get this probelm sorted first and dont seem too bothered, but i know I want to be fit and despite my health problems (I also have chronic degenerative arthirtis and spondelothesis of my back) I am determined to lose some this year, I think a lot of women get very depressed and down and lose their confidence because of being made to feel we're not the right body size or weight,
and another thing i cannot believe Kate Moss is thought to be beautiful she is sooooo ugly scrawny and frog eyes ( not just my opinions) I think the avergae size should be more like 14 and have you seen posh ugh she looked much better when she had some weight and short hair, just after Brooklyn was born,
well my bitchings done lol we're all beautiful in our own ways have you never thought why the old paintings are all of chubby ladys they were thought beautiful, big thighs big baggy boobs and big tummys if they were not beautiful why were they painted, ::)
 
who's been painting me too? LMAO

they never gave me big boobs, big everything else, yes! ;D
 
Nope i cantbecause I'm with NHS and they dont have any wish i could shes quite old maybe shell retire soon lmao x
 
As for giving her a gobful my mum comes with me and she gives me evils annnnnd always nods along with the dr! even though I'm in tears >:(
 
oh gosh, even though you are with with NHS, you have the right to change drs and don't have to give a reason.

I'll slap her for you! LMAO
