No tips or suggestions but just to say I know how you feel. It's a constant struggle just to get started.

Very well done. I am similar height to you and have a lot to lose. By tackling your loss at your age you've done the best thing as I should have done. Now 20 years down the line from you I still need to lose weight and of course it's more than it ever was before. Thanks for taking the time to...

I have a positive story too. I started ttc at 26. Pcos meant no luck so tried various things. Metformin, clomid, iui a few times. Then finally I lost a couple of stone around my 30th birthday and combined with this I tried ivf. I was still 2 or 3 stone overweight though. Ivf worked first time...

I usually get periods every 5 weeks or so but have skipped for 4 months now. Not PG, I have checked. I am 39. Saw GP and she is sending me for blood tests for early menopause but also for diabetes. Anyone have similar experiences?

Same here :(

Well done. That weight loss is great. A real achievement !

Thanks so much. Much better today. Have lost a pound this week so will plod along and do my best. Off out for a walk to get back some extra calories I have eaten x

Very good work :)

Ah thanks. Yes I have signed up to Mfp after seeing it on here and I like it. Although I am struggling today. Every time I think I am on a good track I slip back a bit then think it's all been a waste of time. So very depressing at times. Sorry to be so glum xx

Hmm I think I should have been a little clearer. I find it hard to stay as low as 1200 calories a day. Sometimes by evening I have only 150 cals left for dinner. I wondered whether 1200 could be a bit low for me. Probably hence the reason I'm so overweight in the first place!

Thank you guys very much for the advice. Do you think the avocado would be a culprit too then? I am out for dinner tonight with no choice of menu but I think I won't take a pill tonight just in case I have to rush off mid meal. I also find it hard to stick to 1200 calories. Is this necessary or...

Hmm. Two foods I suspect don't agree with xen. Had a salad made with a small amount of each followed by a toilet accident. Is there anything you can do to avoid this problem when you are eating healthy fats? Thanks, advice appreciated as only in first week and a little unsure.

I totally get that. It has taken me years of thinking I look fine to get into this mess. Who am I trying to kid?

Hi both of you. Just starting out today too although did take orlistat for short while about a year ago so I have an idea what to expect. I too have a lot to lose and similarly about 3 years ago I lost 2.5 stone with just healthy eating and exercise and have now put it on plus more. I have a...

Sorry just getting used to iPad! Should read myfitnesspal! Haha!

Thanks again. Been for nice walk in pouring rain too to burn some calories too and joined murky ewe al which is great. What an amazing app. Does anyone want to be friends on that? My username on there is same as on here. Also just had bag of Velvet crunch crisps supposed to be 70% less fat and...

Thanks for tips. I am starting tomorrow too. My doc didn't tell me about the fat grams so that is really useful information. Thanks. Also a newbie to this site. Ruthie x
