New member ME looking for help and advice (on slimming world)

[Harrietcc]

Hi all, I am a new member, 25 years old trying to lose 2/3 stone on slimming world but I have ME and I am really struggling with the exercise that I would like to do.

I never had a problem with weight gain or exercising until I started feeling unwell two years ago. Now I struggle to keep up with any exercise regime and no matter how hard I try the weight doesn't to seem to want to shift. If anyone has any tips please let me know.

I am doing slimming world and have been for about six months.

Hi I started SW again last week again. 2 years ago a lost loads of weight and went to the gym 5/6 times a day. Before I joined the gym I never exercised and was nervous about exercising in front of people. After a few months I felt great. Keep at it. I'm here for you!!x

Hi Harriet, Welcome to the forum.

I do sympathise with you..having ME is such an awful thing to deal with. My DIL and youngest D both suffer with it and I know that they are quite ill from time to time. Hope you manage to stick to your decision to lose those extra few pounds and I wish you well in your endeavour..

Thanks very much for the replies and support, I have managed to do three decent workouts this week. I have also looked into getting a personal trainer who might be able to help me xx

So I got a little gadget for my wii fit which I am very pleased with. Its not very technical, simply 4 'steps' that fit under each foot of the wii fit balance boot raising it up about half a foot, therefore when I use my wii fit now I have to put more effort it, hoping this will make a bit of difference to the amount of calories I burn. xx
