Hi All
Its been years since I used a diet forum, but I think now is the time to as I really need to get my ass in gear and go on a diet that will work.
Over the years I have been fine at 18 stone, it really didn't bother me, as the years passed and my weight increased until I reached 22 stone... until the birth of my daughter when I took the bull by the horns and went on the Cambridge diet for 16 weeks and lost about 10 stone.
All was well besides the loose skin around my waist but I got into a size 36 pair of jeans, something I had not done for over 20 years and an my very first suit I wore at the age of 14
...
On the other hand the doctors who had *****ed at me for many years about being healthy and a proper weight then took a dim view of the weight loss... came off the diet and only put on 3lbs in 6 months, I was working out...life was happy... due to the amount of weight lost I got sent to one of the local hospitals for cancer checks.... everything came through clear then Drs still weren't happy and wanted me to increase my weight from 13stone to 15.7stone...16 stone at most...but then I wouldn't me the correct BMI ...this was only the beginning of a roller coaster of medical treatment,I ended up getting abscess in the roof of my mouth twice within 12 months, had wisdom teeth removed, tonsils removed which lead to a large amounts of steroids and medication.. which ballooned my weight up the scales to 18stone ... then I proceeded to sustain a back injury at work, which after 15 weeks off work and the advice to go back nothing wrong with me, it reaped its ugly head 12 months down the line,...so after 28 weeks off work and my employers ended my contract which I lost my accommodation .....this back problem still not sorted out but after months of being off and my weight increasing to about 23 stone, I'm effectively back at square one....
My back issue / pain doesn't seem to be getting any better, injections , physio... I'm still in pain sitting and standing...... yet I have more injections to come... but I really need to deal with this weight issue, think the advice was by lightening the my body mass would take the strain off my back ...well I am at the cross roads, its either do it or suffer.... Ive tried most diets and the only ones that seem to work are the liquid diets....no food at all
