I have quite an amount of loose skin built up from my weight loss, my skin is prone to stretch marks and such so I’m just genetically not very elastic
have to be honest, going under the knife has crossed my mind but I also am scared that’ll make it worse. I am going to the gym, and I am told that slowly it is looking better but it is taking a long time.
I don’t know this doctor, I don’t know the credentials but interesting anyway
It is what it is, I have to be happy with myself really I think. But definitely finding exercise and focussed training is a good way to help here, I’m just rather impatient!
I tend to think those celebrity weight loss where they lose all the weight and are suddenly buff, 6 pack and not a mark in sight are unrealistic and harmful, real life doesn’t work that way
so, we are all on this thread making an effort, and all should be celebratedsaggy bits and all
I think going slow and steady and maybe if you can looking into the exercises that can help tone the areas can help. I lost weight during lockdown so couldn’t go to the gym, I don’t go as much as I would like but am finding it is slowly helpingMy downfall has been steroids when I have several asthma attacks close together. Also my diabetic doctor has me on medication that will aid weight gain even though she wants me to lose weight. I am being referred for a weight loss programme and would like to do Slimming World online if I can. I have a lot of weight to lose and I do worry about the loose skin if I lose 4st. I worry it will cause me a lot of problems like chafing and sore skin in the folds of skin.
Good morning, I’m a bit confused this morning. Despite restarting swimming twice each week and gardening I have put on 3lbs since last week! I hope this is a temporary blip.

It could be inflammation from working extra hard. I get tight swollen hands and ankles if I do too much. It can add a few pounds from water retention. See what you weigh next week?Good morning, I’m a bit confused this morning. Despite restarting swimming twice each week and gardening I have put on 3lbs since last week!

Let us know how you get on. Scan on pancreas?12.03
Weight this week 45.1kg.
No gain but at least it's not a loss.
The doctor has ordered more extensive tests and a scan.
I have now lost nearly 10kg in four months.
Mine showed up gallbladder and liver changes. Now gallbladder is out and liver has its moments. Bowel has been affected by old surgery but keeps getting interfered with by adhesions before gallbladder op. So awaiting consultant but back op is happening in next few weeks. Any improvement for walking will be great. Fingers crossed. Keep me updated @SlimLizzyHi ickihun
Seems to be general abdomen, pelvic scan.
My old faithful reliable weight loss aid is eat loss carb and low calorie. Low carb for fatty liver. As fatty liver stops weight loss. Low calorie as high calorie doesn't help me lose weight but they have to be a duel effort or I'm wasting my time. Now I'm pressured into eating to FODMAP. Only if it fits the dual weight loss plan I've decided and I won't be changing that, not for a while anyway. How do you feel about low carb& low calorie for you? When do you lose any weight no matter how small?Wow ickihun, you’ve a lot going on!!! Well done on the blood glucose levels and getting out and about. I hope your back operation goes well and that COVID remains mild for you.
Your message has come at a great time and reminded me to stay positive. Another week of the same weight. I tried upping my activity but it wiped me out for a few days - guess the thyroid isn’t quite right after all. Or worse that I just can’t do exercise together with daily activity anymore (it’s one or the other), in which case I have no idea how to actually lose weight!
Gah, I have a few things to try yet and will keep on tweaking to see if I can find the right combo.
