Hi everyone.
I Have been on epilepsy meds for 2 years and immediately piled on weight however did not realise how much. During an OH appointment yday I was weighed and I am 100kg at 5'6". My bmi is 36 and I'm 32 years old.
I didn't realise I was obese, I've been wearing a size 16- 18(started out as 10-12) which I didn't thing was that big (I have quite a broad frame so carry a bit of excess weight quite well) and was really humiliated when the nurse had to measure me because of my weight for OH reasons.
I need to shift about 40kg. With a reduced metabolism and serious fatigue, where do I even start?! I am going to try the gym tonight and MFP but if anyone has any ideas or similar stories of losing this kind of amount I would love to hear from you. It just seems such a big number to lose!!
Thanks all xx
