Weight loss - please help!

[CeciliaMars]

I started taking HRT a year ago and I’m aware I’ve been putting on weight. I just weighed myself and am the biggest I’ve ever been. I need to lose about 1.5 stones. I’ve lost weight before but I have very little time these days and 3 kids under 10… does anyone have any good ideas or tips for me? I’m going to start walking to work, swapping snacks for fruit. I don’t really drink anyway. Help!

WLInjections. Had already spent a couple of years walking everywhere and increased the gym to 4x/week for the previous year. But was unable to shift it and over time those last couple of years my weight crept up from 1.5 stone to 3.5-4 stone over.

Oh god, really?! In my head, I’m not a ‘big’ person, but I’m creeping towards a size 16 and my bra size has gone up after a lifetime of being the same so I can’t really ignore the signs anymore.. I’m scared stiff of the injections! How much do they cost? How common are the side effects??

If you only need to lose 1.5 stones, it is unlikely you will qualify for wli , although a size 16 unless very tall or muscular would often fit into the obese category, so you need to give height and weight for folks to help you.

5 ft 7, 12 stone 12 ish..

I’m in menopause on my hrt etc, lost 2.5 stone this year calorie counting. It’s not quick, it gets tedious but the results have been amazing.
I’ve so much more energy no longer take acid reflux medicine and I’ve dropped two dress sizes.
no intervention other than me and an app on my phones give it one month and see where you are with a loss

Do you mind me asking which app you’re using? There’s so many to choose from!
