What could be wrong?

[stealthpony]

I'm on the verge of giving up. I can not lose weight and I've never struggled so hard before. I've been trying since Jan to lose weight and have lost a pathetic one stone. Most people could shit that out in a few weeks.

I've done EVERYTHING possible. I'm currently on the most drastic diet I have ever been on (being monitored by my GP so it's not me being stupid) which is less than 1000 calories per day. And I am on Xenical. I'm lucky to lose 1lb a month, it's just awful.

Today my GP agreed it's time for blood tests as this really is not normal. I'm not grossly obese my bmi is 31 5'9 and a size 16. I look almost normal.

What could be wrong with me? I'm hugely worried. I ddont want to have to spend the next two years trying to lose another stone and a half because I'm totally miserable with my freaky diet just now. I want to be normal! Had anyone else had this problem or heard of something similar?

make sure your doc checks for Polysystic Overies

bump for stealth to see if she is still about...

Im an exaclty the same as you.. how did the tests go..????

I dont know what to say OP, it sounds like you are doing everything possible to help yourself.

Do you keep a food diary? Drink lots of water, eat low fat?

Could it be that the Xenical tablets dont work for you?

jax just to let you know, stealth posted this oct 2010. I have bumped it to see how she is doing now... 5 months on...

chances are she is sorted or on route to being sorted .

oh! shhh must check dates before posting.

Hope stealth comes on and tells us she has lost loads and all is ok.

.

That the trouble when you bump a thread to find out how someone is doing lol!

stealth.. you about..? I have tried to serach for posts of hers in the last 3 months but nothing... unless she has changed names.

is this stealthpolarbear? or someone else?

Not sure... it could be..

do you know spb..?

try allaboutw8 it works

no shhh not personally, but I see her post often.

Best to send PM to OP?

oh never thought of that... I guess it would still reach them as its just the name thats changed and not necesarrily the account..

will try that, just curious as to how she got on

Yes, I namechanged a few months ago, and still get PMs addressed to old name. You could ask them to come back and post an update?

I have sent them a message.. hopefully they will return .

Thanks fod. x
