I've NC since I last posted a few months ago and lurk on this board. I might not post much but several awesome posts on here from some of you guys, inspired me 2 months ago and plus a consultation with my consultant when he said "you have x auto immune disease -you will always be overweight it will never come off, there is no point in trying" -well bugger me - as of today I've lost 2 stone and 3 pounds -I'm on Week 6 of Coach to 5 K I can run flat out for 20 minutes -6 weeks ago I cried as I couldn't run for one minute -never mind 20.
I ate shit. I was 4 stone over-weight.
I limped coming down the stairs and my knees and ankles hurt. I had no energy and was looking at becoming 50 -and I burst into tears to my mum and saying "I don't want this auto immune disease to kill me, or get diabetes etc" and her saying -you can do it and you will do it.
Out went the cake and crap. In came soup, meat, veg and eating sensibly. Hungry at work - not a packet of biscuits but a fruit pot with grapes and watermelon etc. 6 weeks I couldn't walk up the "tower" at work -100 plus steps and no lift. On Friday I not only walked up quickly but carried someone else's stuff and I did it 3 times.
So two fingers up at my consultant at the hospital -when I have my physical next appointment in December - I hope to have lost another stone -I'm not going back.
I have some way to go. But I was size me + 2 sizes more. Today I went shopping to buy new work clothes as the old ones keep falling down. I had to buy two sizes down -two whole sizes. My face is melting, I am melting and I want to say thank you!
