And while I am at it can anything be done about my bingo wings and belly?

I lost 54lbs about 3/4 yrs ago - I have kept the weight off but there are bits of me that are quite flabby

I weight 10st 7lbs & I am a comfy size 14/16 but not Terribly over weight - my BMI is 25

Any ideas?

Glandular ever?

That is the one..although you probably would know if you had it, as it is meant to be very painful....

Oh, obviously water retention can be a real problem, and all sort of infections can get you to retain water....

I was tested for it 5 times in 4 yrs as a teenager - turns out I had ME

I think this is the same virus I had before Christmas

3andnomore, how are you? I was missing your posts you used to send on on www.mumsnet.com/Talk/1378/377428

3andnomore · 20/01/2008 22:12

OH...feeling all fat and unfit right now, lol....must start doing somehting about it again....sigh...and I did so well last year and then changed from imp[lant to pill and after minipill didn't work to a combined one...and since I have been constantly hungry...

other then that I am good, and feeling positive, as hopefully I will start a degree in September (Occupational Therapy)...and I can't wait to start.

How are you doing?

fedda · 20/01/2008 22:26

I also was doing well but just before Christmas, when some presents started to arrive un wrapped and i could see they were chockies, do I need to continue? Your guess is right, espessially the once with nuts - my weekness! In Christmas I had some people staying with us, so overeating and teas and coffees with biscuits and chocolates became norm. I started to go back to eating more sort of sensibly but with faults from 7/01. I'm not following any diet any more, I just try to include fruit and veg in my meals and I still have water rather then juice with my meals. My weight is not as much as it was before I started but more compare with November. I feel positive though as well.

Well weird

No I don't think I am ill enough for glandular fever (no fever to start off with)

OP posts:
3andnomore · 20/01/2008 23:04
