Hi all,
I'm a brand new member looking for some inspiration. I am getting married next year (winter 2012) and so have about a year and a half to lose weight. And there's a lot to lose! About 6 stone ideally, and even that would be the minimum i'd want to lose. I could do with losing about 8 in total but think that might be a bit optimistic in that time.. I have had several ankle surgeries and am waiting for another one and have been banned from doing any exercise at all (including swimming!) for the last 3 years which means I can't use that to help me lose anything, and its actually made me put on weight so I'm now 20 stone.
I dont eat a high fat or sugar diet, (no takeaways, no ready meals, no crisps or biscuits). My real issue is portion control, as even thought i eat lots of home made meals, cooked from scratch, with lots of veggies etc, I get really hungry with an hour or two if I dont have a really big plate of food.
My doctor tried me on Orlistat last year (Xenical) but it didnt do anything (I guess because I dont really eat a lot of fat). And I am now panicking that I've got a year and a half to lose loads of weight and I dont know how to get going? Any tips?
