Hi. THere are so many forum sections that I don't really know where to start and say hello !
Basically - I'm very overweight and desperately want things to change. It pretty much all started out with a whole catalogue of disasters about 10 years ago. I really didn't cope and took to comfort eating. I piled on the weight.
I finally took control of myself last year and with complete change of diet managed to lose about 3 stone. However, we lost my gran, grandpa and an aunt all inside 3 months last year and I fell back off the wagon without even realising.
I really need a kick in the right direction.
I'm back on the wagon now - but really need some support, guidance and direction :wave_cry:
I've been "good" since the beginning of the year. Lost 7lb in first two weeks.. but somehow managed to put on 5lb in TWO days - eating barely anything and as close to zero carbs as possible. Is it possible to have that much water retention just before that time of the month ??? I can't believe I can possibly have put on that much that quick. My intake is very low and I'm putting in a fair bit of excercise (walked 4 miles home from the horses on Sunday after 1 hour riding and 2 hours mucking out the field.) I'll walk 30 mins or so most nights - more when the weather is better ... plus as soon as the nights are lighter I can spend evenings riding etc..
