weight loss-week one!
Posted , 3 users are following.
Ok, so I am not medically obese, but i have to lose weight as i had a major operation earlier this year to remove a huge tumour along with all of my tissue surrounding my left buttock/hip. as i have been extremely less mobile since the op, i have put on weight quickly, going from 10st to 13st in 6months! My docs have told me that i wil just continue to put on weight and it will not stop and i'd end up in a wheelchair, as my joint could not take the pressure of me standing .I lost some weight on my own,by basically starving myself, and eating child-like portions. I already have a very good diet, but obviously my mobility is the issue for me. so here is my progress on week one:
Starting weight: 79.1kg
Week one: 77.8kg
I am extremely pleased that there is actually something out there to help me.

My main reason for losing weight is because my joints are beginning to show the strain of carrying me around overweight for many, many years. It is helping with the mobility so I trust as you reduce you will be able to move more. I can now walk for over an hour - not exactly painfree but better and better each day.
Onward and downward....best wishes.

its nice to have somebody who understands the joint issue, it is so hard to get motivated tom move when you know that it is going to cause you pain. thankyou for your words, inspirational!!

If, like one day we went to a country park, and ended up walking 4 km.....well for two days after I was hobbling around....it was just a bit far for my hip joints...they are the worst...feet next (feels like all the bones are in the wrong place!) and then knees give problems going downhill. Today I walked nearly two miles, steaming when I got home as I was trying to avoid a massive shower but felt good afterward even though my size 18 (!!!) trousers got soaked a little distance from home. Need waterproof trousers for Winter walks.
All the best for a more mobile future.
