i did used to be on the depro injection for a year and i gained alot of weight i was a size 8-10, i went up to a size 16/18 thats 3/4 sizes more
then managed to slim to a size 12 and stayed at 11 stone till i fell for my lil girl and im now weight- 185lbs
Maintenance calories/day 2030
Fat loss calories/ day 1480-1624 for the 1-2lbs per week loss *healthy*
I have 3 stone to lose = 42lbs *14lbs in 1 stone*
giving my self 6 months to get to this, but most of this is extra skin from my liposuction last year and i was left with excess skin wich makes me look like i need a thigh lift !! but i do have a lateral thigh trainer, some weights and dumbells and yoga dvd stability ball and dvd...
i lack the get up and go. i have fibromalgylia and i got IBS also mainly i have alot of pain and depression,
would really like to make new friends and get motivation to exercise again
I have joined the gym and made a start on new activity Saturdays are ballet
I have a real addiction to chocolate which has calmed down now I make myself either a chocolate milkshake or hot chocolate
I did a week food diary and found I don't eat up to my daily allowance which is probably why for a year I have been stuck at 13 stone !!
I'm not a hungry person thou

and I found the more vegetables and fibre I eat It makes a difference in my weight!! I shall make a journal soon with all my ups and downs I lack motivation !! and I am always tired

enough of me waffling on

Welcome here Clarissa! I hope you can find what you need here to help with motivation and such. It works for me. I'm sorry to hear about your medical problems, I know it makes it tough. One of my best friends has Fibromyalgia; she loves being active though, and curls all winter. Ballet sounds like a good workout!
