Total Life change..and shock to the system
bezzabsa:
Well after my latest problems with my knee, been to the Drs again tonight, and his answer is that I have the start of (excuse spelling) Osteo arthritis, along with a VERY long name - that basically means I have a 'cracking' patella (knee cap)!
Also while I was there i was weighed - measured - and sat down for a lecture..
LOng and short of it is.. I am 5' 11" and My BMI is 41.5 :oops: :shock: and I HAVE to loose nearly 10 stones to be my PERFECT weight - or 8 to get to an acceptable level..
So as from next week I am on ORLISTAT a fat retaining pill.....
So NO
chips, crisps, margerine, curries, nuts, cheese....and the list goes on !
BUT if it goes the way I want at least i'll be able to say I did it - and also see my children grow old!!
So any LOW or NON fat recipes you have pm em to me ;)

Jess says you can have her book '1000 low fat recipes' She is now 7 mths pregnant and has a baloon for a belly :lol: (me too) pm address if you want it
Kinda know how you feel with knees, previous torn ligaments and fractured patella still give me trouble
Best of luck with diet,

I hate Doctors that shout their mouths off about BMIs there is no such thing as perfect weight applied by BMI.
To lose weight you have to eat less and exercise once you start exercising you'll start toning muscle once you start toning muscle you'll build muscle weight - size for size muscle weighs twice the weight of fat so losing weight goes out the window :roll:
Mind you bezzabsa you are errrrrrrr.... a bit over weight :D but I guess you didn't need anyone to tell you about that :lol:
You'll probably lose a stone even a stone and a half in a month and then your weight will probably plateau and that is when you'll need a diet that doctors seem to know little about. Go see your local gym staff and see whether they can help you.
I wish you sucess

Believe me - I knew I had put on weight -but didnt realise how much, in 2 years i have put on 28 kilos!!
The Doc didnt suggest the weight loss - I basically was told that in 10 years at my curent weight I would either be diabetic or dead! and after my heart scare 2 years ago it hurt to hear that, so he suggested losing weight - and because of my BMI put me on the tablets that absorb fat - and if I do eat it I had better be near to a toilet :shock:
