"Not really much I can do about mine, I used to be a size 6-8, now more of a 12. Down to ill health and medication that made me put about 3 stone on! Lost some when I stopped it, but settled where I am now. I don't really eat much, but I can't move enough to change it lol so yeah, here we are, more to love " I hate side effects of meds. Hugs.

"Not happy with having put back on the 3 stone I lost a couple of years ago. I could blame lockdown but it's my own lack of willpower and greedy nature. It wasn't helped by lockdown as I had to stop my daily swimming, but old habits do die hard and I know the motivation hasn't been there for me to do anything about it. I'm back on it now but I won't be obsessively weighing myself like I was last time I lost weight. I'm more chilled about it now. " There’s more to life than weighing and calorie count! I used to calorie count everything (log it, I still kinda do it as a habit..) and it was a nightmare .. | |||

"People get too focused on weight…. But it’s so ouch more …. Measurements, how you feel within yourself….getting on the scales too often isn’t beneficial. How clothes fit is a good indicator, or how you look in the mirror….just don’t become obsessed and as long as you’re happy and life is balanced then it’s all good… we all need treats " Well said!! I totally agree and that’s why I kinda ditched the scales x (for the most part) | |||

"Are you happy with your weight? Do you weigh yourself regularly? And for the ones comfortable, do the reveal? I’m gonna use kg as it’s easier My current weight is about 62-63kg and I’m happy with it. My lowest was 58 (when I was too obsessed about it many moons ago) my heighest maybe 67-68kg I don’t check the scales near as much now, but I have to be careful as my bod doesn’t burn as much " Nope not happy with mine at all. Need to lose about 10kg and hate being out of shape for the first time in my life. And it's bloody hard trying to lose it. | |||

(You look fabulous, by the way) I was a size 10/12 20 yrs ago. Then a chronic health condition hit me hard. Gradually increased to a size 16 which I could cope with, but lockdown has piled on 2 stone. I'm now a pretty unhappy 18-20. What do I do about it? Eat pizza & chocolate! I need more sex to burn off the chub! | |||

"I don't know how much I weigh, nut I have lots of health problems so sometimes get weighed when I see the nurse. Sometimes they lack sensitivity and choose to tell me without asking. Let's just day I weigh a LOT more than I would like, and should. I don't know what my weight in kg is in stones but I could do with losing a couple if stone. I lack muscle tone so my weight really is mostly fat. Sadly it's not on my boobs. I get people like body positivity and confidence but sometimes you just despise your reflection. I know what BDD is like and it's not easy. I don't think i would be happy at any size but I really need to lose weight and get fit." It's bad that your Dr/nurse are so unthinking. I presume they know how you feel about knowing your weight? It's so hard for some people of any size to be body confident, especially in today's social media culture. They will always find something that isn't' right'. | |||

They will always find something that isn't' right'. " I agree. I find that there aren't a lot of people my size put there that talk about body confidence. I'm mid size, and I tend to see a lot of very slim and toned people or plus size, which is fine but there aren't so many who are a size 10-12 so it's hard to know where I fit in I've not looked after my health in the past so I'm really unfit and do need to work on exercising and getting myself stronger. Being visually impaired is making that harder as I can't just go out hogging and it's a bit risky using gym equipment unless at home. I live with a hoarder so I'm very, very limited for space even in the garden. It's frustrating but I hope I can find a way to get fit. It's good for your mind and overall health which is most important. | |||

That's the point " During my weight reduction drive, when I'd got down to 16 stoneish, I was found to be Type 2 Diabetic and also had a minor heart attack 2y ago. Coupled with the much reduced wear & tear on my legs & back after carrying around so much surplus, I feel a lot fitter and am able to do some fairly heavy jobs trying to get my "garden" into some sort of order. | |||

Yes I did and I fully understand medical conditions. Many motorbike riders I've helped get back on to the track after very serious crashes including myself. It's all about your level of desire and determination. Sure people can point the finger at me and call me whatever, but the truth is to get anything done in life it's going to be hard work. And that's where the finger pointing comes in. From people not prepared to do the work and expect to breeze through life. | |||

How is it acceptable to label a whole group of people of being lazy? It isn’t, it’s just plain rude. | |||

"I'm not happy with my weight at all. I'm probably the least confident I've ever been. I gained around 3 stone when pregnant and then a stone afterwards. I'm fortunate I don't carry much in my stomach, but I'm not happy with what I see in the mirror. I'm slowly making changes, but with bad mental health it's a difficult journey. If only it was simple. I try to remember to be kind to myself. And that our weight does not define our worth, and anyone who thinks it does belongs in the trash. " one day at a time set little goals so when you achieve them it's a feel good factor then push to then next one.. Good luck with the journey | |||

"Why care about weight and size? As long as you are happy with your self who cares what others think. Im 36 waist and I weigh 15 and half stone. And no fucks given why because Im happy with myself." mate i thought i was happy put on some timber enjoyed my beer and food having a laff etc but found i was out of breath walking up a hill or sweating lots on warm days etc only after losing a lot did i realise how better i felt like a hundred times better so glad i did even tho have more to lose i know some people have medical issues etc but to be honest for most its lack of exercise and the wrong food and the reason they should care about their weight and size is health risks down the line heart issues strokes other diseases etc i know people will come on here and say im 20 stone and the dr says hes never seen anyone fitter etc etc but thats the exception not true for most people most people are at risk being fat not all and like i said some have medical conditions and cant help it but for most its better to lose weight for the long term health thats why they worry about it | |||

"Apart from medical conditions which people have a lot of weight is down to one thing. Being lazy. Stop eating rubbish food and sitting on your backsides watching TV. And if your going to watch TV place a rowing machine or spin cycle in front of it and work out. No ifs no buts. No excuses. It's a hard battle you gonna tell me your a loser? I can’t stand attitudes like this one. You have just labelled every overweight person as lazy. That is just pure ignorance. He did say apart from medical conditions.... Yes he did. He always digs at overweight people. So everyone apart from those with medical conditions are lazy? I feel it is ignorance to the issues that allows people to talk like that. How is it acceptable to label a whole group of people of being lazy? It isn’t, it’s just plain rude. " It's very rude indeed. And doesn't help anyone. I don't see the need to label people like that. I wouldn't mind but I know plenty of people who are slimmer than me yet I'm more active and have a much healthier diet. Yet, nobody is calling them lazy and telling them to exercise. I don't see the need to be unkind. You never know why someone is the weight they are. It's completely unnecessary. | |||

"I'm not happy with my weight at all. I'm probably the least confident I've ever been. I gained around 3 stone when pregnant and then a stone afterwards. I'm fortunate I don't carry much in my stomach, but I'm not happy with what I see in the mirror. I'm slowly making changes, but with bad mental health it's a difficult journey. If only it was simple. I try to remember to be kind to myself. And that our weight does not define our worth, and anyone who thinks it does belongs in the trash. one day at a time set little goals so when you achieve them it's a feel good factor then push to then next one.. Good luck with the journey " Thank you! 20lbs down in the last few months so finally seeing some small changes. | |||

Genetics are a factor but you will not gain or stay the same if you burn more than you consume. I know 5ft 2 20st people who are now 9st through diet and exercise. Gastric band is good if you csn get one fitted and are morbidly obese but you have to work hard too. If you dont have time for the gym then get up an hour earlier and go for a brisk walk. Drink more water. Plan meals. | |||

"I have stabilised around 8.5 stone this last yr which is good for me. I dropped below 8 before that due to medical reasons and hated the way I looked. I struggle to keep weight on as one flare up can set me right back so I have to be really sensibly boring about what I can eat, which becomes a bit of a misery in itself. " Xxxx | |||

He very graciously did, didn't he And what of hormones.... They play a big part and what of mental health. I'd suggest that being called lazy simply because you don't have the 'excuse' of a medical condition might be quite damaging. Let's so not forget psychological factors around weight gain. Past traumas with food etc. Of course these could be lumped in with the term 'medical conditions' but they very rarely are. People don't think food addiction is real. People don't think that fear of starvation can trigger binge eating etc. Just waiting on another well known antifat user to chime in. And now we see why some people further up the thread were reticent in divulging something so terribly personal as their weight on here. | |||

"I love all these weight threads. Because they're full of people who make sweeping statements about others, usually that anyone overweight eats too much and doesn't move enough. While in some cases that's true, in others it really isn't. I don't move enough. Mainly because of chronic pain. When I can, I do. But I also eat next to nothing, because I have an appalling relationship with food that was drilled into me at an early age. I feel guilty every time I eat anything (I was going to say put anything in my mouth, but that's just not true ) and in order for me to eat in front of people I have to be exceedingly comfortable. I don't eat crap often at all because I don't have it in the house and can't afford takeaways anyway. The moment I have any kind of stress in my life, my digestive system rebels and I can hardly keep anything down at all. That used to only mean solid food. These days it can also mean something as innocuous as water. And I'm fat. I'm massively overweight. And yet I suffer from malnutrition and technically am anorexic with bulimic tendencies. My body holds on to any food I take in and doesn't let go. About 10 years ago, with the bullying of my sister, I managed to find the strength to eat properly, and have never eaten so much in my life. I lost 10 stone and went down to 14 stone and a size 14. I was still overweight. I was going to the gym and swimming 5 days a week and running every morning. I walked everywhere. I was really fit, despite being still told I was overweight and still being fat. And then I had my next operation on my back, and my next 5 over the years. And I almost completely stopped eating because I couldn't exercise. The weight still returned (some of it) despite the fact that as soon as I was able each time I was walking everywhere and swimming again. So to everyone who is making sweeping statements about calorie deficits, about fasting, about eat less and move more, stick that in your pipe and smoke it. I've got a much nicer shape now than I've ever had. My body seems to have settled at its happy weight and shape. And I'm learning to love it. That's all that matters. Not a number on a scale. Unless you have a health problem (and I'm including mental health here) that is DIRECTLY connected to you being over or underweight, my advice is stop worrying about the number and try to learn to love yourself." | |||

"Try intermittent fasting ,16 fast 8 eating window. Initially ,done bother refining the diet just eat withing that window of 8 hrs. I've read that gating isn't really good for women's bodies as our physiology is different. Read up about gut health and its effect on weight. I read that you should aim to eat 30 different fruit, veg, nuts, seeds and pulses to help with the diversity of your gut bacteria." I’d disagree, I used to do 5:2, I’d do hiit training most days, including my fast days, I was super fit and toned, I even got my 6 pack back after having kids (I’ve lost it again now ) | |||

"Mr KC is 6ft 4 and weighs about 72kg. How much exercise does he do? He walks places but that's it. In his own words, he's "allergic" to sports and exercise. He's hated it since school. He has very little muscle mass to the point I worry about what will be left when he starts to get old and lose muscle mass (as everyone does as after a certain age). Mrs KC (me) weighs about 94kg. Yes, I'm fat/overweight. What exercise do I do? Gym; play wheelchair basketball; push 5 or 10k on the road; go horse riding and am going to be starting wheelchair track racing next week. I've always been active. At school, I represented in hockey, rounders, tennis and athletics. I competed at county level in discus. But I was ALWAYS overweight. Other than as a very young child, I have always been chubby. My upper body is muscular and incredibly strong. I've lost significant muscle mass on my thighs (plus significant atrophy of my left calf) due to my inability to weight bear and walk much anymore. I can push my fat ass up any incline that's been put in front of me. I've taken my chair up/down rocky cliff paths and across country. In the gym, I lift more than many guys. I can tow the best part of 100kg behind my chair on the prowler. Etc. No matter how much exercise I do, I've never been able to get my weigh below about 88kg (that was in March 2020). The lack of formal exercise opportunities during lockdown has been really difficult. Despite there having been exemptions for organised sport for disabled people, all our venues closed completely and only reopened in May this year. It's incredibly difficult to lose weight using wheelchair based exercise. Mr KC and I eat the same foods, I have much smaller portions. Yet he is as he is and I am as I am. I despise my body, not just because it's fat, but also because it's broken. My vagina is broken. My leg/hip/foot doesn't work. My back and pelvis are knackered. My left shoulder seems to be starting to fall to bits too. If anyone wants to tell me I'm lazy/stupid or whatever else, please come and say it to my face. And don't think I can't catch you if you run away - I overtake people on foot whilst pushing uphill. Slow fuckers " you are an incredible lady. | |||

"I love all these weight threads. Because they're full of people who make sweeping statements about others, usually that anyone overweight eats too much and doesn't move enough. While in some cases that's true, in others it really isn't. I don't move enough. Mainly because of chronic pain. When I can, I do. But I also eat next to nothing, because I have an appalling relationship with food that was drilled into me at an early age. I feel guilty every time I eat anything (I was going to say put anything in my mouth, but that's just not true ) and in order for me to eat in front of people I have to be exceedingly comfortable. I don't eat crap often at all because I don't have it in the house and can't afford takeaways anyway. The moment I have any kind of stress in my life, my digestive system rebels and I can hardly keep anything down at all. That used to only mean solid food. These days it can also mean something as innocuous as water. And I'm fat. I'm massively overweight. And yet I suffer from malnutrition and technically am anorexic with bulimic tendencies. My body holds on to any food I take in and doesn't let go. About 10 years ago, with the bullying of my sister, I managed to find the strength to eat properly, and have never eaten so much in my life. I lost 10 stone and went down to 14 stone and a size 14. I was still overweight. I was going to the gym and swimming 5 days a week and running every morning. I walked everywhere. I was really fit, despite being still told I was overweight and still being fat. And then I had my next operation on my back, and my next 5 over the years. And I almost completely stopped eating because I couldn't exercise. The weight still returned (some of it) despite the fact that as soon as I was able each time I was walking everywhere and swimming again. So to everyone who is making sweeping statements about calorie deficits, about fasting, about eat less and move more, stick that in your pipe and smoke it. I've got a much nicer shape now than I've ever had. My body seems to have settled at its happy weight and shape. And I'm learning to love it. That's all that matters. Not a number on a scale. Unless you have a health problem (and I'm including mental health here) that is DIRECTLY connected to you being over or underweight, my advice is stop worrying about the number and try to learn to love yourself." Another fighter! Jo.Xx | |||

"Mr KC is 6ft 4 and weighs about 72kg. How much exercise does he do? He walks places but that's it. In his own words, he's "allergic" to sports and exercise. He's hated it since school. He has very little muscle mass to the point I worry about what will be left when he starts to get old and lose muscle mass (as everyone does as after a certain age). Mrs KC (me) weighs about 94kg. Yes, I'm fat/overweight. What exercise do I do? Gym; play wheelchair basketball; push 5 or 10k on the road; go horse riding and am going to be starting wheelchair track racing next week. I've always been active. At school, I represented in hockey, rounders, tennis and athletics. I competed at county level in discus. But I was ALWAYS overweight. Other than as a very young child, I have always been chubby. My upper body is muscular and incredibly strong. I've lost significant muscle mass on my thighs (plus significant atrophy of my left calf) due to my inability to weight bear and walk much anymore. I can push my fat ass up any incline that's been put in front of me. I've taken my chair up/down rocky cliff paths and across country. In the gym, I lift more than many guys. I can tow the best part of 100kg behind my chair on the prowler. Etc. No matter how much exercise I do, I've never been able to get my weigh below about 88kg (that was in March 2020). The lack of formal exercise opportunities during lockdown has been really difficult. Despite there having been exemptions for organised sport for disabled people, all our venues closed completely and only reopened in May this year. It's incredibly difficult to lose weight using wheelchair based exercise. Mr KC and I eat the same foods, I have much smaller portions. Yet he is as he is and I am as I am. I despise my body, not just because it's fat, but also because it's broken. My vagina is broken. My leg/hip/foot doesn't work. My back and pelvis are knackered. My left shoulder seems to be starting to fall to bits too. If anyone wants to tell me I'm lazy/stupid or whatever else, please come and say it to my face. And don't think I can't catch you if you run away - I overtake people on foot whilst pushing uphill. Slow fuckers " You, woman, are fucking amazing. You're an inspiration every day. And you rock | |||

"Are you happy with your weight? Do you weigh yourself regularly? And for the ones comfortable, do the reveal? I’m gonna use kg as it’s easier My current weight is about 62-63kg and I’m happy with it. My lowest was 58 (when I was too obsessed about it many moons ago) my heighest maybe 67-68kg I don’t check the scales near as much now, but I have to be careful as my bod doesn’t burn as much " Not happy but doing something about it. | |||
