This is my story
Started putting on weight as a teenager, stayed at about 14-16 because I did a lot of sport.
Went up to about size 18 when I left school and went into office work; no exercise.
Had serious car accident at age 18, dislocated hip which resulted in total hip replacement aged 21. Weight has just crept up and up since then as I am not very mobile at all. Slipped my disc in 1987 which has further restricted my mobility as I now live with chronic back ache. Hovered around size 22 to 26 for years.
Managed to go from 14 stone 9lbs to 10 stone 4lbs in 1984. It gradually crept back up. Have only managed to lose the odd stone here and there since then. Been size 24 - 28 for several years.
Gave up smoking in March 2005. I was around 17 stone then, have since gone up to 20 stone 4 lbs. Oh my god. Sixze 30 - 34, can't believe it.
Went on holiday to Greece in June this year and decided that it would be my last ever "fat" holiday; it was awful.
Have been on Reductil from GP for 5 weeks now and have lost 16 lbs so am doing well, but I still feel I need constant inspiration and motivation.
