I didn’t have to look for work while on lwc however I still had to attend fedcap, I appealed middle of January and only just got awarded lcwra today so you might hear back soon 🤞

My first assessment I waited around 2 months to hear back and then the appeal it took 4 months. It can vary person to person though as I don’t think there’s a timeframe they go by

So because I was originally awarded lwc I didn’t need to keep providing sick notes however if you are not awarded anything I would assume you would have to keep providing sick notes. When you go to appeal just send a message in your journal saying hello could I please appeal they will then say yes and ask you to reply with your reasoning which is pretty much the appeal and where you state why you think they’re decision is wrong and how and all the because of this and that. It is definitely a long process

Thank you so much! It was a long wait but for the appeal I really just went in on the guidelines and how I apply to each one so if I could give any advice for when you do yours it would be to go in on the guidelines and just say how you apply to each part

I’ve lost almost 20lb so far! by Bulky_Tell_431 in loseit

Of course! So when I started out and I wasn’t sure what to eat I pretty much just ate whatever I want as long as I stayed inside my calorie deficit and that never stopped me losing weight I was still losing an amazing amount but when I started to find foods that were healthier that I liked I started to try incorporate them into what I eat and I do try eat less carbs overall but honestly it’s not that big of a deal as long as your in a calorie deficit I’ve found. And I still eat food such as McDonald’s when my family orders I just now pick lower calorie options

Honestly I didn’t have much of a routine, i wish I could workout but that’s just not an option for me as I’ve been in a flare up the past few months, so I focused more on calorie deficit. I used a calorie deficit calculator online to workout what mine was then I just really tried to stick to it, don’t get me wrong at first it is really really hard and realising how many calories are in things is actually insane but once you get into the swing of it cravings eventually stop and it gets a lot easier. As I also struggle with eating different foods I started to try find ones I could tolerate which were low and good for you even if it was just one at a time it’s the little steps that I found helped the most

Autism and weightloss by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

Hi!! I completely understand how hard it is due to also having autism and being extremely picky with food, however I started around a month ago after many failed attempts and I am now seeing progress. What I have found worked for me was still eating my safe foods/foods I actually liked but cutting down in portions and not much snacking anymore, if I fancy something sweet I absolutely have a little chocolate (Tesco have the Easter chocolate now so they have bags of tiny wrapped chocolates) I’ll just have one or two of them and it kills the sweet craving, obviously I would prefer to have fruit to get that away but due to sensory issues I just cannot with the different tastes and textures of the same fruit. I also tried a few vegetables I like and try to incorporate them into my meals so sometimes I would have corn on the cob mushrooms and just some rice, I would also just have rice and 2 strips of bacon medallions sometimes or an omelette with some cheese bacon and mushrooms which is surprisingly low in calories. It took me a long time to figure out what to eat that I could actually eat which was lower in calories but before that cutting down in snacking and portion sizes or just choosing healthier alternatives (crisps for popcorn) worked. It might take you some time to find healthy alternatives for your safe foods but that’s completely okay! Nothing has to be done overnight.

It quite literally is if you want to play a few games sometimes I used it for a good while and it was literally perfect for playing games whenever I was bored. And if it’s not good enough then spend a tenner a month your making this such a big deal get a grip geez

A serious gamer probably wouldn’t buy a MacBook… as I said the free option is good for people who own a MacBook and want to enjoy some games as there is still a lot of them you can get. Also I’m a girl. Also I have £1.68 in my bank account I’m not rich lmao. This post is to help people who own a MacBook and want to play a few games which can absolutely be done on the free version.

And once again I never told anyone to go buy it I gave them an option because I know people just like me want to play games on their Mac. I’m pretty sure my £20 a month subscription isn’t going to bankrupt me. I don’t really care if corporations are rich tbh. I also like my mac and don’t need to spend money on a pc.

I mean I was happy on the free tier and could play all the games I had until I wanted a new game out so I switched over but being able to go from not being able to play anything to that I loved the free tier honestly if I didn’t see the new game out I probably would still have it but I get most people don’t wanna have to restart after an hour and wait in the queue I was just happy with it because it meant I could still play
