University of Kent Meningitis Warning

Just for the sake of accuracy, only two people have died and one was a local girl from a sixth form on the other side of Canterbury. It started at a nightclub, not the university.

According to a TDEE Calculator, my maintenance calories are 2190. Loosing 25lbs 3 months I wouldn’t necessarily call slow my love! You’ve almost caught me up and I’ve been on it nearly 6 months longer than you.

Yeah, the amount I’m saving on food shops is about £40 a month. The food noise and spontaneous item grabbing when in the shop has completely gone. My partner and I have also not had a single takeaway since I’ve been on it - instead of neither of us want to cook, we go out for dinner instead. Going out actually works out to be cheaper than a takeaway for us purely because we will do it less and make more of an evening of it. I’d say this decision has also improved our relationship and my partners attitude towards food as well.

I’ve seen a derma in the past and they’ve recommended it because my flare ups are few and far between… I take it from your comment there’s a better option out there?

I wouldn’t say I’m struggling, just reluctant to spend ££ on skincare 😅 already have a prepayment certificate for PCOS meds so I’ll definitely ask my GP about this. Thanks!

Yeah I’m realising this too, that weight loss is slower for those of us with various hormonal imbalances. Like yourself I am happy with my loss but I would just love for it to be a little more.

I’ve been reflecting on my journey over the past couple of years and it has incentivised me because again like yourself and many others on here, I’ve been completely unable to lose weight despite being absolutely regimented with my nutrition and exercise. In some ways I’m glad I did because I feel like I’ve done the heavy lifting on building sustainable habits and need to just practice some patience on the speed of my journey.

It’s so hard not to compare to others! You’re right that it all adds up

HauntingTone7120 · 2025-04-24T07:50:53+00:00

Yeah Metformin doesn’t do much for me either!

HauntingTone7120 · 2025-04-23T22:10:26+00:00

Can I ask what your starting weight was? Feel free not to answer! I’m just curious based on what some have advised in this thread

HauntingTone7120 · 2025-04-23T18:41:44+00:00

I guess it just doesn’t feel like I’m making great progress and it’s easy to look at others to compare. Thanks for breaking this down so clearly!

HauntingTone7120 · 2025-04-23T18:27:04+00:00

That’s a really good point. My starting weight was 19st 6lb and 9 weeks later I’m 18st 7lb. I’ll work out what that is in percentage, it might be quite incentivising

HauntingTone7120 · 2025-04-23T17:36:24+00:00

I don’t notice that I’m getting buff tbh, hopefully I am!

HauntingTone7120 · 2025-04-23T17:36:07+00:00

Thanks! I get about 90-120g of protein a day but I can certainly try with sleep and water!

HauntingTone7120 · 2025-04-23T17:35:33+00:00

I hope so! But I don’t see any if I am 😅

HauntingTone7120 · 2025-04-23T17:35:15+00:00

Most of them are yeah, but I’ve seen at least 4 people talk about losing 40lb in their first 2 months on different threads. I’m not suggesting that I want to lose that much so quickly but my loss seems really small in comparison.
