Hello am sorry to hear that you hurt your back..........but am also happy that you lost the weight..............loseing weight when your in pain is a challenge. What did you do to lose the weight. Am now doing Iyengar yoga it's very gentle yoga for people who have health issues. The yoga has been a blessing. Also did your pain go away once you lost your weight?

Blessings, Melinda

Last summer I had a slipped disc in my back and one of the things I was supposed to do was loose weight. I did, but it wasn't easy...not being able to exersize means you have to be that much stricter about what you eat, and a lot of pain medications can make you bloated. If you see a dr for your pain maybe you can ask him/her for an opinion???

Everyone's body is different. Hang in there.... I have pain all day everyday. I just daydream about this weight being off and how being lighter will alleviate it. My ankle and and legs and feet hurt. It's killer. It'll hurt worst if you let the pain stop you.

Hi I deal with pain everyday myself I have Rheumatoid arthritis. I have been doing SF since July 31st and I have lost 28 pounds. As far as dealing with the pain I just try to put it in the back of my mind and tell myself that when I get this weight off I will feel much better. I take pain meds daily but I am determined. Most days are really hard since my job requires me to be on my feet all day and that is where my RA flares. Hang in there I know its tough but you can do it.

Is anyone else dealing with pain and not losing weight. How do you lose weight when your in pain all the time. Am sticking to my SF routine BUT am not losing, OK I take that back one pound in one month.
