15 Stone Scottish guy

[BryanMJ]

Hi,

I have been on antipsychotic medication leading to massive weight gain. 5ft 10 inches. 15 stone with a 41 inch waist.
Was and still comforting eating both at home and at work. Bars of chocolate and 6 bags of crisps during a nightshift.

Suffer from Fibromyalgia therefore exercise is tough. So I thought of swimming. I want to get down to 12/13 stone and my waist back to the 32 I was. Feel so unhealthy and rapidly on the way to a heart attack or something!
Thanks

Welcome! You definitely have more obstacles in your way, but you can still reach your goals. Swimming is a great exercise! Perhaps a food diary is a good place to start, regardless of if you actually mark down calories. I find if I have to write it down and be accountable that way I think twice before putting it in my mouth. Good luck!
