I have finally worked up the courage to go and see the GP about my weight. I'm 35 and have been steadily putting on weight for a few years now. The last 12 months I've also started to get body acne (haven't had it for about 10 years), moody, skin tags, oily skin and hair etc. I have made a list for my GP appointment so i don't forget anything but I'm really hoping they will be able to help me.
My weight really gets me down... I walk around an hour per day and eat relatively healthy. I have an 11 year old son and I'm a single mum with not much family support.
Has anyone else had similar symptoms and what were the steps your GP took? Thanks 😊

I eventually found one that is brilliant. She went over everything. Blood test (I’ve had about 4 now, because she keeps checking in on how things are tracking over time). She’s used those results for things like iron, vit d, cholesterol etc and she’s got me up to date on all my other checkups too. She has given me referals for an exercise physiologist and dietitician - who I would really recommend, I found those appointments really useful. I’m now 16 months into seeing her and I’m 12 kg down and maintaining it so far, and that is after years of not being able to shift it.
Yes I was put on duromine had to come off coz it affected my bp. I was then put on ozempic and feel great on it. I came off it for a while so that diabetics and people who really need it can have ages to but Dr has just put me back on it. Lost 2 kgs the past week. It’s starting to come back into stock now and available for weight loss but maybe another 3-4 weeks. I am lucky to live in an area where it isn’t in demand so I can get it when I need it, if I want to. These were my Drs suggestions by the way as it was affecting my health.l before anyone comes at me. Speak to your dr, sounds hormone related.
Celery juice and the medical medium was my miracle.
I lost 25kgs over 18 months and have easily kept it off for 4 years.
I gained weight slowly
Was always tired
And had no energy.
The celery juice has changed my life
