Joy-Anna Duggar Weight Loss Photo Stirs Controversy – The Hollywood Gossip

Posted: May 1, 2017 at 12:44 pm

Until recently, Joy-Anna Duggar was not one of the most high-profile members of her famous family, for no rhyme or reason.

In a clan the size of the Duggars, there are bound to be certain siblings who receive more attention from fans and producers.

That's changed in a big way, though.

These days, however, Joy-Anna is engaged toAustin Forsyth and fans are loving the flurry of activity leading up to her wedding.

Buta new photo of the 19-year-old has sparked concerns about how well Joy-Anna is handling the pressure of living in the limelight.

The image of Joy-Anna with her younger sister Josie shows that the bride-to-be - who will marry Forsyth in October - has lost a considerable amount of weight in recent weeks.

Is that cause for alarm?

Many card-carrying members of DuggarNation have congratulated Joy-Anna and commented favorably on her new appearance.

Others, however, have expressed concern - and reached their own conclusions - about how quickly she seems to be shedding the pounds.

The above photo of Joy-Anna and Josie was posted on the Duggarsofficial Facebook page over the weekend, and the comments section was a testimonyto the strangely mixed reaction from fans.

"Wow. So beautiful!!! wrote one awe-struck follower.

I couldnt believe that was Joy!! She lost weight!!"

I didnt even recognize Joy until I noticed Josie, another commented, gushing over the picture of the siblings and adding:

Joy must have lost weight she looks so great.

Would-be brides slimming down before their wedding day is hardly a foreign concept, but some fans believe that Joy-Anna is slimming down much too rapidly.

She looks good but she is not a naturally thin person," one critic said. "Shes probably starving herself. She wont keep the weight off."

"She will gain again after the wedding, wrote the fan.

Others among theDuggar faithful hypothesized as to exactlywhy Joy-Anna and her sisters all maintain such svelte figures.

Could it be due to their strict religious beliefs?

Why it is important that the Duggar girls become underweight? It is not fair for the young ladies in the Gothard IBLP to be under so much pressure to be thin," wrote one concerned observer.

Yes, many believe that as with every other aspect of their lives, it's the Duggars' religious beliefs that guide their diet and exercise routines.

Indeed, the teaching materials for the controversial Institute of Basic Life Principles, which forms the religious basis for much of the Duggars' belief system, have much to say on the topics of diet and nutrition.

God is concerned about overeating and being over-weight, one passage reads.

Weight control requires consistent conformity to Gods principles of living.

In a 2014 interview with People magazine, family matriarch Michelle Duggarrevealed that she had battled bulimia as a child.

She credited her husband Jim Bob and the IBLP with helping her overcome her eating disorder and body image issues.

In the recent memoir Growing Up Duggar, the ladies of the Duggar clan shared their own weight loss struggles with fans:

When we were younger, most of us could eat about anything we wanted to and not gain weight," the text reads.

"But those times have changed. Weve found that most of us older Duggars have a tendency to gain weight."

Whatever they're doing, it appears to be effective.

That doesn't mean, of course, that their chosen method of shedding pounds is necessarily healthy. What do you think?

Is this something to worry about? Or are the fans once again picking apart photos a little too obsessively here?

Weight-loss options exist for the wheelchair-bound – Auburn Citizen

Posted: May 1, 2017 at 12:44 pm

DEAR DOCTOR: Can you give me some ideas on how to lose weight while using a wheelchair? I'm 66 and need a wheelchair to get around. When the distance is short enough, I use crutches. I'm on a tight budget, but try to work out as much as I can, with very little results. I'm getting depressed because nothing seems to work.

DEAR READER: One look at the multibillion-dollar weight-loss industry, and it's clear that staying fit is difficult for many of us. And while limited mobility certainly adds to the challenge, with creativity and determination, you can win this battle.

When you use a wheelchair, it's particularly important to get fit and to maintain a healthy weight. Even a few excess pounds can make it more difficult to get into and out of a wheelchair. In that same vein, you need your shoulders, arms and abs to remain strong so you can easily move into and out of the chair, and to prevent injury as you do so.

Let's start with what you eat. Focus on a diet made up of a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, dairy products, healthy fats, legumes, whole grains and leafy greens. Limit added sugars, and cut out empty calories like sodas and processed snack foods. The key here is to adjust your diet to your level of physical activity.

One tool that really works (and takes a bit of courage to do honestly) is keeping a food diary. Even if just for one week, write down everything that passes your lips. The details will jolt you into awareness and, quite possibly, motivate you to make some changes.

As for exercise, the days of the sedentary wheelchair-user are over. There are several exercises you can do from your chair.

With a pair of hand weights, you can keep your biceps, triceps, pectorals and even your abs strong and toned. Resistance bands are another way to maintain strength and range of motion.

An exercise ball is an excellent workout tool. Hold it above your head and, as you engage your stomach muscles, slowly rotate from left to right and back again. Lift the ball above your head and slowly lower it, again engaging your abdominals. Hold the ball above your head, once again engaging your abs, and perform slight tilts to the points of the compass.

With all of these, the idea is to start slow and gradually build up repetitions. Stop if you feel any pain. And be sure to drink water and stay hydrated.

Is there a senior citizen center in your area? Many of them have exercise and yoga classes that can be adapted for someone using a wheelchair. Some even have sports teams that will make room for a rolling athlete.

A challenge for all of us as we get older is social isolation. A group activity can help you feel connected, which will raise your spirits and keep you motivated.

Detroit’s Police Department: Weight Loss Story | Reader’s Digest – Reader’s Digest

Posted: May 1, 2017 at 12:44 pm

Via, Detroit Medical CenterForget about the stereotypical image of a doughnut-eating cop; in the Motor City it has become totally outdated, thanks to the 61-Day Challenge, a partnership between the Detroit Medical Center (DMC) and the Detroit Police Department (DPD).

James E. Craig, Chief of Police for the Detroit Police Officer, who believes physically fit officers are better equipped to perform their duties and keep their communities safe, implemented the programwith cadets given health and fitness benchmarks that they must reach and maintainto keep the force held to high standards. In its fifth year, the campaign focuses on fitness, nutrition, health education, and commitment to living a healthier life.

Every year, participants challenge each other to lose weight, lower blood pressure, and increase their overall health. The program provides health screenings and educational sessions that have helped hundreds of police officers drop thousands of pounds. The program doubles as a way to raise awareness to obesity while also giving police officers a chance to better serve and protect their community. (In Michigan alone, an estimated 30.7 percent of adults were classified as obese, and another 34.9 percent were classified as overweight.) Raising awareness to the problem and providing a solution, Detroit Medical Center (DMC) has been teaming up with the Detroit Police Department (DPD) to get law enforcement fit and healthy for the job since 2012.

Over the years, this program has delivered stellar results! says Chief Craig, who notes that, along with officers losing thousands of pounds, theyve also been able to forgo medications for conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. (Dont miss these incredible weight-loss transformations.) Some of the participants were even able to find serious health-related issues thanks to the complimentary screenings provided by DMC.

In addition to physical health, the program also addresses mental health. Officers need to have a clear mind in order to perform at the highest level and physical fitness is a great way to alleviate the stresses that come with the job. This profession produces an extreme amount of stress and if the officers dont use a positive refuge like exercise, it is easy for them to turn to reckless habits as coping mechanisms, says Chief Craig.

The challenge has raised officer morale, too. When officer morale is high, productivity increases. The DMC challenge and the pledge DPD takes not only makes law enforcement more physically capable to protect and serve, but also works to improve their mental state of health, says Chief Craig. As a result, the community is stronger as a whole.

Chief Craig says he borrowed the idea from his good friend, Reginald Eadie, MD, regional COO at Detroit Medical Center and author of the program. His approach to a community focused health and wellness program inspired me to take it back to my department and from there, the partnership was born.

As part of the partnership, DMC physicians to speak to the officers and staff about various health condition and community outreach nurses conduct health screenings at the precincts. at both our headquarters and precincts.

DMC 61 Day Challenge creator, Dr. Eadie, explains, The DMCs 61 Day Challenge was created to serve as a resource for individuals and groups, like the Detroit Police Department, who are looking for guidance in support of their wellness activities. Partnering with the Detroit Police Department fulfills our mission of helping people live happier and healthier lives. Its our honor to support the men and women who protect our communities.

MLB notes: Nationals confirm Eaton has torn ACL – STLtoday.com

Posted: May 1, 2017 at 12:44 pm

Washington Nationals center fielder Adam Eaton tore a ligament in his left knee and his season is likely over, the team confirmed Sunday.

General manager Mike Rizzo said Eaton has a full thickness ACL tear, plus a meniscus tear and a high ankle sprain.

In Fridays 7-5 loss to the visiting New York Mets, the 28-year-old Eaton stepped awkwardly on the bag when he beat out a throw to first in the ninth inning. He fell down and then needed assistance leaving the field, keeping weight off his left leg.

Its probably the worst pain Ive ever felt in my life, Eaton said. When I heard it pop I thought it was my ankle, and it was my ACL, it wasnt my ankle. I looked down to basically see if I saw any bones and make sure that everythings still there.

Eaton, who went on the 10-day disabled list Saturday, was Washingtons biggest offseason acquisition, arriving from the Chicago White Sox in a trade that included the Nationals top two pitching prospects plus a 2016 first-round draft choice.

He was hitting .297 with two homers and 13 RBIs, reaching base safely in 20 of 23 games for the NL East leaders.

Pirates Kuhl injured Pittsburgh Pirates righthander Chad Kuhl left his teams game at Miami in the fifth inning Sunday after he was hit in the leg by Dee Gordons sharp one-hopper.

The ball caromed off the inside of Kuhls right leg near his knee, and he collapsed in pain as Gordon reached on a single. Kuhl was examined by a trainer, rose and threw several warmup pitches but then left the game, walking to the dugout accompanied by manager Clint Hurdle.

Brewers Braun leaves Ryan Braun left the Milwaukee Brewers game against Atlanta because of arm soreness and tightness in his right trapezius, a large muscle that extends from the shoulder into the upper back. Braun was removed after the sixth inning, but said he didnt expect to go on the disabled list.

Rangers claim Kozma The Texas Rangers claimed infielder Pete Kozma off waivers from the New York Yankees and made room for him by sending utility man Jurickson Profar to Triple-A Round Rock.

Kozma was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Friday when shortstop Didi Gregorius was activated from the 10-day disabled list after recovering from a right shoulder strain sustained while playing for the Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic.

The 29-year-old Kozma was one for nine in 11 games with the Yankees. He made three starts at shortstop.

A first-round draft pick by the Cardinals in 2007, Kozma is a career .221 hitter in 286 games. His first five big league seasons were with the Cardinals. Kozma spent 2016 with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the Yankees system.

Davis is ailing Orioles first baseman Chris Davis was removed from the starting lineup about an hour before game time because of a sore right elbow he was 0 for 7 with five strikeouts since he was hit on the elbow Friday by a pitch from New Yorks CC Sabathia. Davis played first base late in the game.

Rangers donating proceeds The Rangers are donating the proceeds from Sundays Texas 2 Split drawing to the relief and recovery efforts after the violent tornadoes and storms in East Texas on Saturday. Four people were killed during the storms near Canton.

The thoughts and prayers of everyone in the Texas Rangers organization are with the families who are mourning the loss of loved ones and with everyone who was affected by these massive storms, said Texas Rangers Foundation chairman Neil Leibman in a release.

The Rangers Foundation conducts the Texas 2 Split Raffle for every home game at Globe Life Park. One fan has the opportunity to win half of the net proceeds raised each game, with the remaining proceeds benefiting the Rangers Foundation and its many community initiatives and programs.

Fasting every other day isn’t as good of a weight loss method as you think – The Verge

Posted: May 1, 2017 at 12:43 pm

Losing weight is hard when it seems like youll spend every day of the rest of your life deprived, poking at oatmeal and steamed broccoli. So, in the past few years, fasting diets have become popular. You eat very little one day, sure, but the next day you can eat all the burritos and burgers you desire. Then, not only do you lose weight more quickly, it makes it psychologically easy to hold on in the long run.

This makes intuitive sense. But a new study published today in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine suggests this might not be the case for a specific type of fasting diet called alternate-day fasting. The researchers randomly assigned 100 obese participants to either fast every other day, go on a more traditional diet, or do nothing at all. After a year, the people in the fasting group didnt lose more weight, or have more health benefits, compared to the normal weight-loss group and more people dropped out of the fasting group.

People in the fasting group ended up both over and undereating

That doesnt mean that alternate-day fasting doesnt work, says study co-author Krista Varady, a professor of nutrition at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It just means that its not necessarily much more effective than normal dieting. Varady has led the research on alternate-day fasting, and has even written a book promoting it. (This information is included in the papers conflict of interest disclosure.) Her previous studies suggested that this regimen helped people lose weight more quickly, was easier to stick to (once you got over the first two weeks, which are challenging), and had good effects for other health indicators like cholesterol. But those studies only followed the participants for two or three months. Todays study is the first long-term and randomized study weve had on alternate-day fasting, following participants for an entire year. Some people might be disappointed if youre pro-intermittent fasting, but its just exciting to have this type of high-quality data out there, says Grant Tinsley, a Texas Tech University professor who has studied intermittent fasting and was not involved in the study.

For todays study, the people in the alternate-day fasting group were told to eat about 25 percent of their normal daily calories on their fast days and 125 percent on their feast days. The people in the normal dieting group just cut about 25 percent of their calories every day. Nobody was allowed to join a gym. At the end of the year, both groups had lost about 6 percent of their body weight, and there werent a lot of differences when it came to things like cholesterol, insulin resistance, and blood pressure.

When it comes to the lack of other health benefits, Tinsley says this may be because alternate-day fasting is not exactly a true fasting diet. Individuals usually take their one meal in the middle of the day, so that breaks up the fasting period in half, whereas some other programs have the goal of prolonging that fasting period because of the various metabolic changes, he says. In some ways, its really just a very low-calorie intake one day, so its possible that could play a role.

Its important to note that about 30 people dropped out of the study, which always skews the data, especially when there are only 100 people to begin with. Plus, more people dropped out of the alternate-day fasting group, and the people who remained had trouble sticking to instructions. I was pretty shocked to find out that people had a harder time sticking to alternate-day fasting than they did daily calorie restriction, says Varady. They were eating more calories than prescribed on the fast day and also eating less calories than prescribed on the feast days than what we thought, whereas daily calorie restriction was pretty good at sticking to their calorie goals.

This means that, in the end, the fasting and normal dieting groups ended up eating much more similar amounts of food. It also suggests that sticking to the diet is challenging in the long run. Jason Fung, a doctor who runs an intermittent fasting clinic and was not involved in the study, says that trying to restrict to 500 calories might be harder than not eating at all. People have to understand that if you start eating, youre going to want to continue eating, he says. Its like when you have to go to the bathroom when you start peeing you gotta pee out the whole thing and it takes a lot of willpower to stop. In his clinic, he frequently counsels people to fast for an entire day or more and just plan their schedule around that, instead of rummaging in the cupboards and trying to control themselves. He also works to create more individualized plans, though he acknowledges that there are high dropout rates there, too.

Fasting research has only picked up in the past couple of decades, so we still dont know a lot about why some people might find it easier than others. Ultimately, says Fung, the data suggests that both calorie restriction and fasting are viable options for weight loss.

Ive done alternate-day fasting for years, on and off, along with regular dieting. I always liked the idea of fasting more, especially since Im not a snacker and have always had erratic eating patterns anyway. I liked not feeling deprived all the time, and knowing I could have a proper meal in 12 hours helped with the fast days. But over time, it became too hard to stick to.

For now, Fung says, fastings effectiveness might depend on preference. I dont think that theres one approach that really works for everybody and you really have to find what people like, some people like chocolate and some people like vanilla, you cant say one is wrong and ones right, he adds. Its a personal thing, but in a randomized trial like this, youre taking people and saying you are getting chocolate, do you like it? and might be shoehorning them into a dietary method which doesnt work.

Fung has a point: it really is incredibly easy to go over the fast day allotment, which for someone of my size is 500 calories basically two Clif bars. But I also run and just cant go entire days without eating. The schedule was hard on my social schedule, since people unfortunately dont invite you out to dinner on neatly alternating days.

Alternate-day fasting isnt the only type of fasting diet, Tinsley, the Texas Tech professor, points out. Theres the 5:2 diet, where you fast for only two days a week, or various types of intermittent fasting where you only eat within a certain time interval. Theres even a fasting-mimicking diet where you fast for five days a month thats been shown to have good results, though that version of fasting hasnt been used enough to have a lot to compare it to. Varady adds that todays results shouldnt be generalized too broadly. Next, her team is doing research on the effects of alternate-day fasting on diabetics.

In the end, the diet made me too irritable on my fast days and even the promise of a large meal in the future didnt make me less prone to yelling at everyone. I still go back to ADF every so often, but Ive become more realistic about what I can handle.

Diet Doc’s Cutting-Edge Medical Solutions Promote Long-term Weight Loss Beyond the 3-Day Military Diet – Marketwired (press release)

Posted: May 1, 2017 at 12:43 pm

BLUEFIELD, WV--(Marketwired - May 01, 2017) - Millions of Americans diet each year and seek reliable solutions to lose weight fast. In fact, American consumers spend around $33 billion annually on weight loss products alone. As a result, there is no shortage of fad diets and weight loss supplements promising easy fixes. However, an effective diet involves regular exercise coupled with a balanced diet. Dieters are advised to consult a doctor and create a customized nutritional plan to successfully maintain long-term weight loss.

However, sometimes dieters are truly searching for the best ways to lose weight fast. The Military Diet, or the 3 day diet, is one of the most popular ways to lose up to 10 pounds within a week. The Military diet plan basically involves dieting for three days while taking four days off each week. Dieters can choose to follow a 1500-calorie menu plan during their off days if they choose to continue losing weight; this is, however, purely optional.

Proponents of the Military Diet regard it as a "comprehensive" solution offering quick and effective weight loss over slow and steady dieting. Critics, on the other hand, point out its short-term focus and the tendency of most dieters to regain all the weight lost during their off days or after the diet has concluded. So while the Military Diet may be useful for short-term and emergency weight loss needs, maintaining long-term weight loss is more challenging. To maintain weight loss in the long run, dieters need to avoid gradual weight gain and follow a regular diet and exercise regimen. But in any case, the Military Diet has been recognized as a great way for busy individuals to lose a few pounds, especially during emergency situations like fitting into a wedding dress or losing a few pounds before bikini season.

At Diet Doc, a nationally recognized weight loss center, all dieters are encouraged to seek doctor supervision to ensure consistent and healthy weight loss. With a safe, doctor-supervised diet plan and guidance for life, Diet Doc patients gain the following benefits within the very first month:

Diet Doc programs offer a doctor-supervised diet plan and guidance for life.

Plainfield woman turns to Instagram for weight loss tips – WTHR

Posted: April 30, 2017 at 3:41 am

PLAINFIELD (WTHR) - A Plainfield wife and mother of two has lost nearly 165 pounds and more than 93,000 people are following her transformation on Instagram.

LeAnne Manuel used to weigh 400 pounds.

"One of the triggers that started my journey is I graduated from Ivy Tech in December of 2014. I bought my graduation gown and it came to my house and I couldn't wear it" Manuel said.

She went to school as an adult and walking in the ceremony with her classmates was a milestone moment she didn't want to miss. She ordered a custom-made gown and went to graduation vowing, "NEVER again!"

"It was really one of those moments that really put everything into motion that...I had to change because, I didn't want to face that again," Manuel said.

To get started, Manuel started searching Instagram for weight loss tips.

"I started looking for hashtags for low carbohydrate recipes to get meal ideas for our family. I started seeing different accounts and how they were doing and holding themselves accountable with posting their meals and workouts and with their transformation and I said, 'I am going to do this'," Manuel said.

At the time she had 33 followers. She changed the name of her account to "LeAnneIsLosingIt" and started posting meal plans, workouts and pictures of herself. The more weight she lost, the more dramatic the photos and more people started to follow her. Right now, "LeAnneIsLosingit" has double the Instagram following of singer Josh Kaufman and thousands more than Olympic Champion diver David Boudia.

"I posted before and after pictures, even in the very beginning when I lost just 30 pounds or even less than that to compare the differences. Slowly, people started to follow me. I was following them too and getting inspiration and getting all their hashtags and seeing what they have to say. It's been a great opportunity to meet people all over the country that are fighting for the same things," Manuel said. "I'm six feet tall. In my everyday life, I don't meet people like me that have 100, 150-plus pounds to lose. Online, I found people that understand what it's like to be over 300 pounds since you were 11 or 12 years old."

Her formula is simple. Manuel plans, a week in advance, protein-rich, portion-controlled meals and when she will workout.

"We spend an average of $110 a week for groceries for a family of four. We pay $10 a month to the gym. I can go there every day of the week to get what I need to get done," Manuel said.

Manuel says she feels dramatically better physically, mentally and emotionally and that is what she wants for her followers.

"It's not expensive to lose weight, you just have to try. It's expensive to eat out every day. It's expensive to pay the medical bills from health problems that you get from being overweight. Before I lost weight, I took medicine for high blood sugar and high blood pressure and now I don't have that expense. I don't have to go to the doctor every three months for blood work. Now, I go once a year," Manuel said.

Mom as a model

Manuel realized when she modified her diet and increased her exercise, her family did, too. The family got off the couch and started heading to the gym at night and hiking together on weekends. Her wife Michelle has lost 105 pounds, daughter Hannah joined the cross country team and uses a fitness tracker to compete with her parents. Hunter, 6, is on the baseball team and says he no longer feels "chubby."

"I didn't want my kids to have to go through what I did. I didn't want my kids to feel like an outsider because their weight limited them," Manuel said.

Stopping scams and silencing critics

The family has learned there are setback to becoming a public figure. Manuel says she added a watermark to her images to prohibit weight loss companies from fraudulently using her picture to make false claims she lost all the weight on their program. Fake Instagram accounts emerged, trying to capitalize on her popularity by featuring her misspelled name. Manuel says many companies have called pursuing endorsements.

"I don't even answer emails for a lot of companies because I look at their stuff and see this brand only goes up to a size large. I know that that isolates people, just like it used to isolate me," Manuel said.

A consequence of her weight loss was excessive skin. Manuel had the skin removed from her abdomen through surgery at Hendricks Regional Health. She posted those pictures, too, and ignores critical comments.

"A common one will be, 'You are just still fat, so I don't even know why you are trying.' That is a common thing people will say," Manuel said.

After two years, Manuel is 35 pounds from her goal weight and knows a global following will keep her accountable.

"I want people to know that anybody can do this and if they want to change their life, it really will change every aspect of your life," Manuel said.

On May 6, Manuel plans to skip the graduation ceremony when she earns bachelors in Business Administration from Ball State. Instead, look for her wearing a graduation gown in WTHR's live coverage of the 2017 OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini Marathon. She's competing in the race and serving as one of 13 ambassadors.

This time, her large-sized gown is a perfect fit.

Kerry Katona shows off her three-stone weight loss as she kisses husband George Kay and gives him a raunchy lap … – The Sun

Atomic Kitten star writhed around on George's lap before giving him a passionate smooch

KERRY Katona showed off her three-stone weight loss as she kissed husband George Kay and gavehim a raunchy lap dance during a night out in Kent.

The Atomic Kitten star put on a passionate display as she writhed around on her mans lap before climbing into his arms for a passionate snog.

Fame Flynet

Kerry, 36, looked more loved up than ever as she locked lips with George during a night on the town inat MooMoo club in Tunbridge Wells.

Thecouple, who appear to have put their previous marital troubles behind them, couldnt keep their hands off each other.

In a skintight orange dress, which put her sensational new figure on display, Kerry turned heads in the club.

Fame Flynet

She has lost three stone in recent months, and she seemed keen to put the results of her hard work on display.

The eye-catching dress featured slashes up the side which went all the way up to her underarms, and showed off Kerrys white bra.

Fame Flynet

Fame Flynet

Kerry recently underwent non-surgical liposuction just weeks after going under the knife.

The 36-year-oldhad four and half litres of fat removed from her body last month and went from a dress size 14 to an 8.

Kerry recently opened up about her incredible weight loss and how she achieved the results.

Fame Flynet

Fame Flynet

The mum-of-four toldReveal Magazine: The doctors pulled four-and-a-half litres of fat out.

I was a dress size 14 and I'm an 8 now. I've lost three stone, from 12-and-a-half stone to nine-and-a-half stone.

While the surgery helped Kerry get the initial weight off, she added she had lost loads since then after exercising non-stop.

She explained: "Because I'm bipolar, exercise is the best thing to do.

Fame Flynet

I do exercise every day - about an hour of yoga every morning - that's my time to relax, balance and connect with myself.

I also do cardio in the gym, probably about two hours a week. I've also cut out carbs and alcohol.

Kerry is obviously proud of her achievements andwhile the mother-of-five is keen to expand her brood with husband George Kay, she doesn't want to give up her new body just yet.

She said: George is desperate for one. I'll have one more, but not yet - not after all this hard work.

The couple - who have two-year-old daughter Dylan-Jorge together - briefly split in 2015 before reuniting last year.

Doctor Resigns From Eman Ahmed’s Care Over Sister’s Denial Of Any Recovery – Normangee Star

A photograph of Eman on Monday, released by Saifee Hospital. He added that detailed medical reports have been submitted to the Egyptian Consul General as well. Her body parts were then running at five per cent efficiency, which has now increased up to 60 percent, he said. She does not need a cargo carrier anymore.

She also said doctors had promised proper toilet facilities but it was a lie. It is now Gods will.

The procedure was pending for long as the scan machine can take the maximum weight up to 204 kg. The doctors revealed that Emans brain had been affected by the treatment. Eman was shifted out of a special room 10 days ago. Brain damage is reversible, but needs neurological rehabilitation therapy. She is around 34 years old, which could be of some help to her, the surgeon had said.

She underwent surgery on March 7. Her face and hands are bluish, says Shimaa, describing her sister as helpless and neglected. We are not specialists in treating other diseases, he said.

Dr Lakdawala and Saifee Hospital have denied Selims allegations in statements to Asian News International (ANI), saying that Eman is doing well and that her sister was creating a scene because she did not want to take her sister back to Egypt due to financial reasons. Being a mother, I cant see her in that condition. She has suffered at least eight bouts of epileptic seizures since the surgery. He explained to Mid-Day that Shaimaa does not have funds to continue Emans treatment in Egypt, and that was why she was trying to blame the Mumbai hospital and the doctor. Saifee Hospitals COO, Huzeifa Shehabi, said, The plan is to send her back after two weeks. What if my sister dies due to complications in flight? Her weight has gone down miraculously, faster than expected. She cant remain in hospital forever, he said. But after we saw the videos (of Thanaa and Shaimaa), some doctors think Egypt was more competent to handle the case, he said. Before being brought to Mumbai, the woman was confined to her bed and had not moved out of her house for the last 25 years. Shaimaa claimed that even the obesity treatment had not been fully addressed. Her family, however, has alleged the doctors, led by renowned bariatric surgeon Dr Mufazzal Lakdawala, have lost interest in her recovery as the hype around the treatment has abated. The weight loss has also dramatically improved her health. We didnt just provide medical care, we fell in love with Eman.

Joining the debate, the bariatric surgery section chief Aparna Govil-Bhasker termed Shaimaas allegations as the worst kind of assault that a patients family can do to a doctor. Once word got out past year that Emans family had chosen Mumbai, Egypt had put together a crack team of doctors. Pray for Eman to leave this place safely and also to cure her, she said in the video. If a patients treatment is over, we cant unnecessarily keep her in hospital, said Huzaifa Sahebi, the COO of Saifee Hospital which treated her free of cost. Two nurses and two helpers are always by her side. She has recovered well and only a CT scan is to be done to ascertain her neurological condition. I didnt want to tell her anything as she stays alone and suffers from high blood pressure. There is a language and culture barrier while communicating with Emans family.
