[QUOTE="Goldiespring, post: 939351, member: 204384"] I weighed 132kg on 24th Aug (got weighed by the nurse at an ECG test by my request as I had started trying to do something about my weight the previous week using an app called my fitness pal). I have no scales at home and don't intend to get any as in the past I have been discouraged by numbers! Anyway when GP then diagnosed me on the 27th and gave me Metformin I was already in the mindset. To get into healthy BMI I need to lose 52kgs which is a scarily huge amount but small steps count. I have just re-checked my measurements and since I started my campaign on the 21st of August I have lost 2 inches around my waist - that has to relate to Kgs surely! I have been gradually increasing my exercise by walking so that has helped. Since diagnosis I have tried very hard to reduce my carb intake and am now consistently below 100g a day down from 230g even when dieting (I estimate double this before starting to diet) Increasing my fat and protein intake has meant I am not hungry all the time and I feel like I can do this! I am going to go and weigh myself at Boots one day this week and will report back! I am so inspired by reading some of these stories. Good to journey with others who have the same motivation and are non-judgemental!! [/QUOTE]
