[QUOTE="Cricket Lover, post: 415243, member: 76618"] Hi Murph, I was 12st 9 when I started weighed 10st 10 this morning but was 13st 9 this time last year, lost a stone before Christmas & being diagnosed. The weight loss has slowed in the last 10 days I was loosing about 4 1/2 lbs a week but now seems to have slowed to about 2lb a week, I was hoping to get to 10st 7 but ideally 10st 4, but I am currently trying to work a bit on building up muscle in the gym as it will help to burn calories when I come off the diet. Also really want to get my fitness back to a really good level, although a little difficult due to a bad knee which prevents me running or playing sports now, so restricted to non impact exercises. I test my bg most mornings when I get up & is now regularly around 4.2 it used to be regularly over 8 first thing in the morning, during the day I vary the times pre meals, 2 hours after or sometimes prior to going to bed the highest reading I have had is 5.7. I have my own blood pressure monitor I bought one for my mother who is on dialysis & has regular blood pressure probs, liked it & decided to get one for myself, blood pressure has improved as mentioned also resting heart rate is now down to around 60, so weight loss & increased exercise seem to be working on more than one front, I have exercised regularly in the past & played a lot of sport, it has only been in the last 3 to 4 years that I had slowed down due to a stream of injuries..... it is good to be getting back into it, jst frustrating I can't use my improved fitness in sports due to my knee injury. I know finding time to exercise can be hard, I have the same problem regularly working a 50 to 60 hour week running a business but it does seem to make a huge difference to how you feel & I'm sure your bg levels, even before this diet my bg was better in weeks when I found time to exercise. Sorry if I went on a bit, but I am getting really into this now, motivation is the key! Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
