I haven’t lost anything this week, not sure why not
So I’ll share some other good news instead; after volunteering at Cancer Research UK’s call centre since I retired from nursing in 2016, this week I was offered a paid position, I start next week!
Started 115kg 9th May’17
Today 82.2kg 9th March’18
Total lost = 32.8kg/5stone 2lb
I have 2 or 3 teaspoons with my breakfast and the same again with strawberries at dinner time. I am going to switch to a scoop of oppo ice cream at dinner time this coming week and try to cut down on nuts too. I just have a small amount of milk in my breakfast coffee then have it black the rest of the day. Hubby has said he’ll walk with me if he’s home at the right time. Just got to hope he doesn’t walk too fast, he’s a personal trainer
Well done you on such an amazing drop in a few months you’re doing well - good feeling getting stuff into bags but the wardrobe can look a bit forlorn whilst you’re on your way down! Good to keep logging your loss here - it can help knowing you’ve got a weekly check in. I’m maintaining now but weekly logging in is helping me to remember it can go up as well as down!
Slow loss is the most sustainable - whilst I have enjoyed some rapid loss recently, I don't expect the big changes to continue - keeping weight off is so hard and whilst the lbs might not be rapidly falling, neither are they creeping up. Be proud of your achievements, you're doing great!
Yes frustrating but better than moving in the wrong direction. My loss is also slow, but is has speeded up since I started using an app to track what I eat. I'm still doing lchf but I'm checking that the fat and protein don't push up my calories over 1600. I'm losing 2 or 3 pounds a week at the moment.
I meant to add keep going, it will be worth it. Don't forget to stop when you reach a healthy weight
Different weight loss methods work for different people carty: I lost 5 stone with weight watchers several years ago (before piling it all back on again after becoming a helper & getting sloppy about how I portioned things out) - & when I tried again I wasn't in the right head space - I think that's the most important thing really, you have to be focused and be prepared to weather the ups and downs. For me I've found the blood sugar diet a real inspiration - & believe it will not only help me lose weight but also reduce my hba1c results. Also, I've always begrudged the fact that I have to pay for someone to weigh me & the literature etc changes all the time so you have to keep purchasing new books. I know people who've found Weight Watchers & Slimming World great, but I prefer Michael Mosley's blood sugar diet. I wish you good luck & whatever you decide you'll have support here
Well done!Weight at diagnosis on 5.4.17 - 115.3 kg BMI 39.8
Lowest weight - 64.0kg BMI 22.1
Weight today 64.7 kg BMI 22.3
Total weight lost as of today 50.6kg
Not trying to lose any more - have been maintaining below my goal weight of 68kg since November 2017 - but hanging out on this thread as I keep trying to get the balance right
1.2kg down this week - a week of being very careful with no snacking at all has put me back below 65kg - meeting daughter tomorrow and taking my mum out for lunch on Sunday - so can afford a few treats
I'm so sorry you're in so much pain - I truly hope you get some relief soon so you can begin to enjoy family life more fully again, it must be so hard for you.My weight is up and down like my fbgs. No one day the same.
Once my pain goes I'll be able to walk but at this rate I'm going to end up in a wheelchair.
Seeing GP today. It's either pain relief that works or a wheelchair. I have 2 young kids that need me mobile, however way that is. School runs cannot happen at mo.
Wheelchair or lose my kids? No brainer.
I only have months to wait for bariatric surgery if surgeon agrees.
Told will help my back but no cure.
Or is it bulging discs or gallbladder/liver area pain. Scan on Monday after been escalated to urgent.
I just feel whatever is going on and giving me infections (internally) can be resolved with all my pain too.
Still looking like gallbladder... maybe.
Hope this week sees some improvement for you I'm very impressed shelley262! You are an inspiration. I can't comment on my feet yet but look forward to finding out as I keep losing!! Enjoy your holiday
