After losing a stone then hitting a brick wall with shingles then christmas my BS is down from 8 to 6.7

The HB thing is 49

I could only speak to a receptionist who hadnt a clue

im 6ft and another stone is the most id lose, but i am of "big build", "BMi" means nothing in my case really

my weight loss slowed when i started using the weights and machines at the gym (abs, legs, etc)
 
if your weight loss slowed because you're building muscle then that's a good thing.
 
i got down to 17st 4lb, then shingles hit or id have been into the 16st bracket.....****

now 17st 8lb
 
Hi Jack,

Your "HB thing" is only just above the starting point for diabetes, which is 48. What was it last time?

Getting your BS down despite shingles and Christmas is excellent. Well done.
 
I've heard shingles are quite horrific. Don't worry about the past, just the future. You'll be back on track in no time. I try to use temporary setbacks as motivation and temporary successes as encouragement.
 
consider my BMi at 34 BS at 6.7 HB at 49

Height 6ft weight 17st 7lb

chest 48" (not much excess me there, thats lower down, but the legs are good.....lol

waist is 40"/42" (im down from XXL to XL in tops/trackies)
