Right, an end of month update - apart from a few bad days, i have loved this diet and it appears to love me. I have even found the bad days seem to kickstart my weightloss again for some reason too when it stalls for a day or two:?: Anyway, I began at a rather beefy 21st 8lbs, and my first target was to get into the teens by the end of the month, with my long term goal being 16st, which is imo my ideal, as BMI is a very poor indicator for me, as I am a large frame anyway, even without the fat! :lol: I initially chose to do this until the end of Feb, with the hope that I may lose anything, and I have been telling everyone how much I am loving it.
So to today's end of month progress. I am now completely off gliclazide, with steady BGs of approx 5.1-5.4, BP, according to my wrist one is approx 105/60, down from 130/85, and my weight is now down to 19st 7lb, so over 2st lost since 18th Jan! The guys in work cant believe how much I have lost and how well I seem to be doing with the diet. We even got some new clothing from work we ordered before xmas, and it doesnt fit (XXXL fleece, and I can fit into an XL)
That's probably it for my updates until mid March, as I do not intend to weigh myself again until then as I have noticed I am becoming a little obsessive about checking my weight, which is never good...but by carrying on with what I am doing, I expect to be in the 18's (allowing for a slow down in my weightloss) by the end of March, maybe even into the 17's :shock: :shock:
