How much weight have YOU lost?

[ErinKeegan]

I've lost 5 kg in 6 months , I don't weigh much and it's a small victory for me

 

[Ronancastled]

I lost 77lbs (35kg) in about 3 months post diagnosis.
Never ever do this btw, you'll kick off all sorts of issues.
Did the job mind.

14.5kg lost in the past year, 6.6 of that in past 8 weeks. Still got a fair way to go (18kg) before I hit my ultimate goal weight but only 3kg until I hit my first target.

 

[Dollylolly]

15kgs in 3 months

slowed down and lost a further 2kgs

so 17kgs in the last year now trying to maintain that weight which is hard.

 

[DaPa]

24.5kg since May 2021

 

[wolfie11969]

Small victory was 67.94kg down to 62kg weighed on 19 Oct by DN!

 

[CatrinJ]

Today I weigh 122.2kg so in 121 days since type 2 diagnosis I have lost 22.2kg in all. Rate of loss has slowed a lot over time, 3.3kg so far in October so might be able to make it 3.5kg by the end of the month.

Hi all, I'm now down 17kg in total too much for me now. Friends and family saying I'm looking v skinny and gaunt. Now it caught in a conundrum how to put on few pound without compromising by BG's.

People told me that, but I ignored them and my look has filled out overtime. Weight hasn't changed but they think it has.

 

[Claudia 1961]

7kg and I am now rather slim. BMI 19.1

 

[Josieee]

32 lbs from May to September this year. Currently 129 lbs and pretty stable here but once good weather comes again going to try to bring that down to low 120s. I probably lost more than that but only measured my weight when I was 161. I probably was in the 170s but stayed oblivious as I did not want to step on the scale to find out

 

[letsgo182]

I’m yo-yoing quite a bit and am only around 3kg down from last year. At my best I was 10kg down. New year, I’ll give it another go

 

[MarkyP2022]

Exactly 2 stone off as of this morning since 1st October

 

[Welshman1952]

Only the first week of the diet but I'm off to a cracking start - a loss of 5lbs. Still a long way to go as I'm now 16st 1lb and could do with losing about 2 more stone - but I've done it before.

That is great start and thanks for reviving this thread! I’m not in UK so had to look up the stone reference. Are you following a particular food plan?

I’ve been trying to just eat sensibly, since March of this year and count calories. I’m now down 55 pounds and still have about 2 more stone to go.

Hi @Prancy well it wouldn't be accurate to say that I am following a rigid plan but I am being ultra careful. I don't calorie count as I want to live as near a normal life as posssibleand most people don't count calories.

I do fingerprick before and after every meal so I'm learning what foods I can and cannot eat. For example, I can eat up to 2 slices of ancient grain bread without much effect but cheap wholemeal will send me through the roof. I can have berries but pineapple is a no-go.

Potatoes are my nemesis so they are no longer on the menu, nor is couscous but I can handle 40g (raw) of bulghur wheat.

While I'm not calorie counting I am portion controlling and, above all, teaching my body the difference between hunger and thirst. Sounds daft but I do find that sometimes a drink actually solves "supposed" hunger pangs.

The biggest thing is to realise that food is not a "treat", a book, or a trip are treats.

7 years ago I kicked my diabetes into remission but let things go. Well, I'm back and a little bruised but fundamentally unharmed and I'm da*mned if this condition is going to beat it - I am going to beat it!!

Brilliant news about your weight loss and really sounds as though you are on the right path.

 

[Prancy]

@Welshman1952 , it sounds as if you have a good strategy and lots of motivation to meet your goals. I sometimes think T2 is more challenging in some ways, because the carb issue. As T1, I can take insulin to cover my carbs ( on pump) , so I can indulge within reason. Still, I do pretty low carb, though I don’t intend to, I try to stay away from sweets and certain things like watermelon, which I love! Spikes me for some reason.

Good luck on meeting your goals. I’ll keep check on this thread. Maybe, others will post here too.
