[QUOTE="AtkinsMo, post: 1808797, member: 104933"] I think you can afford to be very smug! Well done you! That is an amazing weight loss and well done with your HbA1c. When you have a lot of weight to lose (and you certainly did, a year ago) you have to be patient after the first phase! It will slowly continue to melt away, I lose about 3kg a year now (I am at 27kg lost, maybe 7kg to go) but my target is towards the top end of normal BMI, which I think is the ‘healthiest’ place to be. I’ll never be skinny, I don’t want to be skinny, but I am now shapely, infinitely more toned, and infinitely more full of energy. And sometimes when I get a bit fed up at the fluctuating couple of kilos that seem to come and go in a pretty random fashion, because I keep all my ‘statistics’ on spreadsheets I can see the continuous downward trend! It doesn’t look spectacular, 3kg a year, but whenever I see somebody I haven’t seen for 6 months, they always react as if I’ve lost a stone, funny really! So, just keep doing what you’re doing, this is a marathon not a sprint and it is to do with your health, not random figures, and you are doing just great, in fact brilliant! [/QUOTE]
