Weekly weigh in - Fridays

[ickihun]

Added weight but not surprised. I had to stop metformin and orilstat. So now constipated from tramadol.
Only positive thing is I'm back on metformin today so next week should be promising. Fingers crossed.

Well done everyone! Me, I'm 95.9kg down from 97kg this week, another 1.1kg gone
I've reached my first personal target of three stone weight loss since diagnosis in May! I can't believe I've lost 3 stone in 3 months. I haven't been this light since before my son was born, he's 21! Super proud of myself!
However it's my birthday today so I have a couple of low carb but not low calorie treats lined up, so I hope I don't put too much back on

Happy Birthday!

And brilliant weight loss

Urgh - I broke my elbow a couple of years ago and the effect of painkillers was just dreadful - here's hoping that being back on the met helps you this week

4lbs lost for me! That's a total of 7lbs over 2 weeks (only 40 more lbs to go but we're not focusing on that right now )

Happy birthday @Rachox . Well done everyone. I have gained 73.4 but this has been a horrible week on step 1 of pain management and I can assure you paracetamol was useless. I got some first stage codeine this morning and already feeling so much better. Not good enough for going up and downstairs more than once a day but much less arghhhhh. I am on those for a week and report back to GP on Friday.
Spent my time reading a very interesting report on food and dieting which included the following paragraph:- The real question is how to fight this kind of diet absolutism without bouncing back to a mindless celebration of the modern food environment that is demonstrably making so many people sick. In 2016, more than 600 children in the UK were registered as living with type 2 diabetes; before 2002, there were no reported cases of children suffering from the condition, whose causes are diet-related." Now that is something to ponder on. It is a long read but interesting to know stuff like avocados outsell oranges - ok I am a saddo https://www.theguardian.com/lifeand...g&utm_term=238861&subid=10401739&CMP=ema-2793
I have to read drug side effects and the stuff the GP gave me this afternoon. Sighh

 

[Goonergal]

Wow, a lot of loss going on this week. Well done all.

 

[Prem51]

Gained 1 lb, up to 152.2 lbs today. Oh well.

I've had a lovely day. Thank you all for your birthday wishes I received some thoughtful gifts, since boxes of chocolates and cakes are off the menu now! Also some money to invest in some new (smaller clothes). I've had a few lower carb treats. Crackling crisps with a salad for lunch, a meringue nest with strawberries and cream after wards, a low carb chocolate and peanut square this afternoon and a piece of low carb mini coffee and vanilla cake after dinner this evening. I was prepared to accept higher blood glucose readings today but they have been just normal ranging from 5.6 - 6.3mmols/l

I'm weighing myself in the morning for FLO so fingers crossed I've lost the added weight from constipation, which has now gone.
If not my aim is for it to be by friday!

 

[ickihun]

I've weighed in as 124.80kgs with water retention tummy. So if I reweigh after flurosemide I'd be less but I'm keeping 124.80kg as weight today to keep things consistant.
Hoping by friday I'll be my last weight or less at 123.40. Fingers crossed tight.

 

[ickihun]

I was weighed at hospital educational course for bariatric surgery and I was exactly 124.00kgs.
Roll on friday's weigh-in.

Hope everyone is having success?

 

[Goonergal]

Morning everyone. Lost 0.7kg (1.5 lbs) this week. Exactly 26kg loss in total now.

 

[Prem51]

150.2 lbs today, 2 lbs down from last Friday. Fasting seems to be kicking in now!

Wow. This morning I'm 123.20kgs.
Lost 1.6kgs in 3 days. I'm delighted.

Most likely due to resting after such a traumatic tuesday with 4 appointments then swelling.
Rest makes all the difference for me.

 

[TazziT]

109.5Kg down 1.2Kg from last friday, first goal post reached. Next goal is below 100Kg.

0 lost for me today Still, it's only week 3 of LCHF and this week has been more "carby" than I would have liked (TOTM and all that). Back to the drawing board next week.
