Had a horrible blip after the first week. Initial weight 15 stone 3lbs. I'd had a 1lb weight loss first week, no change the following week and weighed myself the day after weigh in day. . 6lb weight increase! How does that happen!? Hate hormones. Now done to 15 stone but don't feel too motivated.
Ooh! Thyroid issues too! Life just isn't fair! Take care and good luck!Haven't weighed myself since friday so not sure how my friday weigh-in will go.
People noticing my 3.5stone loss since xmas now. I've bought some new clothes to encourage my weight loss in the right direction.
Praying it doesn't just stop and I start adding again. I don't trust my body.
Just as easy as it is to lose it can gain.
Fingers crossed, very tightly.
If only people knew how hard it is for us? Many wouldn't believe it isn't due to over-eating.
Well we know better. I think my thyroid now working a bit better speaks volumes. I'd love to not have to take thyroxine ever again.
Maybe asking a bit too much, even from bariatric surgery?
I've decided if I continue losing I'd prefer my op after my son's stats next year. I need to be fully available.
I've weighed myself tonight incase too busy in the morning.
I wonderful surprise I've lost over my normal 1kg per week loss. Now 120.50kgs from 121.70kgs last week. And I have water tummy tonight.
I wonder if I'll weigh less in morning? Had leisurely walk in supermarket today with less pain but still on max. tramadol. This afternoon a painful sleep thou. Pressure on back and tingerling foot.
I'm now officially less than when I had burn out up until 2015. All insulin weight lost and some!
Maybe I will have lost a stone by november as dietician predicted. No carb cravings at all, not even for chocolate. Especially not white bread, nor pasta. Potato sparingly. Protein bread has really helped.
I saw a Hovis low carb loaf today, more carb per slice than morrison's own protein sliced. Looked very stodgy and thicker sliced.
Ooh! Yes!! Didn't think to measure too! But I'm nearly back in size 14..... Down from 18 since diagnosed in March!Morning. Small loss of 0.2kg this week. Felt a bit disheartened until I took my body measurements and found that I've lost an inch from each of my waist, hips and chest in the past two weeks. Feeling much better for that!
Really wish I'd taken measurements at the outset - the ones I took two weeks ago were the first.
Yes! Me too! Always fluctuated in my weight .... Either hormonal or water retention or lack of exercise!!Not gaining is a great thing - I know that when I stop losing it will be really hard to maintain. I've NEVER managed that In my life previously.
I weighed this morning afterall. I'm 119.60kgs this morning!A 2.10kg loss this week! I'm absolutely delighted.
4.5lb loss! Last week I was full of water, even some last night. Once I month this happens just before monthly, it feels.
Morning. 77kgs today froma start of 101kgs in june. We are going to the good food show today which we booked before my dx. Will be looking at it all from a completely different place when compared to the last time I went.
And I so much agree with polgara, maintaining is so very difficult. ( loved those books, btw!)
No weight loss this weekI blame my parents! Went to their's last weekend, my Dad who does all the cooking was very obliging with helping me keep my low carb eating going and my blood sugars stayed in the 5s mostly, however the portion sizes were bigger and this week I've been eating up the left over low carb lemon shortbread biscuits that I made to take with me. They may be low carb but they are far from low calorie! But they have provided a little bit of comfort eating, as my daughter left for the first time for Uni this week and I'm missing her dreadfully Back on the straight and narrow this weekend
Ooh! Mr BMI!! Just discovered that way of looking at weight!!OK, when I went to have my buncha DEXA scans done. I was 143.2 but I had a pair of jeans on, a tee shirt and a regular shirt. underwear and socks. So, Friday weight is less than that but unknown. But. Mr. BMI probably went up because I found out I have shrunk an inch.
Sorry I'm a bit late to the party. This week has been a bit hectic to say the least!
Good news though. I've lost another 2.5lbs. I think I'm now only classed as "overweight" according to NHS BMI.
Hope you're all well x
I found my pound !!!
I stealthily crept up on the weighing scale yesterday and it said 7.00 stone I might try that again
CAROL
I had one sedate day and it's bloated me up. In alot of pain thou so had a restful day. None since, even thou still in pain. Having b12 and iron tested (yesterday). Pain puts me off walking.
Hi friends,
I came on this thread a while ago, saying I was 177lbs and needed to be 170lbs. You were all very supportive.
However, I dropped out of watching my weight over summer, and I've actually put a fair bit of weight on- I was 183lbs when I weighed myself earlier this week. The people around me say I look better now, and that I was gaunt before; my wife tries to be kind by always getting me gin and spirits coz it keeps my bloods down if she wants me to have a meal out with her or try some fruit or treats she's brought etc. The fact is though, my health is just starting to move in the wrong direction. My bg readings are still pretty well-controlled, but I'm showing fat around my stomach- the exact 'belt' that presages metabolic syndrome; I'm also starting to get some of the neuropathy symptoms that I had in pre-diagnosis days when my liver was in a bad way (and I was 220lbs) . I would imagine alcohol has put my triglyceride readings through the roof, but it's still closely linked with my weight gain.
All in all, not very good.
I suppose the way out is clear enough: dial the diet back and deep-six the drink. I'd usually look for excuses as my first line of defence, but unfortunately, they aren't proving very effective anymore
Good morning. Lost 0.7kg this week - have now lost over 30kg (30.6) in total. Still a fair bit to go from round my middle!
Lost 1.3kg this week. That's a total of 40.3kg gone now - getting very close to a healthy weight now
Thought I might aim to get my BMI under 25 by half term - that gives me three more weeks to lose another 2.5kg.
