Weekly weigh in - Fridays

[ToveyKath]

Good morning all

I’ve now completed 54 days of Michael Mosely’s blood sugar diet. Still enjoying it & the positive all-round impact on my life. I continue to lose weight, although progress has settled down after the initially dramatic losses, my body measurements continue to improve, and I feel more alert and well, not to mention improvement in sleep patterns. So my stats stand as :

Start weight, 7/1/18: 114.2 kg
Weight last Saturday, 24/2/18: 100.3 kg
Weight today, 2/3/18: 99.3 kg
Weight loss this week: 1 kg
Total weight loss: 14.9 kg

So that’s 15% of my original body weight lost! Very motivating!

Just a couple more days before I can get my blood tests redone, although may be a bit longer as I’ve got a busy week coming up. Looking forward to hopefully lowered hba1c results.... time will tell!

Onwards and upwards, good luck everyone, and never forget, no matter how many times we stumble, it’s the getting back up that matters.Its taken me several years to get back up ( I’ve lost a lot of weight before, but regained it all and more) but the hba1c results were my personal kick up the backside, and I’m determined to get it right this time & not slide back into bad habits. Thank you all for your brilliant support and encouragement, I will try to do the same for you. I’ve still got a long way to go but hopefully on the right path

Down 0.9kg this week, which is 0.6kg (bit more than a pound) of real loss as I was slightly up last week. Now at 60.9 kg.

Started - Dec 2016 - 101.kg
Last week - 61.8 kg
This week - 60.9 kg
Total weight loss - 40.2 kg (6 stone 4.5 pounds)

Definitely slower and taking more effort these days, but getting there!

Edited to add that I just realised that I’ve now lost 40% of my body weight.

Well done @Goonergal know you worked hard for this how much more are you aiming to lose?

Yay still same weight as last week - well .02pounds down - but still 9.6. As I’m trying to maintain now this is good. I decided to go for a maintenance routine of just lunch and dinner with coffee and cream for breakfast this week to see results so will try this out for another week to see if this continues to work for me as a method. To lose anything at end had to do several days of one meal a day and so it’s great I don’t have to do this there has to be some reward for getting here!

Not sure I'm going to post this Friday. Very despondent due to my current ailment. Still in agony and back to GP Thursday if suspected gallbladder/duct is infected and needs more help.
Up through the night in pain. No weight loss when sleep is interfered with, for me. Was up at 3am but tossed and turned. Got up but I'm exhausted. Too much pain this past year.
GP hinted on my back horrendous pains may be to do with gallbladder or intestines.

I'd love to be able to walk without agony. I'd love to throw my crutch that has kept me upright in dizziness etc.
We are both salivating at the idea of me getting back to normal.
Bulging disc maybe just be from inflammation and ongoing infections?

Oh poor you it is so depressing to have so many bad conditions following each other and creating so much pain and trouble Hope you have gotten some help and relief now

Not trying to lose any more - have been maintaining below my goal weight of 68kg since November 2017 - but hanging out on this thread as I keep trying to get the balance right

Impressive stats there Polgara you should be very pleased. Early on in my journey I read not to go too low, hover around bmi of 22.

Top. top effort and top post. You seem very definitely a "radiator" type - love the positivity

12 stone 0.8 Lbs and 18.7% body fat this morning. Weight hovers around 11st 13 to 12 st 1 over the last 2 years all feels a bit meh. I am wondering if I have reached a balance between further weight loss and what my body can do exercise wise on a sustainable basis. Goal for me is to sustain diet and exercise pattern, weight and hba1c for 20+ years with no medication, especially insulin, or complications. Common sense tells me I won't be upping exercise regime in 15 years+ time.

Know it’s all individual but I find that although exercise helps me feel better emotionally and physically I don’t do as much exercise as I used to when I was overweight . For me diet is the only thing that really works and reduces my weight athough I do do a minimum amount of walking and Pilates to try and stay healthy and keep my middle looking flat! Exercise also makes me hungry which for me can be counterproductive!
