Weekly weigh in - Fridays

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
 

That’s great, @ToveyKath Those personal milestones are so important for motivation - and you’re doing a great job of supporting all of us!
 
Well done @Goonergal know you worked hard for this how much more are you aiming to lose?
 
Amazing well done you you’ll get there with your determination as you say it’s getting over the stumbles on the path that leads you to success well done you
 
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!
 

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

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.

Well done @Rachox great you are getting good results now you’re able to get about more
 
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!
 

Well done shelley262 that’s great
