Thank you for your kind words, indeed I am wondering if where I’ve reached is my ‘natural’ weight now. I do think I have a significant amount of fat in my spare tyre but may well have more excess skin there than I think.
Rachox, some people just seem to find "their place" when it comes to weight. The only irritation is when "their place" isn't aligned to their desired "place".
I'd also ask anyone losing a material amount of weight (and 6st is a very, very material amount) that there may be some excess skin around which even if it isn't wrinkled or floppy just isn't filled out any more.
I didn't lose anything like as much as so many on here, but when I was being assessed for a potential Coleman Fat Transfer procedure, I offered up my midriff, declaring there to be fat present, only to be told I was wrong. My little bit of "fat" was in fact excess skin.
Afterwards, I could decide if I was more gutted to have excess skin or be left with a wonky bosom. I actually doubt I'd have gone ahead with the fat transfer anyway for other reasons.
I don't waste any head space wondering how much excess skin I might have, but it obviously weighs something.
Don't write off because the liver is over working. Try a liver detox?I’m going to duck out of this thread for a while now. My weight has well and truely plateaued and it’s making me anxious every Friday to have to declare my figures. I’m not forgetting that I’ve lost six stone since diagnosis and know that’s a huge achievement which I’m very proud of. However the last stone and a half that I need to lose to achieve a ‘healthy BMI’ isn’t going anywhere fast
No stressing please , it only makes matters worse. Ok?I have put weight on I suspect the increase in prednisolone is starting to drive weight gain again now at 157 Lb not good.
Were you studying?
I have brought my expensive family back to the area I know like the back of my hand and where I can afford to live without many restrictions.
I was struggling with my health and a new baby without any childcare. First child was a doddle to look after but my new baby was very very hard work. Still is.
I've been very lucky with a very helpful council. They really help my children in the absence of any extended family support.
I tried to have children when I was younger but I was infertile even with huge weight losses, as weight was blamed but wasnt picked up as diabetic as I was using metformin for pcos and my own version of low carb.
I'm looking forward to this week's weigh-in as I've managed to restart swimming yesterday. I plan on 2-3 times a week, eventually.
Don't stress but relax into more movements with a new empty food diary and new empty bg diary. Concentrate on bgs and a refresher on what food can be changed. Give it a go. If liver dumping, try some fatty protein nibbles to keep bgs down.I need help I’ve stopped losing but not gained either
GP practice weighed me as 131.90kgs this morning. Smashing my weight loss goal... again.
