Weekly weigh in - Fridays

[Dandelade]

So happy to still be 10st. Never ever maintained weight before. Have had years of rising. Liking this way of eating, and no counting involved!

Go MrsA2!

Good morning Friday weighers.
Today a loss
45kg exactly 7st 1lb
Not really surprising with all the running around I have been doing, but definitely going in the wrong direction.

Hi SlimLizzy, just wanted to say I’ve been reading your posts and hoping you’ll find something to help!

My old faithful reliable weight loss aid is eat loss carb and low calorie. Low carb for fatty liver. As fatty liver stops weight loss. Low calorie as high calorie doesn't help me lose weight but they have to be a duel effort or I'm wasting my time. Now I'm pressured into eating to FODMAP. Only if it fits the dual weight loss plan I've decided and I won't be changing that, not for a while anyway. How do you feel about low carb& low calorie for you? When do you lose any weight no matter how small?

Thanks Ickihun. I’m totally stalled and lost now like. I’ve tried reducing calories and/ or reducing carbs, or increasing activity, to disasterous results! I get a weird stutter/ slur, lose balance and tip over. I think it’s linked to my hypothyroid (I take levothyroxine).

I was losing a pound a week every week until started on levothyroxine, then it slowed to every two weeks, then every three weeks, and now nothing. Up till then had lost 2 stone, which was 12% of my body weight, and 8 inches from my waist. So I’m fairly happy about it and relieved to have a more stable thyroid. But I am still about a stone overweight and totally out of ideas now!

How’s things going with you? What is fodmap?!

12.2 stone this week. Been around 12st give or take a 1lb or 2lb for almost 3 months now so i think i am maintaining. I am eating alot more but at less than 20 grams of carbs a day cannot see how i can put the weight back on. I exercise with resistant bands 5 days a week and feel like i am getting stonger and my goal is end of year for that to build some muscle

I'd like to join the thread (even though I'm not T2). I've been stuck at 80kg for years, with low carb preventing me from going higher but not doing much more.
Had an alcohol free month in January and got down to 78kg. put it all back in Feb (drank wine most nights and stopped going to the gym during peak covid in New Zealand).

March is dry again and I'm at 77.3kg today, which means I'm overweight instead of obese. Would like to lose more but the trick will be to see if I can keep the loss in April...

81.1 Kg still going in the wrong direction up. But still under 13 Stones just.

 

[Dollylolly]

60.6kgs I’ll take that
I know it’s a gain but not that much thankfully

 

[SlimLizzy]

25.03
Weight now 45.9
This increase is due to our guests cooking style. Pasta, potatoes and bread are the main ingredients. Sometimes all three in the same meal. Impossible to refuse when they have cooked for us, so have abandoned all ideas about low carb and am just going with the flow for now.

I have lost 1lb since last week so 143lbs. It is small but I’m happy. Everyone seems to be doing really well.

 

[Andydragon]

75.7kg today so a small drop, but a drop nonetheless

 

[mo53]

Good morning, I’ve just weighed myself and scale says 141 lbs ! That’s a loss of 2 lbs! I’m beginning to wonder about the scales

 

[ultradad]

12.1 stone this week so happy with that. Just going to keep working with resistance bands and see how it goes

 

[EllieM]

77.4kg today so 100g up from last week, but low for the week was 77.2kg so basically no change,. Am now in April so drinking some alcohol, main aim is to not gain over the month...

 

[valuator]

March 25th - 7-day moving average of 196.2 pounds
April 1st - 7-day moving average of 195.6 pounds

Net loss of 0.6 pounds for the week.

 

[Dandelade]

Well I found a way to lose a pound - vomiting for 2 days and having labrynthitis! The world is still swimming a little bit but I can now walk.

 

[mo53]

Good morning, I’ve just weighed myself and I am still 141lbs so I’m beginning to believe the scales. I’d love to get into the lower 9 stone range but we will see. Swimming 2/3 times a week certainly helps.

 

[EllieM]

Well I was at 77.1kg this morning which I don't entirely beleive (my scales are very variable) but it's a reduction so I'll take it as a win.

 

[ultradad]

12 stone again. Eating alot more now and its just stuck there. Get on the scale every week hoping i put weight on but i do enjoy this way of eating
