Weighed today 9st 10.5lbs so a 1lb loss, only 3.5lbs to go to my target weight, hopefully will get there
That's pretty good @Freema keep it up.
I havn't posted for a couple of weeks now as my weight has been a little unstable up and down like a yo-yo.
I am having this yo yo effect also, is this to be expected with this condition?
If we are honest with ourselves I assume that is the reason we all on this forum, to see that it is possible to lose the weight and that some others are struggling. I struggle for one and now know at least one other is. I have been stuck for over a month so in a way it is nice to know of your struggles. I have arrive at the point of now knowing I have to change something. I have taken the gradual approach and am considering giving it a quick start by fasting which I see some do. Thanks for your honest post, I am not alone.My decision you can see was to post anyway and my hope is that if anyone else is feeling the same then they do not feel alone in this.
I weighed Z stone 0 pounds and 2 ounces on August 19 when I started taking this seriously again. I'm aiming for Y stone 7 pounds-ish. On Friday I weighed X stone 11 pounds and 2 ounces. Not exactly falling off me....
Planning more exercise, fewer carbs and a better outcome. Not had a HbA1c for about 18 months. Going to book one for 12 weeks time (if I go now it will be rubbish and I'll have to have a row with the GP about not wanting meds). If I up the amount I move and adjust the sugars my body has to cope with and lose weight and still have a poor HbA1c I won't argue about the meds.
Best wishes to my fellow runners and riders. See you on Friday.
