@ickihun - Have you posted yours - Vicky? How have you done?

I've lost again.
I think I've lost that water retention, or some of it. I weighed 4.4lb lighter this morning.
Lost 6lb 6oz in 2 weeks.

 

[ickihun]

10 stone 10 Lbs this morning that's a pound down on last week almost 8 stone lost since I started at 18 stone 7 Lbs

@Liam1955 The only way I can eat nuts these days is as peanut butter or such like would that still work.

Wow @JohnEGreen . I want to follow in your footsteps! Metformin resyncs my system, everytime. Never lose without it.

 

[ickihun]

Pork scratchings helped me this week!

 

[callyandy]

Hurray, hurray, hurray
I've lost.
130.70kgs this morning, I checked twice. Maybe metformin making a difference, at last.
Was 133.70 so lost 3kgs = 6.6lb this week. Water retention tried it on last night then decided otherwise.

Well done Vicky!! Wow

 

[callyandy]

Good news for me this morning.

Lost another kilogram this week. This brings my total weight-loss to 8 kilograms in the 8 weeks since I was diagnosed as type 2.

My starting weight was 113 kg and now down to 105.

Brilliant news!!! congratulations

Can I join in please? I have managed to be reasonably good since diagnosis T2 in September but we had guests yesterday and I gorged on nuts. DH has his birthday Sunday so we are going out for a meal Saturday, Cosmo Sunday and a medieval banquet on Friday. I do intend to be careful and DH is quite happy for the contents of his plate to be rearranged to suit me but this could be the start of something bad.

I am 5ft 4. Currently weigh 81.1 kg. Want to lose another 2 stone . Waist 38. On 20 September I was 14st something
Blood pressure 97 66 83. In Sept I was HBa1c 51.

Is there a rule of thumb about how much weight I would have to lose to get a waist of 31? Until age 35 I was a skinny strip of wind and I totally refuse to be like that again.

Welcome and well done on your success so far. Regarding waist size, I don't think there's an easy answer. I started at 44 in at end of September, down to 35 now, but it's slow because I've got an "overhang" to get rid of too. Unfortunately your body will probably loose the inches at it's own pace. We're running a marathon here.
Keep going, you're getting there

 

[callyandy]

LOL

Thank you for providing a useful analogy. Thing is I now have to work harder at exercising.

Yup. True. But with less weight it must be getting easier. Good job

I remember when I first got my fitbit in early October last year. I viewed 10k steps a day as a mountain to climb. My PB is now 50k+ steps, with a average around 20k. If given up telling my colleagues how far I walk at weekends since they think I am a bit nuts

 

[Liam1955]

@callyandy - Well Done on your waist reduction .

 

[rainbow79]

[Liam1955]

@rainbow79 - Just do again what you've done in the last week! You can do it, I have Faith in You = Well Done .

Thank you it's hard to decide when you have lost all the weight you need to as I still see a much bigger person when I look in the mirror, people tell me im tiny but don't see it, don't want to go to the other extreme and be too thin....

Well done. That is a brill result. You started the same time as me and reading off my belt I have only lost 5 inches. So far no overhang but after a rapid loss in the first month or so I think it has been a slow reduction. I have only been weighing myself since xmas and I think I have lost about 6lb in that time. My brain does not work in kg.

Scales and wearing sizes smaller in clothing are your proof. And it is a real good feel factor when people pass compliments about weight loss.

@callyandy - Well Done on your waist reduction .

Thank you William. Sadly that's where my fat seems to settle. But it's going.....

A bit nuts helps!! It's when we hit totally bonkers we've got to worry.. I'm very impressed.

 

[mo53]

Good morning. I weighed in at 148.4 again so maintained this week.

 

[Liam1955]

@callyandy - Snap Cally! - But, you have done brilliantly to go from a waist 44 to a 35 . I've got the "weight" at the front on my tummy, it has been referred to as a Diabetic Belly. My waist is 36 now and my weight is down to 13 stone 6 lbs, (3 years ago it was 40 waist and I was just over 15 stone) I don't do or follow diets I just know portion control is the key .
Well Done @mo53 - You too are doing brilliantly .
I think we have ALL done really well this week - William x

 

[mo53]

@Liam1955 and @callyandy you are very encouraging
