Weekly weigh in - Fridays

Morning all. Not Friday, but checking back in after my holiday. Weighing in at 58.5kg, which is 0.1kg more than before I left, so a maintain. Happy with that.

Much as I would like to shift a few more pounds - tantalisingly close to 7 stones - seems this is my level for the time being.
 
I haven't posted on here recently, but my weight has reduced a bit over recent weeks. It was around 154/155 lbs, but is now around 150 lbs, even 149 lbs some days. More importantly, according to my body composition scales my body fat has reduced from 10 to 9, and today I got a reading of 8. :)
 
I've lost 2kg this week. More in keeping with all my efforts. :) :) :)
Just another 2kg to smash my surgeons need.
I'm hoping I give him a lovely surprise. A low carb loss. :)

I'm shouting from the hilltops, guys.

If I can reverse my 40+yrs of type2 symptoms with op and low carb. The specialists will use my case, I hope, to encourage others.
It would give depressed type2s even more hope. I know I was frustrated on low carb and no weight loss after 3.5st loss, when needing 11st off.
No writing a cook book from me thou. Ha ha
I like data and unusual facts rather than food art. My 2 sisters love all that.

Looking forward to next week weigh-in :)

Well done everyone on your weight loss efforts. ;)
 
Morening fellow scale crushers.
Today I have the sad news of reporting an increase of 1lb to 14st 9lb.
I can make plenty of excuses but I won't, I ate it, so their.

Have a good salad free week folks.
 
0.2 kg off this week :)

Started 115kg 9th May ‘17
Today 77.4kg 20th July ‘18
Total lost = 37.6kg/5 stone 13lbs
 
Good morning all. 13 stone 1 lbs. up 2 lbs. Disappointed as I lost 6 on a fast and yo-yo-ed above my starting weight. Hay ho whata going do. Back to my old routing, 2 meals and fasting from about 4pm onwards. Havnt ruled out the fast again. It was an interesting experience. Have a good week folks.

Your attitude is what makes you a winner! Keep at it. I understand how hard it is. Its a laborious job but cut up into small goals, makes all the difference.

Thanks, I do tend to bounce up and down a lot. But, I was so annoyed, I wasn’t going to post at all. But I think its better to post anyway.

Averaged out over the year, it usually takes me about 6 weeks to loose a pound. And I have lost 6 stone over about 4 years. So I shall plug away... and get there in the end.

Best of luck on your own journey. You are an inspiration, I hoping for great outcome for your surgery and subsequent follow up. I am sure your determination and ingenuity will get you through.

Hi all hope all well I have wondered if I should start a maintenance thread as that’s my target at moment but may complicate things to have another recording weight thread?

Did a summary today since my diabetes diagnosis in May 2015 at hbaca1 97 and weight of 84.3kg (BMI 30 - 13 stone 4 pounds)

now hbaca1 30 (may 2018) and weight of 56.6 kgs (BMI 20.1 - 8 stone 13 pounds)

Total weight loss 27.7kgs or 4 stones and 5 pounds or 61 pounds.
@Debandez and @Rachox to add to group figures if we add all together to look at collective weight loss? Wonder how much in total has been lost on this thread!

My maintenance range I’ve set at 56 to 58 kgs or up to 9 stone 2 pounds as upper limit.

Today’s weight 8 stone 13 pounds or 56.6 kg BMI 20.1

Hello I haven’t been on the thread for ages because my weight was stuck on 145lbs and no matter how I tweaked my diet or my swimming it didn’t change. Well today I weigh 143lbs! I’ve lost 2lbs this week. The only difference is that I have done a tremendous amount of gardening this week.
