Weekly weigh in - Fridays

Hello @alf_Josiah , I’m so glad that you and the previous posters want to pick up this thread. I really need to lose weight and I know that in the past posting here helped keep me on track and it is a great way to encourage each other.

@Annb Im sorry about your medication problem. The dietitian does not sound very helpful.

Hello @danziger wow you’ve been doing fantastically well! You must find it much harder when you are unable to exercise. Hope to see you on here next Friday.

Thank you! Yes, it does add an extra challenge for sure, but when it comes to lowering blood sugar and losing weight, food does seem to be the key!
 
I'm 97kg in total....just before my high risk back operation.
I haven't weighed myself but my new dietician will next month too.
 
Good morning, not a good start! I weighed in at 148lbs last week and I’m 149 this week! But I have got my morning blood sugar more on track so that’s something.

The problem with losing weight, I think, is the medication I am taking. I have to take a cocktail of pills and insulin and then extra ones to try to allow me to move at all. But I can keep on trying. Dieticians tell me I am wasting my time.

Hi Annb, I have the same problems, far too many tablets for far too many conditions do not make it easy to lose weight, then add in not being able to exercise feels like a brick wall at times. But we will get there slowly and so far I personally haven't found a positive dietacian yet!
I don't have a set of scales now, fell out with them years ago for the above reasons. But am losing weight slowly was 76kg at Easter, dropped down to 72kg by June and am now 70kg (weighed at chemist today).
Will buy some scales and join you all weekly. :)
 
Not happy. Hadn't weighed for a few weeks. Have been on holiday, lots of walking and sensible low carb. Clothes felt looser, but scales say up 2 lbs.
May not be a lot but means I'm now 4 lbs over where I want to be at 10st 4

If your clothes feel looser, could you have gained some muscle mass from all that walking? On the other hand, 2lbs is such a small amount, my weight typically fluctuates more than that each day…
 
12.10 stone. Happy with that, 50 carbs a day and weight now stable last few weeks. I dont look good under 12 stone bit of a boney boy :)
 
@valann you are doing really well with your steady weight loss. It really is hard when you can’t exercise. I was like that for a while and really struggled but I’m now able to swim.
@MrsA2 dont be despondent I think @Lobsang Tsultim has made an excellent point that you could have increased muscle
@ultradad well done!

Good morning, I hope everyone is happy, well and keeping cool. I weighed in at 149lbs last week but weighed 147.5 this week so I’m happy. It may not be a lot but it’s going in the right direction. :)
