OK, I'm back (was away for 2 weeks so no access to scales).
Went to see friends and family in Australia for the first time since covid. Gathered a deep respect for salt water crocodiles which will basically eat anything and can travel up to 30km/hr over short distances.

74.2kg, could be worse but definitely need to start watching the cheese (sigh).

You and me both :)
 
I am delighted to report an amazing 7lbs off in my first week of low carb and yes, I do know a lot of it will be water, but it is still very encouraging.

How's everyone else doing?
 
No change this week. 214.3
 
Well done @filly and @MissMuffett a STS and a 1lb off is better than a gain. It is a lot of hard work, I know, having been down this path many times before. We just have to keep on keeping on.
 
Lost 5lbs this week! o_O
Must be the OMAD I’ve done 3 times since last Friday. It could be a different story next Friday though as I’m going on holiday today and it’s my birthday next Wednesday. I have requested we go out for breakfast as I’ve never done that, so a big fry-up on the cards lol!
 
Hi all.
Diagnosed about 2 weeks ago. Ha1c score of 80. Weighed at the GPs at 326lbs.
First week, I dropped all added sugar and white carbs. Further reading made me realise that dropping the number of any carbs I ingest would be a better way to go. I've aimed for 100g of Carbs a day. My wife confirmed pretty quickly that I had 'keto breath' and I can certainly taste it in my mouth now. I wasn't aiming specifically for Ketosis, but that seems to be happening. I'm also swimming 4-5 times a week and trying to walk more etc.
Anyway, last Thursday, I was 312.4lbs - though that was first thing in the morning, on my scales rather than the GP. Still, that's got to be a decent real loss for two weeks. Going to go for every Thursday now for my weigh-in. Next target is Sub-300, then keep going step by step down to under 220lbs if I can. Hopefully will have dropped my Ha1c by then too.
 
Hi all,
I used to post to this thread regularly when I was first diagnosed a few years ago, but when I got to "normal" BMI weight levels my weight plateaued and I stopped reporting to the thread. On diagnosis, my weight was 80kgs after a few months of low carbing my weight reduced to 53 kilos (see my sig) however recently the weight has started to creep back on and I am hitting 60kg. which feels uncomfortable. I know I over indulge on nuts and cream and cheese and other low carb, high calorie stuff plus I never used to drink alcohol but now don't mind a glass of wine or a good whiskey on occasion. Bad habits creeping in. I am now trying to cut back on the naughty stuff and thankfully I have managed to lose a kilo but it has taken a while to manage this. Losing weight is definitely much harder this time round. :)
