[SaskiaKC]

@Chronicle_Cat really good weight loss and fbg. How long was your fast?

 

[philchap1]

Good morning all,

3.9 this morning. I'm a diet only Type 2 and this is due to fasting , I finished my fast after seeing this number.

Got some good news on the scale.
I lost 3.6 lbs (1.63 kg) this week.
Starting weight was 273.59 lbs (124.10),
I'm now 215.0 lbs (97.52 kig)
total loss so far: 58.59 lbs (26.58 kg) 4 stone, 2.59

This is the lowest weight I've been in many years (almost 30 years)

Well done

Know exactly how you feel although I’m not hungry

I just feel like a Zombie (some would say look like one too)

Yes I hope for both our sakes that we see some stability

@Chronicle_Cat really good weight loss and fbg. How long was your fast?

My fast was 36 hours (1 1/2 days). I seem to get the best results if I fast through dinner although I don't do it often as I like to eat dinner with my husband. Usually I do the 16/8 (last meal at dinner, not eating till noon the next day.) I definitely get better numbers and weight loss if I don't snack, especially not the evening snack (I'm fortunate not to have dawn phenomena.)

It's a work of art to get 2 days the same, hope you are ok.

Just checking in. @karen8967 and @Cumberland those hypos must be so wearing. You and others seem to be in a season of hypos and I really hope it comes to an end. Is it usually like this at this time of year or does it have nothing to do with that?
@Chronicle_Cat great result...I bow to your commitment.

I find fasting hard, but agree with you about snacking, especially in the evening- that’s when temptation is worst though, so double well done to you.

Historically I’ve always been high to stupid high

I know both hyper and hypo are pretty bad but hypo is just plain evil
