And some more pretty good weight losses there! 🙂

(and, shhh!, I was actually at 193lbs this morning, there's a possibility I might be able to record my first loss in 2011 tomorrow?!).
 
Fingers crossed for you Andy 🙂
 
Well done everyone some fantastic losses in there :D.

I lost 1.5lbs this week so nearly back to the weight I was in October before I started faffing out :D.

I think that brings the total to 4st 10.5lbs
 
A fantastic loss Carol - keep going girl!
 
Thanks Girls xxx
 
Well done Carol, that's a great loss
 
Well done Carol!!

I'm in a similar position to you in that I have been losing weight this year, but it's just been taking me back to where I used to be just before Christmas.

Anyway, I am now in a dilemma. I've already weighed myself and to all intents and purposes I am 1/2lb down (well 0.6lbs actually). I can either wait a little longer to lose the extra 1/2lb and record a full 1lb loss, or I can get rid of that nasty 1/2lb on the total right now.

Decisions, decisions! :D

Andy
 
I decided to wait.

The result is in. I can report a 1lb loss this week!

Also, according to my scales my body fat% is 14.6 (lowest ever), my visceral fat rating is 6 (lowest ever) and my muscle% is 40 (highest ever).

In addition, the last two nights have been completely cramp-free (probably because I have stopped exercising at the moment beyond my normal daily activity - had to cycle into town yesterday).

So it's just excellent news for me all round today!

Current total weight loss is therefore .....

4st 11.5 lbs

Andy 🙂

p.s. In case anyone doesn't know, visceral fat is that which surrounds the internal organs. Some of it is needed, but as with most things, too much ain't good. I started at a rating of 13 or so, from memory.
 
Well done Carol and Andy. I will weigh myself in the morning before the hospital so it may well be a very early post. Keeping my fingers crossed 🙂
 
Well done everyone on your successes. Just a 1lb in the last week but don't think I did myself in favours by getting on the scales this morning after a couple of bottles of red and a lasagna meal last night.😱

Well done Toby on the 1lb loss, you lucky thing lasagne causes a horrific spike for me ..
 
Andy - well done - you truly are an inspiration!

Thank You Steffie! To avoid a spike after eating lasagna I use a split insulin dose, last night I injected 2/3 of my insulin before eating and the rest 2 hours later, my highest bg reading was 7.4 and went to bed on 5.7 and woke to 6.1. Split doses are hard to work out at first and it is really a case of trial and error before getting the balance just right.
 
Hi Toby, really sorry I missed your post -well done on the 1lb off!
 
Well done Andy - but you are still looking at the decimal point!! hahahaha.

How do you know the visceral fat figure? (think it was that), the one round the internal organs?
 
Hi Andy (or anyone)

My scales are supposed to do fat and something else, but they just weigh me and then give ERR for the rest. Any idea how I might fix the error?

I just, I just can't stop looking at the nasty little point (shudders). 😉

The set of scales I have can send a small electric current though me (from batteries). It forms an electrical circuit from the feet through to the hands and back down via a set of hand grips connected to the base via a wire. Using some jiggery pokery that I don't understand, it can then estimate fat and muscle% plus give a numeric representation of the amount of visceral fat. I have no idea how accurate it is, but have just been paying attention to the direction that the various measurements are going. They do seem to be in direct correlation with my weight loss though, which is good. 🙂

According to my scales there are various errors possible ....

Err1 --> Your palms or soles are not in direct contact with the electrodes
Err2 --> The posture for measurement is wrong.
Err3 --> The soles or palms are too dry.
Err4 --> Values of body composition are out of measureable range (I really don't think this one is likely)
Err5 --> Abnormal operation (it says to re-insert the batteries and try again)

or maybe the batteries are just getting low on juice?

Andy 🙂
 
Well done Andy
