Okay...and you can see my driving licence photo...it's vile...maybe I'll wait until after lunch before I show you😱

Excellent progress...you must be bloomin' delighted.
Get yourself on Ebay mate. I have a wardrobe stuffed full of other people's cast offs. You can then sell the stuff again when it's too big and replace it with smaller sizes.
(Are my Scottish roots showing?)

Or look in charity shops. They were my best friend when I lost weight,but mostly donating

The cheeky beggar! 😛

Ok if he was a dog lover ?

The good news is that the volume of a sphere dictates that 1 stone of fat on a large sphere only forms a thin layer. However, 1 stone on a smaller sphere represents a much thicker layer. The smaller you are...the greater the inch loss for the same weigh loss. Hurrah!

I heard an analogy to this yesterday from a colleague. She said it's like a roll of toilet paper. You don't notice a piece or two off a new roll but as you get towards the end every piece is noticeable. I'm hoping this logic and observation will power me the remaining 48%.

What an excellent analogy...and all the more so because of its everyday nature. Now I shall be reminded of my inch loss goal several times every day.

Another month gone and down to 13st 1lb. so 9lb lost this month.

Target 165lb so 18lb left to go.

It's still coming off. Noticing the changes more and more.

12st dead by Christmas Day would be amazing. I think I can get close!

Well done!

Well done - I missed out, by only half a pound, for my 5 stone award this morning.

Still a zillion to go - the old fashioned way. No surgery for my as I do not believe in it.

Five stone, that's fantastic, you must feel great!

Actually no, but I put that down to Dad passing away in July, still getting over that.

But certainly no bingeing - smaller meals - better choices - long may I continue being in the right head space

He'd be very proud of all your hard work. Keep it up.

It's certainly looking like a strong possibility! Well done, really terrific progress! 🙂

Another 9lb flushed away (I can't help thinking about your toilet roll analogy).

I had to squint a bit to read your HbA1c readings. 99 down to 30 is absolutely fantastic. Keep at it mate 🙂🙂🙂

Ha ha, thanks MBT, hopefully a little less metformin will save on paper!

It's quite a hard figure to digest. Perhaps a freak number. Hopefully once at goal weight we can find the right balance.

I was a carb and sugar addict - my new diet is 180deg the other direction.

I have some slim fit chinos 34" waist which I'm Foucused on wearing on Christmas Day.

 

[Marsbartoastie]

The chinos may fit on Christmas morning, but I'd have some joggers on standby for after Christmas dinner 😛

Curiously they are stretchy fabric, slim fit. This seems to be all the rage. I feel trendy owning such things!

I can hear the siren song of skinny jeans calling your name
