Small steps - big strides

[Newtothis]

Woke up this morning; weighed myself (as I do every Sunday) in spare room on WW scales; didn't believe the reading so took scales into bathroom...; my goal was to get just under 11 stone; I'm only working on losing 1-2lb per week; no more but chuffed I'm now 10stone 11- lost 3lb last week; most of that was due to worry I think. 🙄

I know I'm going to hit a plateu at some point but getting to 10 stone something is massive achievement for me especially in such a short period of time. I need to lose 10lb by christmas and I would have lost 3 stone since July.....Am determined

I may not reduce my HbA1c by then but I'm hoping to reduce my cholesterol level of 4.8.

Wow well done!!🙂 It does feel great to move to that next milestone marker down (if you know what I mean!) I'm trying to do the same thing at the moment and it just seems so difficult at times! I have lost 2 pounds this week, so hopefully should shift into the next bracket next weekend! Fingers crossed! Loadsa love and hugs! Katiexxx:

Well done 🙂 That's excellent progress.

Congratulations Newtothis.

A point of fact - scales are most accurate when placed on hard surface, rather than carpet.

Hi Copepod. Bedroom has wooden-flooring and bathroom ceramic tiles. I had to keep moving the scales because I couldn't believe I'd lost 3lb when I did the least physical exercise last week - spent all day Monday in A&E with my mom; Tuesday ECG - Wednesday Retinal eye examination - Thursday x 2 fillings. I'm used to walking 10,000 steps a day but I don't think I even did half that this week; did have swimming on Thursday night though...

Need to pick up on my exercise.... 🙂

Fantastic progress, wish I could match you, but only about a pound for me.

A 1b loss is better than a 1lb gain. You are doing great; each pound adds up...good weight loss is between 1lb and 2lb per week so keep up the good work xx 🙂
