I started at 82 kg and got down to 65.8 kg, so that is 16.2 kg. My BMI calculator claims I'm at 23.4 kg/m2
(or almost 36 lb or 2 st 7 lb 12 oz for those non-metric people)
Thats a brilliant loss Mark. I can't wait until I can say "I need to put a little back on". Somehow I don't think I would struggle with that part!🙂
Yeah - I have lost another 3lbs this week! My total loss is now 56lbs since diagnosis! I am so pleased!
Things finally seem to be working - I have set a target with PT yesterday to go for 3lbs per week until 15/9 - if I manage it, she is taking me out for dinner. She has also offered to do an extra freebie session each week to get me there - the only thing is it is 6.30 on a monday morning! Yikes!
Still if it gets me there that would be great. Knowing what my weight will be in 6 weeks if I manage it is motivating me so much and helping me make the right choices when it comes to food!
If I don't make it at least I will have got some more weight off trying!
Total Group Weight Loss: 19 stone 11.5 lbs ......nearly there folks!

Well done Twinkle ..and there is no such thing as 'only done a pound'. A pound is a marvelous loss and as you say is 2 packs of butter! Keep going - it all adds up 🙂
Lucy you have done amazingly well!!! Im so proud of you
Ah thanks Tracey W - thats so kind of you. How are you? Not seen you on the forum for ages! Nice to see you back. x
A big thumbs up from me too!
Making such brilliant progress taking into account your hypo problems is nothing short of some other superlative I can't immediately think of!
Andy 🙂
Thanks so much Andy - again such nice words. The hypo's are still there, and the munchies I feel after don't help, but I can't use them as an excuse either!
I am still seeing the consultant and I have to say I think things are getting better a little 🙂

Well done Lucy and Twinkle
I've lost a 1/2 lb when I've been trying to put one on 🙄 (this feels a little like I'm taking the p*). I've started a food diary and measuring all my foods to see if I can figure how much cals I'm actually consuming.
Total Group Weight Loss: 19 stone 13 lbs
So who wants to drive us to the big 20? 😛

Sorry you lost weight again then Mark Not often we say that!
However, we appreciate all the losses we can get - we will make it to 20stone in August!!
I think keeping a food diary is definitely a good idea - I know I have been eating less since starting mine....and likewise it may be a way of seeing where you can add a few more calories - what about snacks? Could you slot 3 or 4 healthy snacks in each day?🙂

Thanks Margb - definitely feeling better - was having my PT session at 6.30am this morning!!! Couldn't believe there was a queue waiting for the doors to open.🙂
