Well done northerner.
 
Just noticed l haven't weighed myself since april, and im now down to 82.5kg, which is 13 stone. Everyone is telling me to stop losing weight despite my BMI being 26 & being told i need to be 12 stone 7lbs to not be overweight.

I tend to go on how I feel about myself rather than the actual weight targets - they are very artificial. My BMI is actually around 22, but I can see with my eyes that I have some flab I need to shift, and that will involve a little more weight loss, no doubt. I was officially underweight when I was younger, but I have a small frame.
 
I haven't been this light for over 20 years. What surprised me most was when l looked in a full length mirror in a public toilet yesterday. That was the first time l could see how much weight I've lost. I hardly recognized myself!:D
 
Nice one Northie.🙂 I was a bit disappointed today. Tried some size 30 trousers on in Tesco & they didnt fit by a long way. Yet my size 32 one's fit me with room to spare!

I hear you..... 172 this morning (12st5) down from 190ish in the New Year & down 50lb from this time last year..... Dr. initially told me to get to 180.... I thought that was unrealistic & thought that 190 was doable with effort. Not been this weight for 30 years or more

Wore my suit for a wedding that I attended on Saturday (bought the suit about 17 years ago), needs some serious alteration!!!! Even some wildland firefighting pants that I bought 10 years ago and never fitted are a little on the lose side now.

Time to go out & buy some even smaller belts

I had to dig out my belt recently because my 32"s are getting very loose - tape measure shows 31.5" (down from 35" in January) and I'm on the third notch - had stopped wearing the belt because it wasn't long enough before! 🙂 All my excess weight goes on my middle and there's still a bit there. I haven't done anything significant to achieve this other than stop drinking alcohol in January 🙂

I could have sworn that my Dr. prescribed merlot..... Unfortunately insurance doesn't cover it.....
 
I've lost another 2 pounds! 🙂 Pretty close to my 'ideal weight' really, although I have a bit of a stubborn muffin top that refuses to budge! 😱

Total now 8st 3lb!
 
I've lost a couple more kilos in the last 2 months. Now 81.1kg. Annoyingly my waist measurement hasn't changed at 93cm. I never used to use metric, but as they use it at the docs, thought I'd stick to it. My BMI is 25.6, so still a way to go.

Well done Mark 🙂 I've lost another couple of pounds in the past week - I'm not trying, just no alcohol since January 🙂 Can't get used to metric at all, so will translate your 2kg into 4.5 pounds 🙂 Adding in my two, this makes a total now of

8st 9.5lb!
 
Sorry I can't add much to the total.... Hovering annoyingly in the low 170's, really want to break the 168 barrier.... BMI 23.3
