Morning
In 2019 I lost 5 stone...bought myself a new wardrobe of clothes...happy days...fast forward to 2020 and lockdown and lots of home baking and surprise surprise I put 3.5 stone back on.
I had already decided that come 1st January I was going back to calorie counting as very few clothes now fitted..between 1st January and now I had blood tests which resulted in a possible Type 2 diagnosis as a result of a blood test...GP wanted to repeated which happened this week..I managed to lose 21lbs in those four weeks and my HbA1c repeat test showed a fall from 56 to 48...sadly just high enough to confirm diagnosis.
anyway I digress.. 2 weeks ago when I had already lost getting on for those 21lbs I tried on a pair of trousers from when I’d lost 5 stone but couldn’t get them over my fat backside and stomach let alone do up the button and zip.
last week I only lost 1.5lbs and this week it’s looking like only 1lb despite keeping carbs under 70g a day and being under 1100 calories (my app tells me I can have up to 1650 calorie a day - I have a lot of weight to lose)
I really feel like I’ve lost many more pounds in the past two weeks compared to what the scales say so today I tried on that same pair of trousers and pleased to say not only did they pull up over my backside and stomach but I did up the button and zip...how can this be when I’ve lost hardly any weight in the past 2 weeks? I’m genuinely confused..I tried on a dress as well which was so tight 2 weeks ago but easily fit me today....
I would like to say it’s down to exercise, but it’s not..done no more than the usual dog walks..anyone had similar happen?
