I'm doing daily weigh ins, I find it more motivating. It might not be for everyone but if anyone would like to join in with posting every day your weight and loss, and how the day has gone - to stay in focus. Good luck!

Hi everyone! Quick update today as rushing around this morning.

SW: 16st 5lbs
CW: 12st 0lbs
GW: 10st 2lbs

1lb down this week so that's 61lbs total since I started. Hope everyone is doing ok!

Keeping myself accountable so here is my update today. I'm 11st 12lbs today so only 1st 10lbs left to lose before I reach my target. It feels genuinely achievable now and I'm hoping to be down to target by end of October if I keep going. Nearly there. I hope everyone else is well and hopefully hear from you all soon. It feels so strange typing my weight with 11 at the start though. It doesn't feel real! Have a good week everyone.

Another 2lbs down this week. Happy with that and managing to stay on target despite a few treats here and there- nothing big just a couple of biscuits or a takeaway across a couple of weeks.

Well done @spackleplumb you are having an amazing journey!

spackleplumb · 06/08/2024 00:48

@Greentrilby thank you. I'm finding it easier now the end goal is looking closer at last. Determined to get there by the end of the year at the very latest.

spackleplumb · 03/09/2024 21:37

How is everyone doing? I have been run ragged the last month so not been on much but hope everyone is keeping well!
Here is a current update from me and hopefully we can keep this thread going as it keeps me motivated too.

SW: 16st 5lbs
CW: 11st 7lbs
GW: 10st 2lbs

Slowing down a bit but end goal is still the aim!

Well I went AWOL from the diet for the summer holidays, then discovered a few weeks ago that I'm diabetic which was a nasty surprise. Was put straight onto insulin but have managed to reduce my sugar levels by going low/very low carb, to the point where they've decided I can stop the insulin and switch to metformin and Mounjaro instead. Will be starting the Mounjaro Thursday which will hopefully help with weightloss as well as regulating my sugars, with the goal of weaning down the metformin.

Weight last time I posted 197lb
Weight today 209lb

@FlabMonsterIsDietingAgain sorry to hear about the diabetes diagnosis. Good that you're being well looked after and I hope it all goes well for you with the new meds. Very glad it got picked up!

Is this thread still active

spackleplumb · 30/09/2024 17:08

Hi, yes it's still active just a bit quiet. I don't mind updating to try and get it going again?

SW: 16st 5lb
CW: 11st 3lb
GW: 10st 2lb

Hadn't realised how close I am to goal now. Maybe I should change it. How is everyone else doing?

FlabMonsterIsDietingAgain · 30/09/2024 17:59

Hello again long lost chums.

Since my last update where I was diagnosed with diabetes I've had no choice but to take my diet in hand. I've also been prescribed Mounjaro by the diabetes nurse to keep my glucose under control, with the added benefit of reducing appetite.

So restarted diet 19th Aug - 218 lb
Started Mounjaro 5th Sept
CW - 201 lb

17 lb lost so far

GW - something like 170 lb, not really sure will see how it goes.
