Bit disappointed with that. Always weigh myself at same time each week (people my size will often vary by 4-6 pounds during the day). However, also weighed myself yesterday evening, when also 19-1, so was hoping for better. Still, there is always next week.
Well done to everyone else. Progress generally has been very good, with the inspirational nonagenarian Tony leading the way
Welcome Bunny, certainly know what you mean with the diabetes, whole new way of life to not only get use to but also learn, even with the best intentions it’s difficult. Good luck.
Update. Start weight: 19st 9lbs Last Week: 18st 9lbs Current Weight (week 8):
Shocking week. Lost all motivation due having a rubbish week at work with the snow etc. No exercise and poor discipline with the diet. Pretty annoyed with myself to be honest. I guess the only positive that I can take from it is that I don't want to feel this way next Friday so this will be a much needed kick up the backside.
The 2lb gain means my membership in the 1 stone club was a brief one, which again is very annoying.
It's tough to go out & exercise in this weather mate, so you get an exemption card this week.
Also, you are still off the smokes, so that makes up for everything.
I do all my work outs indoors so there is no excuse there. Was just a pretty chaotic week so I really couldn't be bothered by the time I got home. I'll be back so not gonna beat myself up.
Well done to yourself and everyone else though and welcome to the thread Bunny.
Total loss to date is exactly 1 stone & 9lbs in 9 weeks (just over 2.5lbs per week).
Fat Trivia - I've now shed around 10% of my entire body weight since the diet began. Which just proves what a Flobby Mr Blobby I must have been at the time.
Starting 18.4 Week one 18.0 Week two 18.1 Week 3 18.4
Week 4 18.3
Week 5 18.1
Another 2lb, happy with this as I am still not giving it 100%. Health has been abit of an issue the past week but that’s real life stuff that I can rarely control. Be great to break 18 next week.
Put the breakthrough 1 lb back on so I seem to be a bit stuck on the 14st 9lb mark.
Gave myself a stiff talking to and had a brisk 2 mile walk.
Next week I am away in a cottage with Mrs P so the plan is for more walking, however I expect the challenge will be keeping control of the calories.
If I come in at 14st 9lb again next week I will actually be happy with that.
After next week it will be time to get serious.
Generally however that 7lb off has made a difference, snug jeans now require a belt and when I have been walking (not as much as I would like) it has been getting easier.
Wont be back on my own scales until next Sunday so weigh in will be a bit later.

These things matter so much when we are dieting, well done @Phantom66
Where are you off to for the holiday next week? I wont say "anywhere nice?" because every time I see the question phrased that way my head explodes. Of COURSE it's somewhere nice, or we'd not be going there......

We are off to a cottage in Flamborough on the North Yorkshire Coast up a bit from Bridlington and down a bit from Scarborough.
Coastline looks stunning and plenty to do round and about too.
I am at 17 st 3 lbs this week. That is an overall loss of 5 lbs I think but a 2 lb gain this week.
I actually thought it could be worse. The game plan has went right out the window this week. Takeaways most nights etc etc.
Everything is going great with work but it is hectic, very hectic. With things being so busy I am finding it hard to turn my mind to eating better and stopping the ciggies.

Well done @omm
2lb a week is fine, that's over half a stone per month, & the more you succeed the easier it gets.
Last week: 19-1
This week: 18-12
Nice to (finally) hit the 18s again. Intend to start some gentle exercise next month, as well. Well done to everyone for persevering.
Phil
Good work @Essexphil you are now a senior Member of the "Over a stone lost" Club.
Keep it going mate, the upper 17's will hove into sight soon.
Put the breakthrough 1 lb back on so I seem to be a bit stuck on the 14st 9lb mark.

Well done to those that lost this week. Keep it up!
Coastline looks stunning and plenty to do round and about too.
It's especially good that you are doing it in parallel with giving up the smokes. That's a real tough gig.

Hopefully I can do a bit better next week.
