Yes, I know that my titles are spectacularly unoriginal!
I was back in the doctor's and back on the scales on Friday. You may remember how at my last weigh-in I'd lost 3.2kg, and I was really hoping that I'd be able to lose a similar amount again - losing 3.2kg from 203.1kg would cross a nice milestone.
You might also remember that the only scales that go up to my weight were those in the pregnancy clinic, and once again it was in use, which was fair enough really, they aren't really meant for me!
Anyway, my weight nurse Jackie suggested that we try the scales there in her room, which go up to... 200kg exactly. So the term 'all or nothing' comes to mind - if her scales could weigh me at all - then I'd have cracked that first milestone.
And the result, the digital scales crept up, and up, and froze - and finished at exactly 199.9kg!
So I'd met that target, I've basically lost a stone in a fortnight, which I'm quite chuffed about really - but I know that I still have an awful long way to go! So yes, I'm still at roughly 31 1/2 stone - so my next goal is to break the 30 stone barrier. I won't be weighed again for another fortnight - I'm sure it's too much to hope that I'll make that jump in 14 days, but it would be lovely to be well on the way!
One more little thing to quickly update you on - I also mentioned in my first post that I would soon be starting on a course of pills with pretty unpleasant side effects. I'm actually quite chuffed to say that I only started those on Friday, so the weight I've lost so far was without their help, but I'm now hoping that with their help I'll keep going...

ReplyDeleteWell done!!
ReplyDeleteHey Richy B, great to see that the weight loss is going so well - a stone in 2 weeks is amazing! I'm also really enjoying reading your blog; a lovely mixture of honesty and humour, as we'd expect from you :-) keep up the good work!!
ReplyDeleteWell done Richard. It's really hard going, but you've already done the hardest bit, and that's actually getting started. Try to take a small step at a time, and the weight shoud stay off.
ReplyDeleteKeep going, Richard. Nothing is easy in losing weight, but you are really doing well to stick to your change of diet. I'm sure the dog will be pleased that you can walk further, and I hope that all your friends and family are supportive. Keep up the good work. Anne from Whitchurch (B2CS)
