Hi everyone. This new clubhouse is now open. π
I almost can’t believe it, but I’ve been on the 800 BSD for 32 weeks.
Starting at 16stone (224 pounds, 101.605 kg) I’ve lost another 2 pounds this week, making a total of 5 stone 10 pounds (80 pounds 36.2874 kg). Fasting blood sugar at the beginning was 10.9, now it (and HbA1c) is normal – today it was 3.9.
When I started I thought I was 5ft 2ins, starting BMI 40.9, so today it would be 26.3. But the nurse checked and I’m 5ft 1ins, so adjusting BMI, it started at 42.3 and is now 27.2. Oh how I wish goalposts didn’t change!
So it looks like I’ve got around 11 pounds to lose to reach the figure that’s in everyone’s mind of 9stone 7pounds.
I’ve been buying clothes from BHS for years, but now they’re closing. Looking through the rails hoping to find something, I found a top I liked. Took a chance and bought a size 12. It fitted! Desperately needed trousers, and bought two pairs online – size 14. Back in BHS I couldn’t find any trousers I liked but decided (at the reduced price) to take a chance and try jeansπ± So I bought two pairs (different styles) – petite range – size 14. I thought if they didn’t fit yesterday, it wouldn’t be long before they did. And they did fit!
My boss visited on Wednesday – I’ve lost 14 pounds since he last saw me. His first comment was that soon I’ll not need to open the door to leave the house LOL
Seeing the family on Wednesday – again I’ve lost a lot of weight since I last saw them. Wonder what (if anything) they’ll say! And a couple of folk visiting to see the twins next week – they’ve not seen me since this time last year. Can’t wait to see their faces π
Don’t forget folks, everyone is welcome to visit this clubhouse. Don’t wait until you reach the 32 weeks. After all, not everyone has such a huge amount of wait to lose.
Looking forward to seeing you here.
