Two milestones – 10% body weight and now into the 16 stone range!

I’ve finally done it—I’ve shot past my initial target of losing 10% of my body weight since my Type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Actually, I’m at 10.58%!

This is a huge win. Endocrinologists and diabetes experts everywhere point to the 10% mark as a major physiological turning point for glucose handling. It’s often the ‘tipping point’ that signals the beginning of potential remission. That’s a total loss of 28.1 lbs—nearly two stone gone since diagnosis!

The ‘Big 16’

This morning’s weigh-in also saw me back into the 16-stone range for the first time in ages! I am now 16st 13.4lbs (237.4 lbs / 107.9 kg).

The Reboot Stats

I’m also tracking my progress from my “reboot” after my diabetic neuropathy health scare in December 2025, and since then, I’ve lost 20.5 lbs (9.3kg) in just 9 weeks.

On paper, a 1.7 lb loss this week was slightly lower than my 2.53 lb target, bringing my overall average down to 2.3 lbs per week. But let’s look at the context: that average survived three Christmas dinners, a New Year’s celebration, and two weeks of illness where I couldn’t fast or exercise.

When I look at it that way? I’m absolutely delighted!

And the most important thing for me is that I’ve kept my blood sugar under control throughout that period, so I’m really confident that I’ll beat type 2 diabetes – all through lifestyle changes, and without any medication. I should see the real results of that as early as next month when I go back for my next diabetic blood test. Fingers crossed!
