Weighed in again this morning after my third 36hr fast of the week, and another 1.25km swim last night.
I’m now down to 17 stone 1.1 lbs (239.1lbs / 108.7kg), which is another 0.6lbs (0.27kg) lost just in the last two days since my cheeky mid-week weigh-in. I’m so close now to being back in the 16 stone range, I can smell it! 😝
That brings my total weekly weight loss to 5.1lbs (2.3kg). Since my “reboot” in December, I’ve now lost a total of 18.8lbs, but looking back at the big picture, that’s 26lbs gone since my diagnosis!!!
That’s a fantastic result and means I’ve now lost 9.94% of my starting body weight since diagnosis (which is the important measure from a diabetic standpoint!). I’m sooooo close to that 10% figure now.
Progress Update • Feb 12, 2026
Exercise status: 1.25km swim (1 x 500, 4 x 250m) completed 21hrs into fast. Feeling stronger again!
Fasting Status: 3rd 36hr fast completed this week!
My average weekly weight loss since the reboot is now back up to 2.4lbs (1.1kg), just shy of my target of 2.56lbs per week, which is also great news. That’s despite having almost a full two weeks off of my fasting and exercise regimen. At least I managed to keep on eating properly during that time, which prevented me from sabotaging my efforts.
After 8 weeks, I think these new eating habits have become very much ingrained. And while I do foresee a day where I might occasionally treat myself with some of the foods I used to enjoy, I can see myself sticking to this as my main way of eating for life. Being honest with myself, I have to, knowing my susceptibility to Type 2 diabetes. I will always have an insulin sensitivity, and it’s something I’ll have to stay on top of permanently.
