Some new weight loss milestones!!
I weighed in again yesterday to find I’m now down to 18 St 7.9 lbs (259.9 lbs / 118.1 kgs). So that means I’m now under 260 lbs! Also means I’m under 120 kgs! And I’ve now lost in total 9.9lbs (4.5 kgs) sooooo close to my first 10lbs, and almost 1/5 of the way…

7.1 lbs down in 4 weeks!
I have been reasonably consistent with 18-20hr fasts each day, and keeping my calorie intake well under my daily target, as well as getting more exercise – so I had another cheeky mid-week weigh-in to see how I’m doing. I’m currently 18 stone 10.7 lbs (262.7 lbs / 119.41kgs). That’s 7.1 lbs (3.2kg) down already…

Well on track to conquering diabetes (and hypertension)!
Diabetes UK recommends a weight loss of 15kgs for diagnosed Type 2 Diabetics (T2D) because this can literally reverse the disease effectively putting it into full remission. This week’s weight loss of 2lbs / (0.9 kgs) takes my total loss to just under 3kgs (2.8kgs!), so I’m already almost 1/5 of the way there! That’s…

Another 2lbs down this week! 6.3lbs in 4 weeks!
I’ve mostly been fasting 16-18hrs per day and also using MyFitnessPal to track daily calories, sugar and salt, and the results speak for themselves. I just weighed in this morning and am now at 18 stone 11.5 lbs (263.5 lbs / 120.36 kgs)! That’s a total weight loss this week of 2 lbs, taking me…

The dangers of food delivery!
Is it just me, or did Covid make it far too easy to order takeaway? With almost every restaurant available on Deliveroo or Just-Eat, along with those who already have their own fleet of delivery motor scooters, we now see almost every type of food available at our fingertips, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, groceries, booze.…

My broken heart
I can’t recall now if I mentioned it, but last month, on June 20th, I had to have my beloved white German shepherd Willow put to sleep. She’d had a long battle with cancer which finally got the better of her. The months before were quite stressful as you can imagine, but nothing compared to…

Diabetes and hypertension – the double-whammy
So, now that it looks like I may still have Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), and I definitely have hypertension (aka – high blood pressure), I started looking into the link between these diseases. It’s pretty stark. Hypertension is twice as frequent in patients with diabetes compared with those who do not have diabetes. Moreover, patients…

Nearly 5lbs lost in total
OK – so if you read my last post you’ll see I had 10 days almost where I really wasn’t thinking about my weight, and my blood pressure was so high I was frankly nervous about exercising. I’d had a work colleague who had a stroke while running a marathon and didn’t want to take…

My heart hasn’t been in it – NHS woes
10 days since my last blog entry – you have to wonder if my heart has been in it. Well – I can honestly say it’s been a rollercoaster 10 days, and as a result – no it hasn’t been. Firstly – I got the results of my “official” blood test results back, or at…

The scales do lie
Relying on your scales as a measure of progress is problematic – your body weight will fluctuate naturally from day to day but even from hour to hour based on what you’re drinking and eliminating, whether you’re exercising or being sedentary. Certainly weighing in more often than once or twice weekly is never going to…
