Easy come, easy go – business trip blips, and how to reframe a 6lb weight gain as a success!
So, after my last post in which I saw my biggest weekly weight loss since starting this program in December, I had a business trip to Paris which I also mentioned. I came back from the trip feeling really positive about myself. I had avoided all of the obvious temptations completely. Not a single slip,…

My biggest weight loss week so far! An absolutely stonking week!
My final weigh-in this week, and it did not disappoint! This is why I don’t worry about the odd “birthday blip” on my weight loss and diabetic reversal journey. I weighed in this morning and – fanfare please…. I am now an increasingly svelte 16 st 7.7 lbs (231.7 lbs / 105.3 kg). That’s a…

The Birthday “Blip” is gone (and it took some friends with it!)馃槀
Well, that didn’t take long! In my last post, I talked about my聽 “Birthday Blip” – a 1.7 lb gain after a week of entirely expected birthday celebrations. But even when you plan for a fall the landing still bruises the ego. You know it’s probably just water weight when you see the scale move…

The birthday blip! “Life gets in the way”
Last week was not only my birthday, but also that of my partner. We had planned a quiet celebration dinner at a local steakhouse, and I had further plans at the weekend with friends and family. I knew going into that week that I was not going to lose weight, and had budgeted for it…

Another one (point 5) bites the dust! 馃
Post-36hr weigh-in this morning, and I’m now at 16 stone 11.9 lbs (235.9 lbs / 107.2 kg). That’s another 1.5 lbs lost in just the last three days since my Saturday weigh-in! That’s now 22 lbs (9.98 kg) lost – almost 10kg in less than 10 weeks! We should really discount the two weeks when…

Is fasting hard?
That鈥檚 the first thing people ask when I tell them I don鈥檛 eat for 36 hours at a time. My answer is always: “It depends.” If you鈥檝e followed my “reboot” since December, you know it鈥檚 not always a walk in the park. I view fasting like a muscle. If you don’t exercise it, it withers.…

Two milestones – 10% body weight and now into the 16 stone range!
I’ve finally done it鈥擨鈥檝e shot past my initial target of losing 10% of my body weight since my Type 2 diabetes diagnosis. Actually, I鈥檓 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鈥檚 often the ‘tipping point’…

An amazing week for weight loss!
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…

Another 1.7lbs lost in just 2 days!
Another 36-hour fast done, another swim鈥攁nd I felt much stronger in the pool last night, managing 1.25km pretty comfortably. I weighed in this morning and in just those two days, I’ve lost 1.7 lbs. Again, some of this will be water weight due to fasting and exercising, but a significant amount will be body fat.…

Back on track with another 2.8lbs week!
It’s been a while since I’ve posted, which usually means I haven’t made much progress. That is both true and not. During the flu bug and blood pressure issues I reported, I was unable to exercise or fast. I did try to get back to fasting, but a natural side effect of a fast is…
