1.5 lbs off this week please Fred

Nice to see you back Vix. And good luck with the mammogram job - you'll need to be a very cheering person in that role. Just up your street I should think.

Great loss Kayleigh! :j:j

Good luck with the next stage Hezza. It sounds very promising. Empowered is a lovely description.

Good luck with the fresh start KPC. What sort of exercise class?

Please mark me down for - 1lb again this week.

I don't know how I did it after having a bake-athon cake-athon with neighbour over the weekend but I now weigh 9lbs less than I did when I joined you guys on 1st October. I know it isn't much of a loss at a time but it did take me a long time to gain the extra weight so I don't mind in the least and I'm not really doing without anything except the after 9pm stuff that's now been dropped back to 8pm so I get off my bum and make dinner earlier. Hoping to cut this back to 7pm very soon, then my lunar diet will work on a 12 hours on, 12 hours off basis. :rotfl:

Another STS for me please Fred. (After a weekend of pigging out that's getting away with murder!)

Thanks for all the positive vibs about the job - now I really do have time to freak out - only kidding! Keep repeating to self ... this job is mine.... this job is mine... this job is mine....

Now I finally have an excuse to go clothes shopping for some serious threads. The job is all about client liaison to important that the image is right, my sad old jackets & trousers just won't cut it, I fear

Well done to all the losers & STS this week :T

This morning, 76.8 kg

Last week, 77.0 kg

So, a loss of 0.2 kg over the week.

DH and I were at a Diabetes Support weekend in Blackpool. He's been Type II diabetic since 1981 and is very well-informed, but there's always more information, more research findings and new ideas. I was interested in finding out about 'pre-diabetes', which is now being discussed quite a lot.

The information is quite scary. For example, 80% of all newly-diagnosed diabetics are obese - defined as having a BMI of 30 - 39.9.

The people who are at risk of developing diabetes have a waist measurement of:

Women: over 80 cm (31 1/2 inches)
Men: over 94 cm (37 inches)

One of the best sessions in the weekend was run by Steve and Marie Halls, who are personal trainers. Talk about 'Mr Motivator' - this man could motivate a sloth to climb down from its tree. https://www.stevehalls.co.uk

I've got his book and am adding the exercise etc that he recommends to the programme I'd already started - aqua-aerobics Monday, adult beginners' swimming Tuesday, and keep-fit at a retirement complex Friday (we do aerobics sitting on chairs). I need to regain some lean muscle which we all lose with advancing years.

If it was merely a question of eating healthy and keeping within the calorie allowance (creating a calorie deficit) that would theoretically be enough, but it isn't. I can stick at the same weight for weeks on end. At least now I've gone below 77 kg. 76.8 kg is still a whisker above 12 stone and it has taken me 6 months to lose that half-stone.

*Standing ovation* *roar of the crowd* *flowers* Amazing BB, well done! And Granny and PepPop and Nyk - only read this page so far but GREAT LOSSES peeps! :T:T

Just caught sight of my upper body and feel like I've lost weight...of course this could all be entirely delusional but happy either way :rotfl: If nothing else I need my fat stores to get me through the arctic winter the next few months

hezza THAT JOB IS YOURS END OF;)

MC See what you are saying about diabetes but I must have been one of the 20% because I never had a BMI higher than 30, was not obese at the time (diabetes itself made me lazy, I used to think that I was eating to 'stay alive' with having to take the insulin) never had any pre illnesses, always healthy and active, when I was diagnozed(sp?) ten years ago no one living or dead had ever had diabetes so it was not genetic and I was 'older' than the usual age of the onset:rolleyes:
