I seem to have lost my way a little with my weight loss. I have lost 22lbs, but that was before Christmas, I have put on 3 1/2 lbs since then. I went back to Weight Watchers yesterday, and I went to a different meeting with a new leader, and she is VERY motivational. So I have high hopes of losing the rest of the excess weight.

I also walk my dogs for excercise, but I'm afraid not on a regular enough basis.

All my family are eager to excercise with me, but their promises never come to anything. So I have to devise something on my own. I think I will go swimming, but I'm not sure yet.

Love Linda

... less of me to love. Down 2 jeans size! Can almost fit in a 12 but is ridiculously too tight. I'd have to give up sitting down

I'm wondering if cholesterol wise I'm doing as well. Too bad; no way of knowing until the big test which is in March.

... Sheesh, I'm stunned too!!! Soon I'll have to put rocks in my pockets on windy days...

Focus on what you've lost, be proud! And as for the rest, just one day at a time. It's one thing to slim down but another to slim down with a smile!

Of course, everyone should also be aware that a 12 in the UK is the same as a size 8 in north america!!

... Andrea, a size 12 in UK is a 10 in North America. Last time I could easily fit in a size 8 in Canada I was about 12 y/o I think...

Don't know if it's the same on the other side of the puddle but over here clothes are soooo small and narrow. I'd have to cut myself in two to actually fit in most of them! I mostly get my clothes from 'Principles' and 'Dorothy Perkins' shops because they seem to make clothes a bit wider.

I don't think I'll ever make it to a size 12 in UK. But that is not my aim. I use the BMI thingy instead to judge if my weight is healty... Here is a link to a BMI calculator. My doc always look at my BMI, not my actual weight. Here is the link:
http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/calc-bmi.htm

At the moment, my BMI is 26,3... and 24,9 would be normal for my height. So still have work to do...

Oops, yes, my mistake!

UK sizes are 2 bigger than in north america, not 4.

Jenny, Marie, Ed, and Linda, Congratulations on your weight loss! Keep up the good work!

Since I was diagnosed with T2 a I've been on a 2700 calorie diet my dietician has prescribed for me. Lost 65 pounds since then. Also, I walk my dog at least twice a day at 20 minute intervals, sometimes more if the weather's nice.

Ed,
Just registered on the forum. Your losing 70lbs. is very engouraging to me. However, I have lost 10 in the last 6 weeks and cannot seem to lose any more. Walk 30 minutes a day, 4-5 times a week, and watch what I eat. I know my diet is not real strict, but a pound every month or so would be great.
Any suggestions?????????

When I was dxd in Nov of 98 I weighed 188 and by Feb of 99 I was 148. I had lost 40 lbs, but then I got on the pump in 00, I was 160 (my ideal weight) and since I have had the pump I am up to 200 lbs. Fortunately I don't look like I weigh 200, most people say, man I can't believe that, I would have thought 180. Actually, one time at my doctor, the nurse put me on the scale and put it at 180, then 185, then 190...when she got to 200, she said, WOW. I would never of thought it. Which of course was a downer...but oh well. Hopefully one day I will lower weight.
