    @Sparklebright63
    Good morning and a massive well done, I’m so pleased for you.Keep going your doing amazing.

    As I know only to well how hard it can be to loose weight, only under  2 weeks ago I have started to cut out the rubbish I was eating at night time through boredom. Also trying to eat better. And been pushing myself to go out a walk twice a day. 
    I had an appointment with my consultant for a pre op for my second knee replacement but my blood pressure was still to high and I have to loose a bit off weight, Iv to go back in October so trying my best.
    You have given me the encouragement to stick with it so thank you.

    Take care ❤️

    Well done! I'm assuming thats your total weight loss so far because it's too low to be your actual weight, unless it was a typo? 12kg is 1st 8Ib.

    I'm still on my weight loss journey and have lost 2st so far. My daughter has lost 1st 12Ib.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Hi to all

    I went to hospital on Monday about my diabetes and because I am eating healthily loosing weight my bs has come down to 59 and with riding my bike it's helping even more so when my blood sugar gets down to 48 or below I will not be diabetic anymore.

    I cannot wait for that day.

    That's a really good update @sparklebright628, it's so good to hear about your positive journey :)

    Keep us updated! It's not an easy thing you're accomplishing, you should be proud.


    EDIT: Also can I just clarify, when you say you've gone from 12kg to 11kg, is that actually 12 stone to 11 stone?  As that's about 6kg you've lost! Which is quite a bit more impressive. 
    They/Them, however they are no wrong pronouns with me so whatever you feel most comfortable with
