[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 152195, member: 1991"] Congratulations, Sharon! I hadn't thought of things in terms of % weight loss - I started at 97 Kg, I'm now down to 88 Kg. Last week's block seems to have unblocked at last. I've taken to weighing myself three times at least, and seeing how close I get each time. And for the last few days, the scales have been consistent at 88 Kg. I"m almost finished my second packet of pills, which means I've been on this diet for about 60 days. Seven weeks. And I've lost 9 Kg. I think the weight loss has slowed a little, but I'm still averaging just over a kilo a week. As I shrink I'm working my way through my clothes, rummaging to find smaller items. My large jeans - washed and put away. I'm about to put them in storage, I hope I never need to fit into them again. My smaller jeans - I can now slide them off over my hips without undoing the button. I'm wearing them with thick leggings underneath (for warmth) so they're staying up fairly well. But I've a long way to go yet. My smallest jeans, which date from the mid 80s, I probably won't get into ever again. However, I got them down from storage to see. My BMI has dropped from 36 to 33, which has lowered my disease risk from extremely high to high. Mind you, I think BMI is not a good guide with me, because I have always weighed heavy for my size. When the speech therapist was here yesterday I asked her to guess my weight. She reckoned I look like I'm about 75 Kg, and was gobsmacked when I told her 88. She said SHE's 78 Kg and reckoned I look a little slimmer than she does. I think she might be right - I suspect I'd easily fit into her clothes with room to spare. And yet she weighs 10 Kg less. For the non-metric - 6.5 Kg is about a stone in weight. So 10% of my original weight is 9.7 Kg. I've only got 0.7 Kg to go, to qualify for having lost 10%! Sharon, you've lost 32 pounds in 16 weeks, which gives you an average of slightly under a kilogram a week. So you've been going longer, plus you've been doing it without diet pills (unlike me). So kudos to you, you inspire me. Marg [/QUOTE]
