It's official...I am no longer obese

Well done LK, I know a couple of guys who took the other path (ie doing nowt about it) and it isn’t ending well for them.
 
Well done Lemmy.. I'm on that journey too... Lost nearly 2st in 4 months.
I've switched my diet to a low carb Mediterranean diet, so little bread and no potatoes. It been done as a lifestyle change to keep the weight off long term.
I'm coming upto70 so was slap bang in the heart attack zone. Must say I feel much better for it to, I've so much more energy.
 

There you go. That's the new Navy test. (It's a piece of p!$$ by the way, although some tiny wrens and old geezers struggle with it)
 
Well done!

I've lost a bit myself, been going about 6 weeks on slim fast for breakfast and dinner and normal teas but smaller portions than I was having. No sugary drinks or choice bars. I'll have a slice of ham if I'm feeling peckish.

Haven't weighed myself but the kite is flying less and I'm sleeping a lot better and no midnight trips to the kisser.

Thing is I'm on a cruise next month so that's going to undo a bit
 
Well done Lemmy, and great that u are seeing so many good benefits.
I got diagnosed with diabetes 18 months ago.
Was 5ft6 and 94kg, with 36inch waist so a tad overweight.
Gave up alcohol and sugar and do an hours walk every day now.
I'm 70kg, down to size 30 waist for the first time since about 14 and never felt better.
Wish I'd done it years ago but it took the diabetes to kick me into gear.
Oh, and the diabetes has gone

Well done to you too.
I think there's a common theme here, everyone who is losing/has lost weight is feeling so much better. It's diet not jabs for me, but whatever way you get the weight off you get the benefit.
If you're thinking of trying to lose weight, give it a go. Mediterranean diet suits me, I never feel hungry and a good diet book has shown me how it's done. Jabs may suit better. But go for it.
 
3 stone down in 10 weeks, rather use the jabs than go to slimming world and let some fat knacker who doesn't know what she's talking about try to lecture me about syns when there's no such thing when eating food.

How did you find it when you came off? I'm stopping the Semiglutide next week and am expecting to have to work hard to maintain (tbh my weight loss stopped at 45 pounds and I've just been maintaining for the last six weeks anyway, I don't feel that the injections are suppressing my appetite anymore).

I managed to stay the same weight. I definitely had more appetite and was eating more again but I wasn't going completely mad, I ate mostly healthy stuff and I still only had occasional takeaway meals and still didn't fancy anything mega-greasy like fish and chips. I'm hoping it will change my relationship with food and when I get to my target I can maintain.

Slimming World and a load of willpower.
Not had a takeaway of any description since New year. (That said, I'm absolutely gagging for Cod and chips)

I've eaten so much eggs and chicken I should be clucking.

Fantastic. Done it the hard way then. More likely to stay off without jabbing chemicals into your body.
Very well done.
