The new "me"

[slparry]

Well after lockdown I decided to once again hit the no carb diet, allied to OMAD (one meal a day)

Started the 2nd week of January and this morning the scales confirm I've lost 6 stone since then Aiming for at least another 12 to 14 lbs, which given I'm losing 0.5 to 1lb a day shouldn't be a problem!

By the Welsh Weekend you guys will barely recognise me as I'm a shadow of my former self

Well done Steve! Can I be your diet buddy please? That way, on average between us, we've lost three stone each

See you in Wales for a Diet Coke.

Cheers,

Paul

Well done Steve.

Love to join you at the WW but can't even lift my leg over the bike, never mind riding it.
4 hospital visits and two emergency admissions in the last 6 weeks.

But the good point is that I have lost a stone. 13 down to 12.
I should be down to about 9 stone by October if nothing changes.

You don't need to lose any John

We’ll done Steve and get well soon John. My exercise regime has started (albeit slowly). Back to the mountain bike after the hols

[slparry]

ew .... I'll shy from the exercise regime Dave

[dave the german]

Fortunately Steve I do enjoy mountain biking but that curse called work always gets in the way!!

There's a mountain bike centre at Llandegla, which is about a mile from me

I don’t bounce like I used to Steve so it’s just pedalling as hard as I can

Another half a stone loss in the last week with a few more days in hospital.
On industrial grade antibiotics now to stop the latest infection - and sepsis can be a killer, so hopefully staying clear of that, but they don't seem so sure at the hospital.

I have to say that 2 years of covid has decimated the abilities of the NHS despite how hard all the individuals there are working. The co-ordinated information paths as they used to be are now confused, wrong and downright dangerous. I have had to correct errors in my medical records a number of times and the same ones about 3 times between different departments. So good luck to anyone else needing emergency treatment - because you won't get any routine treatment for about 2 years (well that's the waiting list I was on till it became an emergency). And I only got that admission direct to urology and didnt have to go through A&E, where there were at the last count 18 ambulances waiting to unload their emergency patients.
Don't get ill in Shropshire!

To be honest John I've never found the NHS "organisation" to be any different than a confused inefficient mess.

Now at 7 stone lost since Feb 22 woo hoo
