Would anyone like to join me in here? I'm currently 172.6, having re-re-re-re-re-started on June 1st at 238. If I could be 169.999 by New Year's Eve, that would be great!
I've been counting calories and walking with fitbit. I have a Surge.
I started on 1,200 calories but the diabetes service appointed dietician (built like a twig, could see her mentally turning the pages as she spoke to me) said I should aim for 1,300, so mostly I do. She also told me to eat a few more starchy carbs, so mostly I do.
From June to November, my step target was only 5,000 a day but in December I've pledged to do 10,000 a day.
I just finished a 12 week gym programme referred by my diabetes nurse, and have gone back to the gym I'd bought an expensive annual membership for at Easter - only did 2 months, then had a big mental and physical slump.
I'm trying my hardest! It'd be great to have some fellow 170-ers to walk with
