Today I went to the doctor's to get a coil fitted. I had been waiting for this day for months- the waiting list at my doctors was weeks long and I had to get tests done in the mean time.
When I first went to the Dr. to talk about possibly getting the contraceptive device she took some baseline information including my weight. At that time I weighed in at 82.0 kg (181lbs).
Today when I went she went through all of the information with me. She said 'So you've, got a good Blood Pressure, great resting heart rate etc. but your weight is a little high'. To which I simply replied 'not anymore!'.
She then looked at me and asked if I had lost weight in the last 8 weeks. To which I replied 'Yes'. She said 'OK, but your BMI is still probably a little high because you were well into the overweight section before.
I said 'weigh me!'.
I then took off the massive ski coat and 2 jumpers I was wearing and proceeded to step onto the scale. At a height of 173cm and a weight of 73.3kg (161 lbs) I am now a healthy BMI of 24.5. She ate her words :)
I am so proud of my progress thus far! I have been killing it with DietBet, and with life. I am so happy and healthy and on the right track.
In terms of numbers:
Day 0: I started 6 weeks ago at 81.0kg / 178.6lbs
Week 1: I weighed in at 80.0kg / 176.4lbs
Week 2: 78.9kg / 173.9lbs
Week 3: 77.5kg / 170.9lbs.
Week 4: 77.0kg / 169.8 lbs
Week 5: 76.4kg / 168.4 lbs
Week 6: 75.5kg / 166.4 lbs
Week 7: 74.5kg / 164.2
Week 8: 73.3kg / 161.6 lbs
I still have a DietBet on the go and am going to weigh in to start a new one soon!
Good luck all!
