Update on my weight loss!

[Carolsos]

Hi guys as you know I am on the keto diet and just popped on the scales today. I have lost 1 stone 12 pounds or 26 pounds for those who only work in pounds! Just another 2 pounds until I have lost 2 stone! Then after my holidays I want to lose another 2 stone, but just wanted to shout out my keto diet is working. (Bragging) really🥳🥳

Brag away as that is amazing! 👏🏻 Your joints will benefit too from weight loss especially your knees. Well done! 😁

I am atm having a flare as I am waiting to start biological drugs. I think it's about another month away! The fatigue today has been horrendous! I could not stay awake and then I just could not open my eyes. I really had to drag my body out off bed this afternoon after I had been to work! My wrists and arms are in agony! I have my wrist splints on, but I cannot wear them for work unfortunately. It is better losing the weight for my joints though. Take care everyone

Take care and good luck for your biological and I wish it was a sooner start for you.

Hi Carolsos, that's good news and well done, keep up the good work. I'm sorry to hear about the flare and hope you don't have to wait too much longer for the biologics. How is Jasmine Grace?

[Carolsos in reply to springcross]

Hi there, thank you for asking about jasmine, she is a little darling, she is putting on weight and had all her injections. Jasmine is 11 weeks now and gets more beautiful each time I see her! 😄😄

That's really great - I can hear your pride. All the best. 👍xx

Hi, I noticed your posts on the HE forum. I am trying to lose weight but found that the keto diet made me very fatigued and headachey. I also am on steroids (8.5mg pred and other meds). I found going towards keto to be difficult.

I already struggled with fatigue and migraines. I also found that the keto diet gave me a bit of gastric irritation despite being on omeprazole.

I am very impressed by your weight loss. What advice would you give to someone like me who perhaps wants to try again but has medical conditions?

Thank you.

I’m a life long slimming world person. Just had an operation and went in with a BMI of 25. Lifelong struggle but good food choices are better for all round health. I also lost/maintained my weight whilst on steroids.

Congratulations and well done you! I’ve lost some weight too now I’m finally off Prednisolone but not as much as you. You’ve inspired me to keep going! I’m sorry you’re having a flare and hope you get your biologic soon and that it will work quickly for you. X

Well done. I have hit a little plateau again on WW but I am ok as I know next week swimming is back on the cards and hopefully changes start again. I know I feel better eating the way I am now and for me less carbs is a key! x
