November's progress

Weight lost: 16 lbs (7.25 kg)

Weight today: 13 stone 6 lb (188 lb OR 85.2 kg)

Unfortunately the loss is down to the chicken soup and jelly fast I've been on. My doctor signed me off for 5 days at the beginning of the week and my diet's gone topsy turvy - I've had no appetite and my blood sugars have beeing swinging all over the place.  I've lost a lot of weight, but I'm not getting too excited as I doubt it represents a real weight loss, I'm just waiting to see where my weight springs back to. Before I was ill last Wednesday my weight loss so far for November had been 5 lb and I was hoping I may have made it to half a stone.

Otherwise, cravings still seem to be a thing of the past and I feel much more comfortable around food, actually far more confident that I'll be able to cope over Xmas without undoing the weight loss.  Therefore, this month I'm planning to keep more a closer track on my weight; note where it will settles after being poorly and keep myself in check.

Oh yes, I've made an unexpected observation this month and one that I wasn't watching for, my gums.  My gums have been a problem for quite some time and over the last couple of years have I've heeded the dentist's advice but to no avail.  Anyway I haven't changed my oral regime but, out of the blue, the inflammation has disappeared, the swellings gone down and they are no longer bleeding.
