The battle with the weight

Great effort, well done. I'd caveat that slightly and say 25 pounds in a single month is a lot of weight to lose in that timeframe, generally 2 pounds is a week is what is recommended.

It obviously depends on what your starting weight was but I'd possibly recommend speaking with a professional if that level of loss continues as it is very rapid.

I have lost 35lbs since the start of March on what I call the Gall Bladder diet. The pain and illness has been ongoing for 6 weeks now and includes 2 jabs a night for my blood clots (gives MrstheHibby something to look forward to doing!!). While the main pain and the COVID I caught in hospital are gone, I have developed more pain in my dodgy hip.

It turns out that my rapid pain loss has led to some muscle loss, and that the bones are rubbing more, leading to the pain. I'm not looking for sympathy, but would just point to my previous sentence as a warning.

On the plus side, I had agreed with my dietician in January that I needed to lose 4 stone this year, and I have already lost 3.

I used the Mrs Bridgehibs diet for a while, she is a shockingly bad cook (she admits its never been her strong point) food is either cooked to cremation or uncooked to salmonella level, there is no inbetween and the bucket is fed more than me 🤣

Have slowly gotten back into running and today, I had a tourist run around Edinburgh - parked at Edinburgh park and ran along to the Grassmarket, down to the bottom of the Mile, back up along Princes Street and out past Haymarket/Murrayfield on the way back to Edinburgh Park - took me a couple of hours all-in and I'm rather sore right now, but it was a lovely day for a run around the town

Just about to dip below the 13st mark for the first time in a good while - boy oh boy did stopping drinking midweek help me enormously.
