I’ve battled with my weight throughout adult life and fluctuated between 155kg [around 24 stone 6 pounds] and 81kg [less than 13 stone]. Between late October 2013 and January 2015, I lost around 67kg [around 10.5 stone] but have put a lot of it back on. So here I am again, attempting to lose weight, but this time it’s also to try and reverse type 2 diabetes and severe cirrhosis of the liver. My FibroScan kPa Median reading of 20.7 [a ‘normal reading’ is ~5.3 kPa; 10-12 kPa is severe fibrosis; and above 12 kPa is cirrhosis]. I’m starting again – 3rd of August 2026 – at 133.4kg [circa 21 stone] and would like to lose around 38kg [6 stone] and get down to around 95kgs [15 stone]. Here’s where I’m up to.
