Still eating fairly sensibly. Been walking plenty. Overdid the exercise, so having to stop most of it. Been getting abdominal pain, so I guess I've not yet quite recovered enough from the recent operation — oops. Walking should be OK, but no more bike and strength stuff.
Have tape for measuring body stuff now, so I can log that my gut is ~44' and regular waist size just under 43'. Hopefully that goes down in time. I've found that if I keep my meals under approximately the 600kcal mark, my IBS symptoms don't flair up, provided the food's low FODMAP and not too heavy.
Disappointed the weight loss has almost stopped. Apparently I've lost a pound, but to me it's just the same. I feel healthier, though. I know I need some proper exercise, but it's so difficult to get it at the moment. The walking no doubt helps, at least.
Oh, last thing: I now have a good BP monitor at home. I'm logging my BP and pulse every morning for a week or two, which I'll do every so often. I don't have high blood pressure or pulse; it's actually on the lower side, as was especially the case when I was younger. These days, on average and at rest, my BP is 107.8/67.5 and pulse 55.8.
Anyway, that's that done.

Had quite the ordeal recently, long story short. Led to an operation and a 6-week recovery. I ended up losing a load of weight. I'm eating better now. I seem to have settled on 15.5st, but I'm hoping to go further down, when I'm fully back to health. Figured I'd log it, for old time's sake.
Also, I moved. I'm somewhere better now, not isolated and, while it's comparatively naff for going out walking (mostly busy roads now), I do wind up regularly walking to get around to where I need to, sometimes a lot in the same day. So, living a healthier lifestyle now.
Oh, and I learned of something called FODMAP, so I've been avoiding dodgy foods that make my guts act up (think IBS) and so far I'm noticing an improvement. If you have gut issues, like me, you should look it up; really interesting and helpful stuff.
For anyone struggling with food, really seriously evaluate your portion sizes. I say this because a large part of why I got so heavy (still am, I know) was due to absurd portion sizes. Thing is, it went on so long that I normalized it. Since I got ill and went to hospital, I physically couldn't eat much, which went on for long enough that I realised all of this.

Well, I've counted calories for bloody ages, so I'm gonna stop now. It gave me a solid perspective that I sorely needed. I'll still weigh in from time to time, and I'm still taking the same approach to food. I'm still going to be looking at and being mindful of what's in the food I eat.
Weight has gone down a little, but not to a number I can easily see. I did get a nice digital scale, but it was trash, well over a stone out. Watch out for crap on Amazon! I have lost a couple more lbs though. 2-4, maybe? Hard to see when you're blind and tall looking down at a tiny needle and little black lines. Lol

As of yesterday, I'm back to my long-ish walks, just like ye olde days.
Last night I went on a 47:47 (MM:SS) long walk, and tonight I did the same walk in 48:22. I walked as fast as I could without overdoing it, so, like last night, it wasn't a casual stroll. I'm confident that this will see the lbs vanish in due course, just like it did in the past.
It's funny, because last night, when I got home from the walk, I weighed myself and had lost 1/8th of a stone! Must have shed a lot of water. Lol
Also, in yesterday's walk, I actually jogged a little bit, three times. I was fair knackered, but at least I gave it a go! It's a tad soon though, to be doing that, and my joints weren't too happy, nor is my back today.
I didn't time myself jogging, sadly. I'd hazard a guess that I jogged for about 10-15 seconds the first time I tried, which is pretty piss-poor compared to my old record of I think 2 minutes or something, but given my current fitness level, it's not too bad. I could push myself to jog for longer, but it would really punish my joints, as I'm simply far too heavy for that.
