Doctor’s Note
Dr Muhammad Usman, MBBS
15.5 stone is a weight that sits close to the 100 kg mark (98.43 kg), which many patients find to be a significant psychological threshold. In my clinical experience, patients at this weight often feel the impact of their weight on their joints and energy levels. The good news is that at this weight, even a small, sustained weight loss can significantly reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes and improve overall cardiovascular health. It is an excellent time to evaluate long-term habits and seek support if needed.
