I don't know if this appeals to either of you but I use a lot of the ready made lurpack garlic butter. As I am cooking, I cut a sliver off and eat it. It sounds weird but it tastes yummy! Anyway got to go as back to work todayI find 2 or 3 small new potatoes are fine, but I do put butter on them. They wouldn't be the same without, and the butter helps with the potential spike. Similarly, we cook our roasts in duck fat, so that helps with the couple of roasties I have on a Sunday, and the chips I have are homemade and deep fried twice in rapeseed oil, so probably better for BS than oven baked, and I only have 6 or 7. (at the moment!)
I am on between 60 and 65g of carbs and really want to keep to that level until I am totally satisfied with my BS levels. It's my HbA1c this week and I'm getting nervous!
Would be ecstatic to be 11st 10! Am fluctuating between 12 St 6-7Ideal weight?
Rhetorical question really, what is ideal weight.
At 5ft 10" I was 15 Stone on diagnosis with T2, early June decided to go down LCHF path, since then have dropped 3 stone basically on 1200cals per day a little extra exercise and two weeks ago weighed in at 11St 10lbs, still on LCHF, still a little more exercise but now 11St 12lbs, had decided 11 and half stone was my goal weight but my body had decided otherwise. Don't really want to go below 1200cals per day since I find this is easily doable. By they way all home testing of BG is within non diabetic ranges, apart from the very very odd slip, say 3 times since June when I have had a single daily reading of approaching 9.
Problem I have is I have set a goal and being a pedantic B, don't like it when it doesn't happen to my schedule, but all being well I will get there, once there can re-evaluate and decide what to do next. Onward and downward or static in my case lol.Would be ecstatic to be 11st 10! Am fluctuating between 12 St 6-7
Perhaps I should have said target weight. I started this thread because I know many people are struggling To maintain and NOT lose more. I have 9lb to lose before I can say I'm no longer overweight but I'm conscious of the fact that I need to be thinking of stabilising now. I'm losing weight from the wrong places! I want it to go from my midrif. Up to my 30s I was a pear shape but now I'm an apple. Ha ha never satisfied! I know I have a great deal to be thankful for though. ;-)Ideal weight?

I want it to go from my tummy, thighs and arms. All 2 St 6 of it! Still! At least I only look 5 months preggers from the side now! Guess it's all relative!Perhaps I should have said target weight.

I used to look as though I was having twins one in my tummy and one in my bottom!!! It's gone from my hips, arms ... Well it's gone from everywhere but less so round the waist area which is where we need to lose it from. I feel bad moaning about that. Part of me is pleased that I can now where more or less what I want but part of me can't get used to it and I feel guilty knowing my daughter is struggling with her weight. I understand what she's going through though. I try not to talk about my weight loss because I find I'm s bit self conscious about it.I want it to go from my tummy, thighs and arms. All 2 St 6 of it!
