Well done.3lbs off this week. I've really worked at the low carb at finding out what works for me and what doesn't so I'm well chuffed with this loss. My blood sugars have been much improved as well which is even better news!

@Freema how are you getting on with vit k2? Feel any improvement?
I'll quizz cardiologist WHEN I see him.
Sorry long time replying but must admit had crossed my mind saw DN last week on 3 monthly review did not have the chance to ask her am still losing weight now 10St 11Lb 2 LB down on last week not sure what's going on. HbA1c is up from 38 to 39 not much change but had expected lower. Have at long last appointment with diabetes team at hospital will enquire about C-Peptide and Gad as never had them done DN did remark on the fact that I have lost 2 St since she last weighed me.John are you worried about your beta cells failing in your pancreas? Ask to be retested. Your c-pepside and GAD. You sounding like a few who end up on insulin. When are you seeing dn next?
I'm very interested on this subject due to the speed of which I've started to suffer with my bones after child no.2 and the aspect of reducing calcium affecting the arteries. Why are they not going straight to the bones? Maybe lack of heavy exercise for me.dear ickihun
I am just taking the vitamin k2 at a daily basis, I haven´t had any bloods done on calicium, but I know some of my bone is gone in my higher spine and I have a mother who I am very much alike and she has had an operation in four of her spinal bones and in her shulder as well... Í´ll just try to prevent getting that bad myself, hope k2 will Work for that taken in advance..
but I think it could be good to take for every diabetics as bone problems seems to be ading in a much higher rate to diabetics , maybe even more if constantly somewhat raised blood glucose..
so well I don´t know if it is working but I´ll keep on taking them along with my "heavy" excercise... and hope the boneloss will be slower then that it might have been.
That is very very possible. Any water retention back?20/1 - Good Morning and Well Done to all those who have lost weight. I have put on 4 lbs since last Friday and weigh in at 13 stone 8 lbs (for 7 weeks remained at 13st 4lbs) - I am just 'shocked' and can only think/blame it on the Forusemide (Diuretic) Tablet being stopped a week ago because of suspected Gout in my left Ankle?

Superb effortsSo early Friday weigh in this morning.
I am now 101.1 kg down 32.9 kg from my 134 kg starting weight in September 2016. Weight loss seems at quite a uniform rate at the moment. I expect to hit a plateau any time. However would be good to get into double figure kgs again.
Well done. Proof positive...3lbs off this week. I've really worked at the low carb at finding out what works for me and what doesn't so I'm well chuffed with this loss. My blood sugars have been much improved as well which is even better news!
fabulous.....one more down now 81 kg.... yeah that is 13 years ago since last time that low...
I like the idea of a tune as we weigh ourselves, each tune could reflect the result... good or sad..Well I weighed myself on a different 7/11 store's scales today. they are electronic but I have my doubts about how accurate they are as they only cost 1 Baht (2p) to use and they play a little tune as they weigh you.
But they gave my weight today as 64.4 kgs (142 lbs).
That is 2 kgs or over 4 lbs down from last Friday. I haven't ever lost that much in a week before. It could be possible as I have only been eating a bowl of pork noodle soup most nights over the last week. But I will continue and hope to have kick started my weight loss again. I won't be able to get an accurate weight till I get home at the beginning of February.

@Liam1955 hello. I wouldn't worry about the weight gain. I think you are right about the diuretic. I take the same one and find a difference in my weight when I don't take them. I was also tested and found to have gout but not taken off them. I think your doctor is very wise. I tend to stop them for a couple of days if my gout flares up. I know this isn't ideal. Don't be disheartened as you have a lot to contend with at present.
It just goes to show how bone size makes a difference. I guess that is why they take our height into consideration. Shame bone development isn't just their length but breath too.I seem to be down to is why 90kilos now this week, so may have lost another couple of kilos, but I have been getting rid of a huge amount of fluid over the last few days...

PS @ickihun - re bones - I can't speak from personal experience but possibly could from a doggy's point of view! I've owned 6 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, 4 of which have been all much of a size, 3 have had what I'd call call "normal" bones for their size and weighed similar amounts around their expected weight, but one - my first - was built like a mini baby elephant with really chunky bones (little legs like tree trunks!) and he weighed around 6-8 kilos more than the others, though he wasn't exactly what I could have called fat - he certainly looked so, but was solid and not at all flabby. But possibly more actual bone size than density though??
