You are never too old. I'm probably taking a couple of bits. A figure hugging dress. And tight trousers and top. It's how I feel on the day as to what I will wear. I will check with dcuk re agenda then we at least know what's what.I've got a really figures hugging dress that I can wear but to tell the truth I feel a bit old to wear it. Just to let you know I will require two tickets. Before and after pictures will be ready this week-end.
2 tickets coming your way. No rush re pics.I've got a really figures hugging dress that I can wear but to tell the truth I feel a bit old to wear it. Just to let you know I will require two tickets. Before and after pictures will be ready this week-end.
I know the big clothes thing will make a good photo, and I’m really impressed by the achievements of so many here who’ve lost staggering amounts of weight, but I’d just like to reiterate what one or 2 others have said - about this not being just another weight loss programme. It’s so much more than that!
I love the lchf woe but haven’t been using it to lose weight ( I’d already lost a couple of excess stone due to illness) I eat tons but most important ( for me anyway) is the reduction in HbA1C from 66 last Sept to my current MySugr estimate of 34.0 It’s something I didn’t think was possible ( and my GP told me as much).
I’m just a teensy bit concerned that this most important aspect will be overshadowed by the before and after weight loss aspect - the same as you see at Weight Watchers type meetings where there is a life size carboard model of the Leader before she slimmed down.
Is there room for sucess stories which don’t include a massive weight loss?

Brilliant thanks. I'm just hanging fire on advertising until venue booked and they let me know how many we can invite. Any minute now I'm expecting confirmation.There are probably a few diabetes support groups on facebook (I'm a member of two and am happy to post details of the event once a time and venue have been sorted) whose members would be interested. If you choose more general groups, rather than ones specifically for low carbers it should attract some who aren't yet converted!
Me too!!! So proud. Dr and nurse were very very impressed todayOh don’t worry, I for one want my HbA1c readings in lights! Red, orange and green, green, green and green, like my signature!
Hi
I was diagnosed on the 18 January this year. I had a HbA1C of 103. I joined this forum and read that LCHF could help to put diabetes into remission. I immediately went LCHF, alongside intermittent fasting (16:8). In April my HbA1C was 51 and I’d lost around 4 stone. This week, my latest HbA1C is 41 and weight loss is 7 stone. I still have a couple of stone to lose and hope my HbA1C will drop further. This is all down to this forum, without whom, I’d never hav known that it’s possible to put Type 2 diabetes into remission.
I love Michael O'Leary, he has saved me a fortune (my family are from Dublin) the strike won't last
Hi @lessci thanks for your reply. Great that you would love to join us. Unfortunately I've had to pop your name on a waiting list for the time being and won't be able to confirm until DCUK let us know the max we can invite. I will let you know as soon as possible. It's great isn't it the prospect of a get together. I will be in touch asap. I hope you had a wonderful holiday.Hi @Debandez You've planned all this while I've been on holiday, if you've any spaces left can I have a ticket please.
Thanks
