Down 0.7 lbs this week. Quite surprised, but I'll take it.

The OP is type 2, I believe.

Up again. This week +0.8 lbs. Less activity this week, plus more wine and beer. Must do better.

Best wishes for a good recovery. :)

For lunch today I had couple of wholemeal rolls with red salmon. I know, but my blood sugar only went up to 6.8 two hours later. For dinner I had a chunky cod fillet (which was very nice) with mushy peas and mushrooms. I wasn't all that hungry but I enjoyed it.

That omelette looks amazing, @Rachox!

Thanks Peter. I think my next test will be a bit higher as I'm eating a few more carbs. I too was given metformin at the start, but only took them for a few weeks as I didn't like the side-effects. I stopped all sugar, bread, potatoes, pasta and rice at first, which was great for weight loss...

Like you I was nearly 20 stone and am now 13 stone. I still need to lose another stone, but am not too far away. The main positive I got was joining this forum and getting informed, honest and supportive advice from the members here.

That lamb shank looks gorgeous! I plan on having one this weekend. I hope mine is as good as yours looks.

Today I had a fishy day. For lunch I had chilli and garlic tuna in a couple of high protein rolls. And for tea I had a breaded cod fillet, with carrots, green beans and a tomato. I prefer haddock, but I used up the last of the cod.

Today's lunch was a sirloin steak, served with runner beans, green beans, carrots and a medium sautéed potato.

Today for lunch I had a couple of high protein rolls (36g carbs) with ham (and mustard!) and boiled eggs. For tea I had a chicken fillet in tempura batter (10g carbs) with mushrooms, stringless beans and carrots. (I hope @Rachox approves of the colours this time... ;))

A pack of three (not all at once, though). They were very nice too.

Up 0.5 lbs this week. I've had a few Magnums this week, plus I've been eating when not really hungry. I've been eating according to the clock, rather than listening to my appetite.

That crackling looks cracking!
