Cheers, I hope so :D

Thank you :)

I’ve been to the docs today..... ....and.... ....for the second time, I’ve kicked diabetes into touch. My cholesterol is down to a normal range too :) The doctor was more chuffed than me and she said, ‘I looked at your results before you came in and I was shocked....but shocked in a good way’...

Good news to report. 16 weeks in and as of today's weigh-in I'm exactly 3 stones lighter and have now broken into the sixteens at 16st 13lbs 4ozs. I'm now half way to my lower target of a 6 stone loss (ideally I want to lose 7 stones by Christmas). I really feel like I'm getting somewhere now...

Thanks guys, good to read of other success stories! I’ve been keeping my head down, behaving myself and starting to reap the rewards. I’m now 2st 8lbs off and weighing in at 17st 4lbs. My ‘Target Weight’ app tells me I’m now ‘obese’.....rather than ‘severely obese’ and I’m able to select...

Cheers! They’re Kronenbourg socks :D Ironically, not something I can really drink doing low carb!

Good luck with that. I’m sure you’ll crack it, LCHF is definitely the way forward in our position. As for exercise, the poor dog (a nasally challenged pug) doesn’t know what’s hit her. With the onset of good weather she’s getting a (very) long walk everyday. :D

Hello again! I finally hit my first proper (mental) milestone today. I’ve now lost 2st 1lb AND got into the seventeens. I took a photo for posterity but please ignore my weekend socks :D ‘Only’ another 4 stones to lose! I also went to the doctors yesterday and have the paperwork to get my...

Hello again folks and thanks for your kind words and introductions :) I thought I'd saunter back and give y'all an update and it's both good & bad news. I was out for a meal & drinks to celebrate my birthday last Saturday. As such I was expecting to maintain (at best) on this week's weigh in...

Noted but I personally need the odd treat and this sort of bar whilst not ideal, stops me reaching for ‘proper’ chocolate. I did fall off the wagon but this was more to do with a personal battle with anxiety & depression rather than an outright fail in my diet. In short, whilst suffering from...

I aim to keep under 50 :)

I'm back on my low carb diet journey and just thought I'd share my discovery of these bars: https://fulfilnutrition.com/our-range/ I've found them to be a much cheaper and lower carb option than Carb Killa (which I do also like, particularly the 'Birthday Cake' flavour!). The 'Cookies & Cream'...

Just to set out my plans. My objectives are two fold: 1) To get my blood sugar readings back in the 'normal' range by my next test in June and 2) Lose at least 4 stones in the process. My longer term goal is to shift 7 stones by the close of the year. (I managed to lose 6 stones in 8 months in...

Hello darkness my old friend. It's been 2 years since I was first diagnosed as diabetic so I thought it was time for an update....and it's not good news. As a recap; in my efforts to beat diabetes I lost 6 stones following a low carb diet and after diagnosis consistently posted blood sugar...

Emily, I totally missed this post, I am so sorry :( I'd love to chat if you're still interested? Mail me on [email protected] if you like, I definitely won't miss an email! Anyhoo, time for an update. Been a while hasn't it? I've been quietly doing my thing and waiting patiently for the date...
