@SlimLizzy my fbs for the last three or so weeks have ranged from 7.2 to 5,9..but almost always return to mid fives by pre evening meal..so for me it is what it is....
@DJC3 hope you enjoy!..such a relief....i had reinvented split ends again which were a big thing on the telly adverts back in the day...
rats tails also would have been a good description!

I used to post a while back when my weight had gone down to 95 kilos and apparently stuck there - I joked that my scales would only give me that one weight, though it would be a couple of kilos higher when checked at surgery. I haven't weighed myself for ages and thought I had put on some weight again, but when I had my diabetic review recently I was slightly gobsmacked to discover that their scales told me I was still 97 kilos. o_O It made my rather weighty day though...:):)

Hi I'm new to the forum, I'm type 2 and haven't really done much to control my diabetes apart from the medication until May after visiting the DR during covid and learnt how I'm at risk. On 26/05/20 weighed myself the scales said 12st 12lbs I'm on 4ft 10 so I'm obese, 27/05/20 started healthy eating. I weigh myself every thursday weight as of 13/8/20 10st 13lbs. I'm trying to learn how to control and manage my diabetes. So on a learning journey.

going the right way, now the lightest in over 2 decades and gone from XXL to L and I’ve got my entire wardrobe bagged in the garage ready to go to a charity shop. Trying not to replace much till I get a bit further on

this forum has helped so much

55.8kg the 30 hr fasts are helping weight as well as BG control. Can’t say I’m enjoying it much though and I’ll be glad when the week’s over.
@Poppyseeds welcome and what a great start! 2stone in less than 3 months is really good going. It will make controlling your diabetes so much easier.

Great start Poppyseeds. Stick around here, there are lots of people who have walked the path you are currently on, so lots of tips and tricks available to you.

Hi Poppyseeds, I like to think of myself as an ambitious 5'0 and as nobody ever bothers to measure my height I can get away with it. I was around same weight as you at 80 kilos when I was first diagnosed about a year and a half ago . I am currently 56kilos. I was 55kilos around Christmas time and seemed to reach a plateau which was ok by me as I am not particularly small boned. Then there was lockdown and I put on 2 kilos. I am now 56 kilos so have lost a kilo in the last couple of weeks, hoping to continue the downward trend. Good luck to you and your journey. .

The term “new normal “
No change at all. Going crazy hard with weight training, hope I’m swapping fat for muscle.
