Unless you’ve had carbs treats every day I bet it won’t stick and will be off next week!

Thank you. And the rice, I suppose was a mixture of curiosity if response had changed that much and an excuse to eat something I’d missed. A definite one off (or 6 monthly progress test)!

Just a quick update, I know I appreciated these types of messages when I started out. I decided I’d get a libre 2 every 6 months to see my progress. I’m low carb and have lost 24 pounds since July. I’m now steady in the 5s pretty much all the time unless I have anything with carbs and the...

2 pounds down back to pre Christmas 12.11

Gah same as last week which means the Christmas 2lbs has stuck boooo! I suppose with a bad thyroid week it’s to be expected. Hey ho, back to it at least it isn’t an increase... On a positive note bought new clothes as Christmas presents a size lower as old ones are hanging off me now!

Aw thank you Coby - your posts always make me smile! You HAVE got this <3

Happy new year everyone. Yeah I decided only way low carb is going to be sustainable is if I don’t feel like I’m on a diet and hard done by. Soooo, I had a full Christmas dinner, trifle and and a glass of Prosecco. A few months ago that would have floored me with feeling sick and blurred vision...

I’m sorry for your loss @Lamont D. I know this time of year is bittersweet for a lot of people but especially so with such a recent loss and ridiculous red tape.

Happy new year peeps. Couple of pounds up, hoping it won’t stick as I’ve definitely not eaten enough to have gained 2 pounds. Back on the horse!

Hi @DJS05 welcome to the forums. At the start of my journey I was really concerned about the dawn phenomenon- I could see my levels were pretty good the rest of the time but had hours of raised levels in the morning. So I can totally understand why someone would consider metformin to reduce the...

Yeah I’m not weighing myself over Christmas so here goes early weigh in! One pound down now 12.11 continuing the one pound every 3 weeks like clockwork :) @SlimLizzy @ickihun I hope you’re ok. Thank you to all you virtual strangers, you really do help feel not so alone in the journey. Merry...

Thank you! It’s made my week, not gonna lie.

No change again this week. However, I taught an annual scheduled lesson about cvd and a part of it is demonstrating how to measure waist: hip. Teenage girls never want to do it so I always use myself as an example. Upshot is I measured my waist for the first time since last year and I’ve lost 8...

I hope it doesn’t last too long for you. Virtual hugs and sympathy being sent your way

Yes makes sense if there’s less cells that need energy! Thanks @Andydragon.

No change at 12:12, happy to be holding! Realised I’ve lost more than 10% of my body weight now, so slow is fine (gritted teeth) for the last stone.

My go to low carb snacks when I first started: Pepperami 10 almonds Clotted cream and small handful of frozen berries Smoked sausage Guacamole with celery Cheese eg handy baby bels Smoked peppered mackerel (pre packed) Like others have said after a while (maybe a long while mind) you stop being...

One pound down to 12 stone 12 pounds. Slow going but going, maybe a pound every two or three weeks? Body what are you doing there’s another stone to go... After shopping I have now two pair of work trousers that fit!

The same this week, but happy at holding under 13 stone
