Deb I agree with the shaking up your diet to carry on losing weight but maybe a short shake up would be better than longer term? Every so often I up the fat in my diet, not necessarily consciously, and find that my weight drops that week instead of the usual plateau. Last week I lost 3 lbs and...

8 stone 12 could be the maximum weight. I have this aim to be under 8 stone as I was before I got married. My jeans were dirty on Friday so I put on an old pair - I knew they were big round the waist but not THAT big!

I was just thinking yeaterday that I hadn't 'seen' you for a whhile. Good to see you back and so pleased the business is going well:)

I am 4ft 11 too and I started off at 9 stone 12. I was so in denial before and never weighed myself. I was still a size 10/12 so never thought I was overweight (denial again!!) I am now 7 stone 11. I won't tell hubby that 8 stone 12 is the optinum weight - he already thinks I am losing too...

I was diagnosed with prediabetes this time last year (it should have been August but they told me my blood test was fine and to come back in 3 months time...). I joined this thread and have had so much help,and siupport. I eat low/moderate carb and moderate fat as I find my bg levels are OK...

I have an appointment to have mine on Tuesday. Last week end I had a cold and ached all over...that was bad enough I don't want the real thing.

@mo53 did you try the coconut oil? my efforts have been a bit hit and miss. Last Saturday my weight was the same as it had been the week before. Last week I had the coconut oil a bit more often but still forgot every day. Today I weighed myself and have lost 3 llbs:) Since I started LCHF...

I have a big bag of spinach and fancy using it to make green smoothies. I am not sure what to put in apart from spinach (and peanut butter as I love peanut butter!). Does anyone have any good recipes?

I had a day off yesterday too. I had an osteopath apointment first thing in the morning so hubby took the dog out as he wasn't working till the afternoon. Back to dog walking today though...

@pavlosn our first landlady when we moved to Durham lived in Nicosia and I think she worked at the English school (maybe headmistress?). This was in 1990. Not the most pleasant landlady!

I have suffered from reflux for years. Since eating low carb moderate fat it has got a lot better...but I have found yoghurt makes it worse and my breathing is affected. All other dairy seems to be OK. I was taking omeprazole but have stopped that and so far so good. Hope you get it sorted...

@Brunneria I stocked up on peanut 9 bars today. Wow they are so good. Quite sweet though as I haven't eaten anything like that for ages and filling so won't overeat!. Couldn't test today but will try to tomorrow. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I might have to make a special trip tomorrow, there might not be any left on Monday!

@Brunneria tesco have the pack of 4 peanut 9 bar half price - 99p. it only seems to be the peanut ones and ends on 21 October. I hope they have some left when I go on Monday
