Well, my low-carb journey continues. Lots of positive comments about my ever shrinking frame, but I hid a dirty secret.
One week saw me loose 8lbs. Very unusual, so far it's been a steady 3lbs a week and I was surprised. Then nothing, nada, nix for 4 weeks. Not an ounce lost. I was sure nothing had changed and was bemused as to how I can remain 16st 4lbs on the diet I was (am) on. A serious think later and I realised peanuts had appeared in my life. I had also been a bit lax in the regularity of my one-a-day metformin habit.
So, the peanuts went and the metformin was placed under control and hey presto, 5 days later, I've just crashed through the 16st barrier down to 15st 13lbs. (doin' a dance!).
Through all of this, my BS were stable in the 5's even with the peanut consumption.

So tonight, as a celebration, I had the biggest lump of steak I could find. As a dear friend once said,

"a good vet would get that up and running again"

wiflib, you are such a star!
Remember not to stand sideyways at the zebra crossing before long otherwise the oncoming traffic won't see you.

All the best,

Ah Fergus, you know how to flatter a gal. Thank you. Seems you're a bit of a stunna too, but I think that is true of all us with a severe lack of carbs cursing through our veins. I've got some way to go yet, but BM's in the 5's? Magic.
