Well I told everyone on my education course about this amazing website and this thread. I also argued the case for LCHF and they agreed that my weight loss and hba1c were impressive .....but they hoped I'd eat more carbs from now on! :banghead: Needless to say I'm still low carbing! Got into another size 16 dress today! Still can't get into the size 16 fat face dress but it's hanging there as inspiration!


why do they want you to eat more carbs? I'm hoping one day when all my weight is gone to have the occasional foray into the dark side but surely as a regular thing, it is a big no no for us? At least my GP seems anti-carb.

Had you not eaten? Or eaten enough? Ok as an emergency fix, carbs are fine, but surely packing them away day in day out would just swing you in the opposite direction? I can't wait for my Desmond course- I hope it's not run by the same dietician twit that signed my autistic son off his books with the words. " everyone's a bit autistic when it comes to food." 14 years later he still has the diet of a T2 in the making.

Just a normal day. Don't normally have lunch not normally hungry. Good cooked breakfast as always. Shouldn't have had homemade cake but not going to beat self up too much. Diabetes is weird! Hope your Desmond course is helpful. Take care?

Well done Scandichic.

I had been worried about whether the course leader would get out in one piece today.

I can report an hour intense water work out, with a very good instructor who knows how to get the most work out of us big folks. Moved for the whole hour, even doing some exercises similar to the butt workout Jamrox posted earlier. Easier to move in the water, and I imagine I looked just like the lass in the film.

Erm...I am still here in spirit though am not doing much exercise :( The guy at work I have been covering for for over a week has a manual job as opposed to my sitting-on-ma-bahookie-all-day type job, so I am moving about more than usual I guess.

Keep up the good work everyone! *shakes pompoms*

Yet another 45 minute walk at lunchtime. Cooler than yesterday, but at least it was dry.

OK, I am back to 'normal' now. Done my 30 mins ironing and 30 mins walk. I hope I wake up really early tomorrow so I can start walking mornings again.
