And another one!

Chin up Scandi. I was a pound down this morning, but it will probably be back tomorrow Down, up, stay the same, down again...my weight is up and down like a dog's leg, but is it travelling in the right direction overall. This is what matters

Got up this morning and had put 2lbs on but at 6pm was a pound less so am now 13.5 not 13.4

I know if I weighed myself more than once a week at the same time my weight would be up and down. I never weigh myself more than once a day - it's all psychological
 
Honestly, Scandi, my scales can show up to 4lb difference up or down between one day and the next. I have to take an average. All I know is that they are going down.

I stopped stepping on the scales at all for a couple of years, and managed to slowly lose weight. At the moment I am being a bit obsessive about getting on them. I should go back to weighing weekly or fortnightly.

I'd love to suddenly lose loads, but 1lb a week is fine. Eventually I will lose 8.5 stone - in 2 and a bit years. LOL

You've done brillianlty with your weight loss. It's great to see it can be done.
 
Thank you all! I have eaten my 2 sausages and poached egg, 2 small handfuls of nuts , 2 baby bels, a piece of salmon and a yummy salad. I have also walked to Lidl at double time which is an hour round trip. Have got results of hba1c tomorrow and they won't be good - 2 colds and a chest infection plus cholestrol reading and discussion about weight so am feeling on edge! Actually got nice doc but feel I've got something to prove. Especially as I haven't taken my statins for 3 months! Wish me luck!
 
Good luck. I'll be very interested in your view on life without statins. I'm still taking mine.

It was the impact on my short term memory. I kept forgetting close friends names! I started thinking I was going senile. Memory a lot better without them!

Really? That's interesting. For the last few years I've been losing words. I get as far as the first letter and then get stuck. They come eventually, but it can take a while. Not so good when you're trying to write a novel. I never thought it could be to do with any medication.
 

that happens to me too but I am not on statins. maybe it is an age thing
 
I had the losing words thing too. This has got a lot better since stopped taking them.
 
I had the losing words thing too, when I was first diagnosed type 2 and for a couple of years before that too. I used to make up words for things I couldn't say, family got mad at me, but I just couldn't remember the words. I hadn't realised that I was fine and don't do it now...until I read these posts. I have never taken statins.
 
Ah, so there's hope for me? Did it go as you got control of BS levels or with losing weight or just went?
 

that still doesn't make me feel any better!!
