Fallen off the wagon

Thanks TW for feedback
wonder if, my chol reading of 3.2 was because i was taking Simvastatin
i chose not to take it 2 weeks before my last chol reading of 4.9
and dont want to, or intend to take it at all

Aic CHOL HDL LDL TRIGS

MAY 6.9 6.2 1.78 1.08 1.03
JULY/AUG 6.4 3.2 1.91 0.8 0 .9
DEC 5.7 4.9 1.99 2.5 0.9

i dont know if these are good are not , i think maybe, some are ok,
would someone comment on them please

A1c and HDL are spectacular, trigs very good, ratio is amazing. Your LDL is up a bit but considering the other numbers it's unlikely to be dangerous.

Many nondiabetics would die for numbers like that, er well you know what I mean

I am so happy I am not the only one, but i fell off the said wagon in spectacular fashion! Feel shocking , not one day in the break below 13 and usually waking up at 17/18.... :oops: why the hell did i do that to myself? I suppose almost having a nervous breakdown didn't help, but hey ho..onwards and upwards from here. Made myself ill, bloated, and now thrush..sorry for tmi :oops:
So glad its over with now and I want to put myself back in control again for good

Off subject..I watched the Biggest loser last night, some of these people lost an average stone in a week!! ***!! Mind you they had a lot to lose but I thought, wow If i exercised for four hours a day (like that is going to happen) I wonder how much is possible
 
Don't worry everybody, me too and am also suffering, feel like I have a permanent hang over, sick, dizzy etc

Were those full fat coca colas and cadburys roses worth it ???

Well I thought so at the time !

Put it this way, with simvastatin my last LDLs were 2.4, 2.7 and back to 2.4 again, but my GP has obviously read some of the same stuff as many of us as she was quite unconcerned seeing as my trigs and HDL were excellent. Not as good as yours though!

I intend to drop my statin for a month prior to my next lipids to see what actually occurs. Unlike you I may well have to continue it though.

Some research indicates a J curve with LDL where too low gives different problems from too high, it is the substrate for manufacture of various hormones etc.

OK I was really really good over Christmas and New Year but I slipped today, mother found the Christmas pud we didn't have earlier and I had a slice drowned in brandy and just hit 6.6

off for a lie down
 
I fell off the wagon too - Can you imagine workin in primary school how many boxes of different chocolates i was bought by parents/children! ohhhh but the truffles ones were lush! yum yum!

hehe i wasn't too naughty really gave away most and kept the truffles :lol:

Am back on the wagon as of yesterday but finding it harder to get motivated back to the exercise bike - they are soooo boring!! but okay tomorrow i will go back as i was doing extremely well with low carbing and 2stone weight loss in 3 months.

Happy new year everyone.

Well done Carol on your fantastic weight loss! I'm glad to say I only put on 3lb over the festive period and I'm expecting good news when I'm weighed by my practice nurse tomorrow :D Good luck getting back on the wagon!
 
I also fell off the wagon mega over xmas and new year. Didn't buy as much tempting foods this year as previously but was still too much. Got just a little left so made a resolution that when this is all gone it's back on the wagon for me. Maybe even cutting back more on carbs and amount I eat. Was good last night rice with 3 mini duck spring rolls and some, not much, cheese sauce ( I hate rice without a sauce/curry). :evil: :(

i sympathise, I could probably have got away with the Christmas pud with a yomp round the block but it was minus five at the time

You're doing spectacularly well on the long term so don't sweat it (but watch out for your birthday!)
 
Wish I was as good as you are with the exercise bike. I just walk more. Not in this freezing cold weather though. Love to wander during summer months though as you can find some lovely little places worth exploring.
 
Did I fall or was I pushed? Off the wagon ... that is?

Nope I leapt like a flying squirrel into a VAT of wine ... surfing from roast potato to Toberline island and indulged fully in a week long self-loathing-style binge ...

Have added 5 lbs *oooops* I wasn;t going to admit that, but honesty got the better of me ... shallI edit the ticker? Hell no, I'll just work my bum off til I get those 5 evil lbs back off!

Back on the low carb wagon, fixed the wheels and braced the mainsail (and mixed my metaphors terribly whilst I was doing it!) ...

Happy New Year ... no ir probably wasn't worth it, but boy, it was fun ...

Back to mashed cauliflower tomorrow :)

Best, JEm xoxoxoxoxoxoxox
 
Hi
Me to, binged all over christmas eating every think you really don't want to be eating and to make it worse gaining 2 kg in weight. What was i thinking and i don't no about you but since i detoxed and when back to healthy eating this week, i feel great even thought mananged blood sugars while pigging self i still felt ill and not happy. It proves that healthy eating is good for you mentally and physically. I sure i want remeber that next time i fall of the wagon, you never do.

Welcome to the forum ,Anaderson.Yes we all have the occasional 'slip' makes life more tolerable.Got to the stage now that I'm not craving sweet things but still there's always something tempting ...like crisps ,for instance!!!
 
Subject: [Fwd: FW: 'twas the month after Christmas.........]



Twas the month after Christmas,
and all through the house,
Nothing would fit me,
not even a blouse.

The cookies I'd nibbled,
the chocolate I'd taste
At the holiday parties
had gone to my waist.

When I got on the scales
there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store
(less a walk than a lumber),

I'd remember the marvellous meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."

As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt...
I said to myself, as I only can,
"You can't spend a winter, disguised as a man!"

So, away with the last of the sour cream dip.
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip.
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
Till all the additional ounces have vanished.

I won't have a cookie, not even a lick.
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie.
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.

I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore...
But isn't that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all, and to all a good diet.
 
except that sour cream dip is on my list of "eat everyday" nutrients ;) hahaha liked it!

I am so glad that I clicked on this forum today it has made me feel so much better! I too have been unable to resist temptation and was supposed to have blood tests last week but have been putting it off because I am scared of what my Doctor will say about the results!! Having now realised that I am not the only one who throws caution to the wind I am more confident to go for the blood tests and have peice of mind that he might be expecting an increase in my BG. At least I can defend myself now by telling him about this forum. I really feel like there has been a weight lifted off my shoulders thank you so much!
