Fabulous news zand. You must be utterly delighted.

Of course, it shows weight loss, like blood control isn't absolute science, nor does it produce straight line results. But you knew this already.

Oh boy. Does this diabetes mess with out minds!!
 
Well done for your weight loss Zand. I'm jealous as I haven't lost anything in my week of low carbing.

I am woman with a dog who talks to anyone and everyone - If you meet me out and about just slip 'Zand' into any reply to my inane banter and I'll know to back off - ;)
RosieLKH, the way things are shaping up right now, I'm fast becoming a woman without a dog who talks to anyone and everyone, it's more likely you would want to get away from my inane banter. It's just a bit unnerving at the moment but I'm sure I will get used to it. The lady I talked to this morning is really lovely and goes walking at that time of day in the winter too, I was getting worried that I wouldn't be able to walk much in the winter, but maybe all I need is a torch and someone to walk with!

Yes too right, I am delighted! I have a slight worry that maybe their scales weren't right! (Mine said I had only lost 2.5 lbs!) Does diabetes really mess with our minds? Is that why I can't find the swimsuit I was going to return today?????? Do I have an excuse (sorry, reason) for that too?
 
On your less hard core walks, could you carry something in each hand? I'm not talking shopping or anything extreme, but,a can of beans or something, ideally a defined weight that won't give you tennis elbow or RSI as you hold it for a period.

Just a thought.
I have been talking to a friend (!) about this idea and she reminded me to wait until my neck is fully healed before trying it. I have remembered that my son has some wrist/ankle weights which I could borrow if I needed to. So one day, in the not too distant future........
 
So pleased for you Zand with the weight loss this week it sounds like it has really given you a boost or maybe it was all that ironing which helped ! Well done I can see you disappearing before my eyes !

thanks Connie, you have just reminded me of something my husband said a few years ago when I had lost around a stone. One of our sons hugged me and said "you've lost weight, where have you gone?" My husband said "there's still plenty of her left" I was not pleased at all, but now I'm saying it....I'm still quite easy to see!
 
Hi Zand, you know that children are cruel. Every one of us has been told "Im not playing with you any more " please don't let that take over your life

That incident didn't really bother me Jamrox, it was simply the first of many. I only mentioned it to show that I felt more comfortable with the rest of my friends who just happened to be boys. That girl and I became good friends again until we went to different secondary schools. My teenage years weren't good, but then I suppose that's true for most people. As I got older the incidents got worse, the one which really mattered, which culminated in all those tears, happened whilst I was depressed after my parents had died, so I was 38-41 when I was so badly hurt by a whole group of women , and yes the whole 'episode' took about three years to unfold. It was then that I told myself it was time to wise up and get out of all of that. So I kept myself to myself from then on......until now.

Give the woman a chance. You never know she may be feeling just the same as you and you will be safer with another woman and a dog x

I intend to Jamrox, that's what's freaking me out. She does seem really nice and genuine, I just can't believe that I approached her and asked to walk with her, I don't know how all this is happening to me, but I am just going with the flow and seeing where it takes me.
 
we are real, i smell too much to not be real :stinkyfeet:
lol. So if it's true and you're all real, and I am OK with interacting with you all, then I can do that in the real world too? - 'cos I already am 'cos this is real too?
 
I knew what you meant zand.We are all faceless beings and you can ignore the posts if you want ( we ve all done that ). It's funny because we all have "real " lives away from this forum but I have to say that no one in my "real " life has helped me with my diabetes better than the "cyber" people on here. Thankyou

and for me it goes even further, because the "cyber" people are giving me the courage to go back into the real world again. Thankyou
