Hey, zandThanks peacetrain, it's so nice to have people who understand me, not just about diabetes but all the things associated with it too.
I like the 'Zand snack', do you think it could make the dictionary one day?I see some 4.7s and 4.8s during the week. Usually when I'm ready for my evening meal. My personal experience is that around 5 or below I feel a bit woozy. I know others cope fine at that level but I don't seem to. I had it a lot when I was taking metformin but now I feel better. I've just had a Zand snack and also just under 2g carbsworth of 85% chocolate. It will be interesting to see what my reading is in the morning. Not ready for bed yet.

Never got around to Katrina & The Waves today.....did find 3 Snow Patrol CD's though.So when you've done that listen and bop around to Katrina & The Waves' "Walking on Sunshine".
(says he having listened to The Smiths' four albums back to back yesterday ...)
thanks Mazzer, Yes it would be a shame to give up, I am shocked that I want to, but I won't give up. Thanks for the kind words. My hubby prefers me slimmer too, I am surprised he has noticed.Hi Zand, don't beat yourself up about the loose skin, I lost weight so quickly my skin couldn't keep up so I am a bit wrinkly in places, buy hey ho I can cover that up and nobody sees it (only my Hubby who prefers the new slimmer me despite the wrinkles lol.) After a while your skin will tighten up again with a bit of toning in the right areas. You have done so well it would be a such a shame to give up now, and you will feel so much better in the long term.
Keep at Zand you are doing great.

Oh, no that's horrid. My husband usually puts on weight on holiday, although he is slim anyway and loses it easily when he gets home (probably due to the fact that my cooking is awful). Did you fly? Maybe some of your weight is water retention? Do you drink enough? I'm asking this because I don't and I have to be really strict with myself to make sure I drink water at all. I'm sure yours will come back off quickly now you are home and putting your mind to it again, although it doesn't seem like you were really 'off-diet' on holiday, so weight can be a bit unfair sometimes can't it?I have lost 4 1/2 stone since October just been on holiday all inclusive I tried to be sensible at meal times eating salads with a bit meat and fresh fruit for dessert just weighed myself I have put 10lbs on I'm gutted but back on the diet hoping I can get the 10lb off pretty quick if I'm extra strict with myself

Oh, dear. Rotten thing to face after a good hol. You have to look at the bigger picture though, 4 1/2 stones since October is amazing, and you will no doubt lose the 10lbs soon too.I have lost 4 1/2 stone since October just been on holiday all inclusive I tried to be sensible at meal times eating salads with a bit meat and fresh fruit for dessert just weighed myself I have put 10lbs on I'm gutted but back on the diet hoping I can get the 10lb off pretty quick if I'm extra strict with myself

This week I have lost 4lbs making a total of 28lbs in 11 weeks.
I also got 2 certificates, one for losing 2 stones and the other for losing 10% of my bodyweight - now that's the one I wanted.
Now I think I'm going to bed because I'm not feeling too well.
Well done, zand.This week I have lost 4lbs making a total of 28lbs in 11 weeks.

Always good to moisturise from the inside too. Drink lots of water.I know it's stating the obvious, but that equates to 2.5lb a week. Bearing in mind you usually struggle to lose, plus you had a great, relaxed holiday in the middle, I'd call that quite a result!!
Just moisturise, moisturise, moisturise that skin and it'll have the best chance of shrinking its maximum amount.
Onwards, and downwards?
