It will be a journey of discovery to find out what my personal fat threshold might be. I am fasting for 16 hours twice a week then doing a gentle re-carb with some 'good' carbs .... a journey of learning about my blood sugars and how they react to different foods, rather than the 'magical mystery tour' I have been on for a few weeks!My task from now would seem to be to get a couple more kilo's off (down to BMI 21 ish ... means I have some leeway to shed more if needed for better control), but mainly to get 'leaner' in my top half .... running, which I have done for 5 years helps the legs etc. I am doing resistance exercises (a stretchy cord), light arm weights, doing sit ups etc. We have booked to go on holiday a second time later in the year ... alone for the first time in 6 years .... anyone else have their grown up children hanging on? I suppose we should be happy they think it is cool to be with mum and dad! My daughters think I am a cool dresser now .... old clothes in the charity shop and my new clothes (with many designer labels) ALL from charity shops. New prescription sunglasses for £20 from an online shop .... life seems great .... until I think of a close friend with terminal cancer.best wishesAndy</blockquote>
