PARTY TIME!!!

Just rung the surgery for my blood results.

Lipids all improved, again!
A1c coming down

HbA1c 43 (6.1%) down from 45 (6.3%) in September
Total cholesterol 5.5 (Sept was 5.3)
HDL 2.2 (Sept was 1.8)
LDL 3.0 (Sept was 3.2)
Trigs 0.58 (Sept was 0.6)
TC/HDL ratio 2.5 (Sept was 2.94)
Trigs/HDL ratio 0.19 (Sept was 0.33)

I am delighted, especially the lipids considering the amount of cheese have been eating to stop losing weight.
THANK YOU all for your friendship and support. I couldn't have done it without you.
 
Thank you but it's you who have done the hard work. So pleased for you

Hi,
Mine stuck for about a week and went up a lb or 2, cut down on the Red Wine a little, lost 2 then followed with another 1 the following day.

I'm sure yours will start to move again.

Thanks @Rose28. I'll look into it. I DO like ginger, bought some ginger root (instead of crystalised)last week to use in baking but only got the flours today - soya & quinoa - didn't think the taste would go wth coconut one

I LOVE ginger and have it daily. I add root ginger it into every green smoothie and green juice, add loads when making a curry, have you tried making ginger tea? IMHO ginger goes well with coconut too!

Happy Baking Let me know how you get on with it?
 

That's excellent Bluetit. I'm so pleased for you x
 




Well done!

Thanks Neil, hope so. Think is wth trying to lower carbs am having higher fat snacks and possibly carbs not low enuf in comparison
 
I do have ginger tea in but not used for a while as I used to sweeten wth honey. Don't like sweeteners - they leave an aftertaste :-(.

I will let you know about the baking. Mayb ginger will go wth honey Erm coconut I meant to say ;-)

Or you could say "How to be naughty and still get off Scott free" its a very attractive proposal especially for those of us with a diminishing spectrum of naughtiness possibilities.
 
Thanks jan, I resisted the toast, had one of tHose rehydration drinks in stead and watched some mindless tv. I ended up going to bed around 2.30pm and woke up at 6pm with a fasting bs of 5.6 wow lol. Lowest its been in months. I hope you managed to get some rest too.
 
Daddys1,

Congrats on weight loss and indeed BG levels.

We are of a similar age on a similar journey, my weight on diagnosis 15st,weight as of this morning 11st 13lbs.

Thought I would mention that certainly for me initial weight loss was roughly 2 lbs per week for the 1st 5 months on a 1200 cal LCHF way of eating. In early November weight loss stopped still same cals & LCHF but actually put on a few pounds.

Persevered and now it's going down again but at a slower rate of 1lb per week.

I think thinks it's just my bodies reaction to what it saw as starvation, I certainly have hardly once felt hungry on LCHF.

Perhaps you will continue @ 2lbs per week but thought I would let you know that it might slow.

Once again congrats and keep to it.

All the very best.
