Weekly weigh in - Fridays


I'm losing weight slowly! I'm using belts in my jeans at mo! Pulling tighter every week!!
I just bought some teenagers bracers!! They help hold up looser skirts/trousers!! Not worn bracers since the 80s!!
 
 

Hated using metformin even SR version was a pain in proverbial!!
Been using Gliclazide gradul increase since August.... Now on 2x 80mg daily and tummy behaving better than even before diagnosis! And BGs now usually between 5s and 9s.... Of I go mad on carbs!!
I try to stick to less than 100g per day even as low as 40g on my best days! So hope to control type2 thru diet alone by New Year.... Next HbA1c due in Jan 2018

Good luck with your diet towards the new you!
 

Excellent! An inspiration to me !! I will hopefully post best weight loss later today after visit to GP this afternoon!
I too think in st lbs and GP gives kgs only!! So I come home to check out what weight I am!! My scales do both but I prefer st lbs old money!!
 
Sorry for all the extra posts I made to the thread today! I just discovered it this morning . awake early cos worried about GP visiit later on! Your posts have helped me thru my lack of sleep! Thank you everyone!
would also use a butterfly emoji but can't find one!!
 
Lost 1.9 kg last week. Yesterday was exactly 6 months since I joined Weight Watchers (online - I don't do public weighing )

Had a talk with GP on Monday - I'm down to 1 metformin a day now - redoing HbA1c in six weeks time - if that is still good then I can drop the metformin altogether
 
Drum roll... I'm 119.90kgs this morning (with water tummy).
Feeling optimistic again. I reduced my insulin too much, durr!!
Now better bgs.... losing again. Yipee!
Looking forward to next friday now.
 
No problem. We are here for you!
 
Hi @Polgara !
Love your avatar! Is that you, hiding behind the sparkler love heart?!
Hope your HbA1c will prove to be positive and you drop the metformin!!
 
Good morning I haven't been on the thread for a couple of months but after a months holiday in Southern Ireland eating everything I am sorely in need of losing weight as I have put so much back on. This morning 154 lbs!! I hope I can lose it again but wanted to log my restart point!
 
6/10 - Morning.

Suffering with Duodenitis I thought I might have lost some weight? = But, No. Remain at 12 stone 12 lbs.

Well Done Everybody.
