Well done!12/1/18 - Morning.
Back to my 'usual' 12 stone 12 lbs.
Had sutures removed a few days ago (after 15 days of them) so I am mobile again, just got to be careful and the 2 lb gain the other week was probably just a blip!
Blood Sugars are erratic at moment - but on Antibiotics for infected Sinuses = Thanks to 13 month old Granddaughter sharing her "bugs"!!
Well Done Everybody.
Ha! Ye3s, don't know how I managed that! Hate my new scales!
Is that because you can’t ‘lose’ weight by learning backwards?! Mine won’t do that either!

Changing my lifestyle a step at a time. No beating myself up just constant awareness and adjustment and room for a glass of red wine and some dark chocolate Can I be fitter at 80? there's the challengeVey inspirational, well done VivD, & thank you for sharingHaving lost 5stone with ups and downs and much plateauing over the 15 years since I was diagnosed low carb high fat has become a way of life BUT it is a pattern of adjustment turning the screw every now and again and adapting and making it part of my life. I was battling with weight in my early teens and am now 72. My top weight was 18st 3lbs (only 5'3") now hovering at just over 13st but a stone lighter than the same time last year (when I was up on my norm of around 13.10) I had plateaued for years and intermittent fasting is what changed things as well as a not picking policy. Has anyone created a 750 cal HFLC menu for throwing in once or twice or even if you are good and strong willed for trying longer term like the Newcastle diet?
As for sugars/ weight - I mainly check every morning but will do additional bs checks if out of kilter - a high weight might see me wait until after 12 for food and if by then it isn't bothering me see how far I can go. When things start to slip or I feel like I can do an extra push I become more vigilant keep diaries etc. As well as dog walking I find quick on the spot running every now and then through the day will improve my steps count as well as dancing to adverts whatever

That's the spirit! I've always found that small things make it easier to keep it going rather than a NY resolution to lose X kg by February. Something I've noticed about the new scales is I'm paying less attention to the daily readings because I know they're logging the results, and it's the trend that's important. And I think it's the same with exercise, ie walk a bit more. Dogs are also great as exercise buddies, taking you for walks, getting a bit of upper body workout throwing sticks etc. And it leaves more room for treats. Dark chocolate can be low carb, and it's made from fruit!
My sleep is all over the place.
