Same as last week 93.4kgs. Must keep up use of docusate sodium. I'm finding quinine use a help with lower bgs, ironically. Surprising medication which hasn't weight gain as a side effect.
Oh @SlimLizzy how sad. Poor Errant, poor you29.10.2021
Both MrSlim and I are devasted to lose our little friend.
Errant adopted me and was my sole companion during the first lockdown, when MrSlim was called back to UK to help during the covid crisis.
When MrSlim returned the Scaredy Cat adapted to another person and became MrSlims friend.
We could not leave him to fend for himself, nor expect a neighbour to look after him for months, so Errant travelled to the UK with us last year in October. We had thought to return to Normandy after Christmas, but covid restrictions meant we were trapped in the UK until may. During this time we mostly lived in a motorhome. As you can imagine living in such close quarters we developed very strong bonds.
On returning to Normandy Errant was instantly once more at home - although he had to exert his authority over other cats who had usurped his tiny territory.
We were all happy until the end of September when Errant lost his voice. The vet thought it an infection and he had antibiotics, which brightened him up, but his voice diminished to a whisper. Back to the vet, xrays revealed he had been shot. One of the pellets was close to his voicebox and an operation attempting to remove it would be difficult for the vet and dangerous for the cat. More antibiotics were prescribed.
However Errant went rapidly downhill, stopped eating and was obviously in distress.
Errant died of suspected lead poisioning two days ago.
Considering that he had lost his voice, how is it that the house is so quiet without him?
Oh I’m so sorry for Errant and you both.29.10.2021

Welcome @Widgets and good luck!I've decided to join in here - after a lifetime of not telling anyone how much I weigh and almost always being the 'fat kid' or 'fat bird' in any group. I lost a lot of weight a few years back and then put most of it back. Since a pre-diabetic HbA1c in June I've been back on the low carb wagon, this time, I hope, doing in a sustainable way for the long haul.
Anyway, 81.3kg this morning. I have about 6kg to go to 'normal' BMI (yes, I know what kind of blunt instrument BMI is and what the limitations are)
Oh @SlimLizzy I'm so sorry for your loss. I've just seen your post. I know how upsets can affect everything, even weight.29.10.2021

You're doing fantastic! You will smash this.

It helps me for sure. I'm going on strict low carb in January with my 14yr old solid son. It that doesn't help well it snookered as I'm already on 600-800 cals a day.Okay… to show how much weight can fluctuate and how one poor week can make a difference but isn’t a showstopper
back off a weeks holiday so Saturday: 80.6kg. An increase of 4.3kg in a week or thereabouts (?!!)
Sunday: 77.95kg, a drop of 2.65kg overnight but still overall more than I want. So, all in all still an increase over what I was happy with and a bit of work to get back towards the 73.5kg that was my average for so long. I had crept up a bit but also had been going to the gym so my end goal may end higher, we shall see!
So, for myself and maybe if it helps others… it’s not always going to go how we want and mistakes happen but we move on and and address it.
