I prefer stones and pounds. Nicer when your on to the next stone lolStopped trying to convert to lbs and kg as I'm sure I was doing it wrong and googles calculator was massively out (lost in conversion.)
plus kgs and lbs are such big numbers with such little changes I prefer the stones and lbs numbers

A surprising -9lbs down
Seems a lot but I suppose there's a lot to go, am eating pretty low carb (for me) at around 48g paced over the day (not counting some green stuff) which doesnt seem to negatively affect my bgs. Calories are clocking in around 800-1000 per day, which is a pretty big deficit from what I should be eating to maintain my weight. (one app reckons 3250 calories a day to maintain my current weight but I'm wary of such recommendations anyway.)
Aagh, just been away for 10 days and the scales at the resort were giving me low 73s and high 72s.
74.4kg so back on the wagon (far too much alcohol on holiday)

Sorry Ellie, maybe going off topic, just joined forum was diagnosed with type 2 2 years ago, was 18st 4 , a did stick rigidly to exercise bike and Mediterranean diet and lost 4st, kinda still stick to my exercise and diet regime, but just when you mention alcohol wouldn’t mind a wee drink with friends now and again, what’s best drink to drink and how much would be ok a night outAagh, just been away for 10 days and the scales at the resort were giving me low 73s and high 72s.

That’s great raven, you really will feel the difference, a got an ankle fusion was weighing in and over 18st was saying to the surgeon s it was still sore and they would have to redo it, they said they would and when I got the blood test to say I was okay for the op that’s when I got diagnosed with diabetes 2, like you my knees ached and ankle was still sore, best exercise rather walking a found was stationary bike, very easy pace to start with then build up, no impact on knees or joints, once I lost the weight my ankles stopped hurting as did my knees and I can now do walks aswell, so didn’t the ankles redonehahaha yes!
I know it's cause I'm used to the measure but it feels like so much more movement to a milestone when there's 14lbs to a stone.
kgs and lbs alone seem like a huge expanse to me.
2023/03/17 - 23 Stone 7lbs,

Wont split hairs and will use the higher number for now, which is a further reduction of 4lbs, this week.

Oh boy. Not the best week. Up (1.3lb) 218.6. After doing so well it is getting me down.
Diabetic nurse just rang. Metformin SR dropped to once a day...
Thank you. Trying to lose weight has always been a struggle and not being active doesn't help.Second part brilliant news.
Hugs for the first bit, depending on your goal/s you might still be doing well? (though not feeling like it at the moment)
and 73.8kg after a non teetotal week, sigh...and 73.2kg after a teetotal week so hopefully I'm back on track....
I freely admit to drinking too much on occasion. I stick to wine because it doesn't affect my bg much, but the reason I try to moderate it (apart from general health) is that I find that low carb alone isn't enough to keep my weight down unless I do at least some of the following (exercise. not too much alcohol, avoid binge cheese eating).Sorry Ellie, maybe going off topic, just joined forum was diagnosed with type 2 2 years ago, was 18st 4 , a did stick rigidly to exercise bike and Mediterranean diet and lost 4st, kinda still stick to my exercise and diet regime, but just when you mention alcohol wouldn’t mind a wee drink with friends now and again, what’s best drink to drink and how much would be ok a night out
