Weekly weigh in - Fridays

3lbs off this week :cool: and I was on holiday. My BG has been around 8-9 mmol/l all week because of treating myself for my birthday (of course birthdays last 3-4 days right! ;)) so I think I’ve been lucky with the weight loss.
 
Surprised myself this morning. I haven't been weighing myself much because it was really depressing but I did this morning and I have lost 5lb since the last time - about 5 weeks ago. Now down to 17st 51/2 lb. I still look gross though despite losing a total of 20lb in the last year. Also managed to get my HBA1c down to 53 from 63 last time - about 3 months ago.

Shocker of a week. Blue Badge cancelled and now trying to appeal. Need Consultants letter but Doctors on strike and secretary says he is too busy.
I am just very stressed.
Put on 2.4 lbs which is just making things worse.

That is dreadful @filly how on earth can they do that? I hope you get it sorted. Sorry about the weight gain, stress is probably something to do with it.
