Wow that is a great loss very fine job you have done congratulations
Good morning I last week weighed in at 142 lbs and this week 140.6. So a loss of 1.4 lbs. I'm looking forward to tipping out of the 10 stones into the 9s. Maybe next week ?
Good morning. 0.8kg off for me this week, so I lost the 0.4 I put on last week, plus another 0.4, taking me to 94.4 kg - total loss of 6.7kg (just over a stone).
Down another 1.1 kg to 101.9 kg.
First time I've been under 16 stones for many a year
If you are still taking tramadol they might be making you feel hungry. I was on them for a few years and have put over 3 stone on and am gutted because I get married in 3 months and just can't motivate myself to 'diet' because of the depression. You get into a really vicious circle of pain > depression > comfort eating because you can't do anything > guilt > depression > pain. Etc...80.2kg. Very pleased with that as I have had a dreadful week. I expected the fortnight long celebration of hubby's birthday to be a disaster for my weight loss and needed the shame of reporting on here to stop me being tempted or giving up after all the meals and cake. It worked and all naughties kept in moderation. Last meal out was last Friday and I did not touch the medieval jacket potato, corn on the cob or apple crumble. I drank a couple of glasses of wine and the mead. I had planned a cider and that should have been the end of it but sadly the mead was my undoing.
I have found one pint of ordinary cider and 2 pints of water works excellently. I imagine mead is quite high carb but thought with a glass of water I would be fine. Everywhere I have been before has given me soda water. This place gave me a dirty look, went out of the bar area and got tap water. Not even cold water. Warmish like it has come out of a mixer tap. Tasted yuk but Coventry water is not good and being a very old, large hotel would have interesting plutmbing. 17 hours later, dry mouth, sore throat, throbbing gums the works. I have spent the week sneezing, dewdropping, and snivelling. Tried a wilko lemsip thingy but my diabetes head arrived after a few sips so did not dare finish.
I carried out diet doctor each evening. Each recipe doing 2 evening meals - pork and onion, pesto chicken feta olives and roast pork. But have polished off a whole bottle of red, ate 6 squares of lidl 74% chocolate, 2 roast parsnip and quite a bit of carrot. I am blaming the extra carbs for being hungry as 2 egg omelette for breakie has been plenty before. So I still feel **** but am pulling round and eating St Felicity guacamole. Still hungry.
Well done. I know weight alters throughout the day and there a lot of variables but maybe your success with porridge has something to do with your genetic heritage? I am doing the futurelearn demistifying diabetes course and someone on there wrote the following comment. I think that might go someway to explaining why everyone has a different reaction to foodstuffs. I cannot write it better than her so I am cut and pasting:- The way different individuals process carbohydrates may be influenced by your genetic background, some cultures or ethnicities are more adept to processing certain food and others may not be. The way that pasta, breads and other high to moderate glycaemic foods are offered to us today is not the best source of nutritional carbohydrates. Carbohydrates should be (in my belief) more sourced from cellular-carbohydrates rather than the processed and "dead" carbohydrates (ie. starchy vegetables and tubers rather than floury varieties of foods like breads and pastas). BUT this is just my opinion, that I have formulated upon the research I have come into contact with very recent studies done on the gut microbiota. I hope this helps??Yipee! A loss again.
Weigh in as 129.90kg this morning. So 1.70kg loss (3lb approx loss)
I don't know what's doing it but whatever it is I'm losing.
I'm eating white bread, porridge and chocolate. What!!!
Could my steady insulin keeping bgs low be helping me lose weight? Could just 2 metformin instead of 4 be helping? Could it be tramadol?
Answers on a postcard.
I'm drinking water instead of diet lemonade lately and lots of eggs instead of chicken. More mackerel and salmon. No veg.
Yes, no veg.
I don't get it!
Oh and no loose tummy, not even a hint.
Is it metformin or keeping low bgs with insulin getting rid of my weight ?
Do not beat yourself up about anything in the past. Live now and plan what YOU want for YOUR future. Everytime your mind slips back into what happened shake yourself and bring your thoughts straight back into the here and now. Who is in charge of the food shopping where you live? If you can control that it is easy to have "good" foods close to hand. I am lucky in that if I think I am going to be tempted I can deposit the offender wih hubby who removes it. I find if I think about food it is easy to be tempted so I like to have catering planned so I am not drawn into considering ungood options. I have a 2 egg omelette for breakfast. No weighing up options. Up coffee, omelette done. With guests or late breakies it is the sausage (80%+ bratwurst lidl/aldi), bacon and egg. Ideas for lunch and dinner is really where the diet doctor is marvellous. I did the 2 week challenge. If you really want to make sure there is no risk of temptation it is possible to put your food order in for home delivery using the diet doctor shopping list and you only have to cook, serve and eat. Every meal was delicious. Start it now. Have you already got your wedding dress?If you are still taking tramadol they might be making you feel hungry.

I've signed up for the low carb programme on here 3 times then never actually started it, and again this brings the guilt and shame of failing both myself and my fiancé

Starting weight 7/8 weeks ago 14 st 9 lb.K
Happy weekend to you all , hope everyone is fine and do not have pain .
Well not so good for me looks like I have gone up 2 kg , guessing some of it is water retension in my muscles that really hurt after very much .But I also have had a hard time eating low calories so maybe I have hit a limit where from I keep weight on instead of loosing .
I have read online could be diet doctor that your body can stop losing weight when it works out its correct weight for you? So may be you have reached yours. Good luckX K

My predominently welsh genes seem happier with meat proteins and clearly overwhelm any grain processing heritage from my Kentish and Gloucester great-grandparents. Maybe your gut microbiota are better able to process grains?
I have not got as far as medications yet. Doubt I will fully comprehend the ramifications when I do. You might find the course interesting. It is free and if you do not want to do the course proper you could always take the leave course option after looking at the information and whichever links you find interesting. https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/demystifying-diabetes.With the help of metformin? Or more Insulin?
Metformin changes my tummy fat. From hard stagnant fat to loose soft fatty tum. Easier to burn off in exercise!
