I know I've lost 49lbs but I still have another 150lbs going spare. The offer is still there if you want any. Offer may not be available permanently. It seems! Ha ha
No worries, they're all gone now!

How many carbs in a hat?
Hi friends,
I came on this thread a while ago, saying I was 177lbs and needed to be 170lbs. You were all very supportive.
However, I dropped out of watching my weight over summer, and I've actually put a fair bit of weight on- I was 183lbs when I weighed myself earlier this week. The people around me say I look better now, and that I was gaunt before; my wife tries to be kind by always getting me gin and spirits coz it keeps my bloods down if she wants me to have a meal out with her or try some fruit or treats she's brought etc. The fact is though, my health is just starting to move in the wrong direction. My bg readings are still pretty well-controlled, but I'm showing fat around my stomach- the exact 'belt' that presages metabolic syndrome; I'm also starting to get some of the neuropathy symptoms that I had in pre-diagnosis days when my liver was in a bad way (and I was 220lbs) . I would imagine alcohol has put my triglyceride readings through the roof, but it's still closely linked with my weight gain.
All in all, not very good.
I suppose the way out is clear enough: dial the diet back and deep-six the drink. I'd usually look for excuses as my first line of defence, but unfortunately, they aren't proving very effective anymore

Welcome back. With your partner's support try for low carb meals, maybe? Fruit in berry form is far better for most type2s bgs but test before and 2hrs after your fruit to see your reaction. Is it alcohol in the summer which has added your weight but kept your bgs good?Hi friends,

Diabetes is getting expensive what with lancets and test strips; new runnig shoes. Then theres the fact nothing in the wardrobe fits anymore old jeans are at least 4" bigger than my waist, had to by a couple of new pairs plus some shirts yesterday. The good news is work provide new uniform as needed..
Worse problems to have I suppose...
