Hi everyone, I stayed the same this week.
Well done @filly at least it is in the right direction.
That is good, @EllieM and yes, I am sure you can get to below 70.
Uh-oh, @IanBish - sourdough would be too tempting for me too.
Eek, @May Mic time to get back on the straight and narrow (although I must admit, I felt as if a few extra nibbles were calling my name this week too.
Have a good week, we can do this!

I had a bit too much of it this week. As well as Lidl's 85% dark chocolate (which is lovely).

That's to be expected sometimes. But it's just over half a pound.

I was diagnosed T2 in October 2024, at the time 97kg and 165cm tall. Well, the height is never changing except maybe decreasing as I age....but since then I have done a low carb diet and been within target of 125g daily about 95% of the time. In between then and now there has been a 3 week far east cruise and Christmas, which did halt progress a little...but hey life is for living. Just before the cruise I had got to 89kg, and post cruise and Christmas saw that rise to 91kg. Which wasn't as bad a hit as it could have been ...but today....having gone quite strict again ...87.5kg. With a multi-gym delivered (scheduled to be built and running by end of February due to garage reconfig thats needed) and thrice weekly walking football sessions at an hour a time, plus the ongoing dog walks, I'm confident I can hit my 80kg inital target by target day of May 16th. I've discovered Westbrooks brewery low carb beers which help on the rare occasions I fancy a beer, Happy Jo's low carb keto ice cream (not cheap) and sugar free polo mints to just calm down coffee mouth 
. My own response to T2 has surprised me, this regime has seem my HBA1C drop from 50 to 44 in 3 months , I feel more 'lively' and quite honestly more positive. My diabetes nurse has been ghreat, not lecturing but advising and also saying the odd breach of targets (meals out/parties) is OK as long as I revert to type the next day. Happy days.
