Just wow! You look amazing! Well done you
 
@shelley262 I have now watched the clip and its terrific. Of course I am also a convert to this woe but what stood out was the ease of conviction you imparted to the camera. You were like a Professor of Life and a real natural. It was powerful.

Awwh what kind words you are a very generous person x
 
Wow your transformation is amazing very very well done and I have to say you look way younger too on your current photo. Almost like a different person I’d imagine some people walk past you as they have the old image in their minds. I know that I still find people walk past me even though I’ve now been maintaining my low weight for about 5 months. Wishing you the best of luck too for your hbaca1 test too look forward to hearing your results I’m sure with your current bgs they should be good.
 
Thank you everyone for the lovely comments. I'm so glad my friend told me about this site and I found this forum and thread. It's so supportive.

Kudos to those of you like @Debandez, @shelley262, @Rachox and ,@Goonergal and everyone at the Low Carb meetup (I hope I haven't left anyone out) who are spreading the word far and wide about how LCHF helps Type 2 diabetes.

@Debandez

Good timing! I can't control the fact that it's a beautiful sunny day outside and I want to go out and play but it's also very cold. I wish I were somewhere like in your picture but I can't control that either.

I'm grateful that I don't HAVE to go out into the cold, and that I had a very nice visit with 4 nice neighbors downstairs in the lobby an hour or so ago. Then came home to a hot barbecue lunch.
 

Yay! I'm glad that is all done. I'm trying to picture an oil tank and I can picture a propane tank and I'm wondering if the two are anything alike.

 
I wish i was somewhere like in the picture too saskia

Thanks @shelley262 @Emma_369 take a look at this thread:

I ended up getting 2 things (I also use the CareSens Dual that Shelley mentioned for ketones, but wanted a couple of cheaper things to test more frequently at one point):
