Kathleen me darlin' you were right when you said I was nesh. I just couldn't go through with it. The dutiful diabetic does not take chances with their feet. With this in mind my doggie went completely nude and I went out in only a pair of leopard skin print carpet slippers. My podiatrist will love me forever more :)

Wished I was their to see armed with a camera Haha!!!!!K

Your numbers look good compared to mine,geefull.....I've reached my target weight,so have been tweaking the carbs to see how things go.My morning readings are a wee bit high,so I'll have a re think............. I still look in the mirror and wonder who this little granny is with the white hair.She reminds me of my mother when she was an old lady.It can't be me because in my head I'm in my thirties!;)

Heh ! Less of the old and granny comments bet you look fab!! K

Weather dark and gloomy here too though sun did break through briefly this morningn long enough for me to shot this photo. The dramatically lid landscapes (the back garden in this case) against broody skies are amongst my favorite photos.

Hope you are better soon @

Hi Kathleen

My only contribution to the Christmas decorations was taking the photographs.

It's a bit embarrassing to admit but we pay for someone to come and decorate our trees. My wife and I both work long hours and have neither the time or the patience to do this ourselves.

Yes, we have two Christmas trees the more formal one in the front room and more fun one for the living room.

My wife has some funny ideas sometimes.

But I have to admit the house does look spectacular over Christmas.

But for me right now is too soon to be drowning in Christmas spirit

good morning all :)

5.0 today

a little bit higher than usual for me but I was awake a couple of hours earlier and lay dozing and then forgot and drank some of a cup of tea before testing :( so I'm putting it down to that though I had a bit more protein yesterday than usual ;) (Yummy roast pork!)

I'm trying to tweak my food intake up a bit now I'm getting to a reasonable weight and balancing things is a bit of a task isn't it after having a very good idea of exactly what I could/would eat to have a small calorie deficit?

Balancing things for the long term is the new task :) looking in the mirror and seeing myself half the size I was is still a bit of a surprise some days :happy:
Well done geefull

Thanks GG,not so sure about that,luckily mr Mac thinks I'm still ok although I believe he's waiting for a spec savers appointment!!;) Hope you feel better with that cold.

I like it when watching Rugby League on the TV and the referee has a Specsavers advert on the back of his shirt. LOL

Hi Glenmac
It's no easy feat to lose weight irrespective of how much,we need encouragement and a pat on the back where it's due,and it's over due you've achieved a fabulous weight loss well done. Now enjoy buying all those new smaller clothes,if your anything like me I've just bought myself 2 pair trousers and 2 tops in size 16 I was size 24 because I couldn't accept the loss and carried on wearing large clothes. I saw myself in a full length mirror I looked like a baggy sack,so that spurred me on to buy. I'm happy with this size Has when we get older everything goes south so I don't want more weight loss. But Congratulations to you enjoy your hard work!
Nothing wrong with Mr Macs arms is their he he can wrap them round you better now I'll bet.K Haha!! K
