I Did It!!!!!!!!!


well.my check up with the nurse today went really well.
She taken me off my diabetic meds. She said rather than stop the diet, come off the meds, as thats better in the long run, long as my sugars dont shoot up again.

Blood pressure still high so seeing doc weds tog et something for that. AND nurse spoke to doc, theyre finally going to give me tablets to help loose weight.

BUT the best news of all, since I was weighes a month ago i have LOST TEN POUNDS in weight!
I am soooooooooooooooo chuffed it's unreal. I couldnt belive it!!!!

still have half my current body weight to loose according to my ideal weight though, but woohooooo i'm on the way there!

Re: I Did It!!!!!!!!!


you know i gave up smoking 3 years ago, and didnt make any difference to weight. the biggest thing i ahve changed is not buying frozen or processed foods, we have fresh meat from butchers and freash veg from grocers. I find I dont get so hungry now either, the fresh foods fill me up more. ANd now i ahte the taste of processed foods. the kids like it more too, all the meals are getting eaten.

Re: I Did It!!!!!!!!!


GOOD LUCK for thursday Kay. I dresed going today too, but i think it helps that it's me getting weighed by a practice nurse i've seen a fair bit, and not at a weight club thingy in front of other people.
I am sure you can do it kay!

for every pound I loose i'll donate £1 to my local cat shelter!

Re: I Did It!!!!!!!!!


Well done and lots of luck for continued success CJK. Understand totally where you are coming from - processed foods are so "last year" in my house too since I started this low carb diet!! The kids are obviously not low carbing, but I adjust the meal I am having to include extras for them. So much better food.

Re: I Did It!!!!!!!!!


well it doesnt actually cost me anymore money wise, and we are all going to be healthier for it.
Elliot goes with me and enjoys picking the meat and vegetables, and I dont make the kids do low carb either.
Somuch more taste to FRESH foods!
