Group 7-day waking average?

Ditto said:
I started 'being good' yesterday apart from that half a small loaf just to finish it off! In the single figures this morning yay. 8 summat. I'm trying to do low carb and only eat at 10 and 5. I wanted to do a liquid only diet ie SlimFast but I'm thinking best not and anyways when I tried it for four days I wanted to gnaw my own arm off. 🙄

Have a good day all.

I think as soon as you say to yourself, “I am going to diet/ eat healthier”, you immediately want a Mars bar! I dieted on and off for years, WW, SW etc. Lost weight, put it on, lost more and so on. About 6 years ago I just thought “ sod it” and stopped overthinking it, I didn’t deny myself but didn’t overindulge, and I have found over those years my appetite has diminished. I haven’t lost any weight but more importantly, I haven’t put any on. I have never been grossly overweight, just baby fat that I never lost, could do with being about a stone and a half lighter but really can’t be bothered. Liquid diets work fantastically initially but they are totally unsustainable, a friend of mine who was 30 stone, lost 19 stone in 9 months, he looked amazing, he was in the newspapers and magazines. He is now even bigger, it’s so sad. @Ditto I know it’s easy for me to pontificate about these things whilst you may be struggling but we’ve all been there and all here to support you and listen to you so stay in touch.

Hope it went well!
 
Morning all! Woke with a cough, splutter & a pathetic whinging moan, and a 5.7.
 
05:24 BS 8.5. A bit better than yesterday! Speaking of which was slightly better in that I only had 1 high & things settled down later to end on BS 6.8 before bed. Oh, made sure my phone had power before turning in & took my midnight Levemir bang on time when the alarm went off.

Not hungry at all when up so. 8 units Novorapid & half an oatcake to stop BS rise. Stayed in bed, will get up for exercises & breakfast around 09:00 ish!

My ear/s are fine now, no spray yesterday, just in time for this evening’s flu vaccine at 7pm health centre after hours!

Have a good day all & be sunny on the inside!🙂

Have a good Wednesday everyone 🙂

Eek, come down gently, Flower, and watch for that broken rung!
 
Morning all. A @khskel like mundane 6.3. I love mundane ( in this case). Going to look at ovens, now that REALLY is mundane but needs must. Mr Eggy admitted defeat in trying to fix our old one, £120 and 2 days hard labour wasted. 😱
 
16.8 :( I had all sorts of plans to get myself sorted before my next HBA1C but thats going to be at the end of this month and my results lately have been terrible. Feeling very emotional today, only myself to blame.
 
Good morning everyone. I hope you all have a good day. I’ve not read @ny posts yet, woke up late and rushing to go out for flu jab
Woke on 6.6 just out of interest I swiped again after a hot shower and the exersize of the stairs lol 9.1

Oh Carol! ( I wrote that in a Neil Sedaka voice). At least you know you are NEARLY at the end of your very long tunnel. They can’t ignore these numbers. You will be sorted soon and you will feel like a new woman. Take care. Xx

I always find scanning after a shower gives a high reading.
