I just made a chart of my highs and lows for the first month in purgatory. The trend is down, but I've still got quite a way to go. I hope I can keep it up... I mean down.

"Claps hands enthusiastically" - thats brilliant! Well done - you have put a lot of effort into this so you should give yourself a big pat on the back!:DBev
 
That's excellent progress Alison, and a very useful picture to illustrate the improving trend!🙂
 
So this is good then? I wasn't sure.

I've been doing the low carb, low fat, low sugar, low salt thing since day one. No fizzy drinks, no chocolate, no butter. Hardly any bread or potatoes and only a little pasta and rice. No frying, very little meat or fruit but lots of veg. No alcohol, but lots of tea and water. I walk everywhere. I'm a lot less stressed here at home than in London, I'm sure that helps. I think the real test will come when the novelty wears off and I get tempted to fall off the wagon.

The diet today:

Breakfast, 50gms oatmeal, 150 ml milk (1% semi-skimmed) S&P. Tea with milk. Pill.

Lunch, 300mls soup. Tea.

Dinner, seafood korma with a little rice (no naan :( ), around 500gms. Tea. Pills.

Snack, a muesli bar with nuts and cranberries, tea, water.

I'm not doing calories, or actually measuring carbs but I am testing at least four times a day and reading the labels on everything I buy.
 
not as flash as steff ...but (hope this works)
