  CATHY and DAWN I’m in for the August reset!! Good that SUE is joining us too.

  I’ve lost half a stone this year and am maintaining at that level but would also like to get to 138lb by the end of the year. Which means I have almost another stone to lose, so I need to speed things up! Your earlier post resonated with me CATHY – summer, World Cup, sunshine, drinks, snacks etc. All helped derail me at this end too. And I’ve been having a fabulous time, just want to balance things out a bit now and get a few more pounds off before the end of summer.

  I’m visiting family the rest of this week but as of Monday really want to get back on board with healthy eating, minimum drinking and maximum exercise. It’d be great if we could share eating plans / food ideas on here from time to time. I’m no longer on the online plan but have records of what I ate then so will use that as a starting point, plus the BSD/Fast 800 books. But any other ideas to help keep me going would be very much appreciated!

  Hope that everyone has a good rest of this week, and will see you all on Monday! X

  HI DCT/Dawn/SueBlue and anyone else who wants to join in our August challenge.
  On Monday morning I’ll be reporting for duty for the August reset. I weighed myself today before my cheese pie tomorrow and my gelato over the weekend and I was 142 lb. I am aiming for a goal weight of 138lb. I am happy to share what I eat every day during August and also my weekly weight. I will weigh on Monday morning and take things from there, I am going to aim to walk 7000 steps indoors or outdoors EVERY day too. When I embarked on my 12 week blood sugar reduction diet in February I did really well and got my HbA1c down from 42 to 35 and my weight from 166 lb to 140 lb. I reckon in a month I could lose 4lb. Let’s see!
  See you all on Monday for our challenge. We’ve got this!

  Cathy, I am doing 1kg a month, not much but add that up over a year. It allows for treats and days out when life gets in the way. Also, my HbA1c was 7.5 after the cruise and I am aiming for 6.5 for September test. I wont join you but will be with you in spirit and looking in.

  Hi Sunshine Girl
  So good to read about your progress. i think we seem to have the trick- enjoy holidays and festivities and work hard in between. I cannot get out of control ever again- it’s been a slog for years to undo the damage! I read a great book earlier this year by Professor Taylor about reversing pre diabetes and it really inspired me. Thank you for your support and keep us posted on your journey and progress. We all appreciate each other on this forum. We know the effort thst goes into every pound lost!
