Hi Sunny thought I should pop in while I’m on the website and keep you company. Sorry you’re weather has turned cool but believe me whatever you are having is better than here in the UK at the moment!

I just have one huge positive today. Earlier this week my airfryer died. I checked my
guarantee and I taken an extended 3 year guarantee. Spoke to the company Monday, a few emails and some photos and my replacement machine arrived today. Updated, looks neater and with more attachments. What’s not to be happy about.
Lesson: always fill in your guarantees online. It doesn’t take long and it can pay off!

Hope if you have, even just one positive, you will post so we can all enjoy.

Thank you Verano & good luck with your packing. It’s much windier here in West Sussex now with some loss of power locally but it hopefully won’t reach us. We will be eating a fast earlier supper just in case of crust less quiché & low sugar baked beans 😀I do hope there is no power cut because CelebrityTraitors is on tv tonight 🤞🤞
Surgery wise I just have to go with the flow🤔
Have a good weekend everyone 👍
Margaret xx

Yes, Christmas is coming. We have a couple of dozen people the week before for drinks, bubbles and bites. It’s so difficult to find carb friendly ‘bites’ but I’m doing my best to incorporate some. Have to say when it’s my own thing I tend not to eat that much anyway just making sure the ‘guests’ are ‘fed and watered’.

So s-g looks like we are still just two. Anyway since the beginning of October I have actually had a loss, 3.4lbs, so not too unhappy about that. My realistic goal is 1lb a week. So if I make that within a pound I’m happy. I have to say I’ve relaxed quite a lot lately. A few times a week I have a slice of my homemade seeded wholemeal bread. Today at 10.30 I had brunch of a slice of my bread, butter, 2 scrambled duck eggs and some smoked salmon. It’s now 5pm and I’m not even slightly hungry! Shame really because I have shoulder of lamb roasting in the oven. I have to say now that I more relaxed with food I’m more relaxed generally, or maybe that’s down to meditation or a combination of both. Who knows what next week will bring?

Now we are just 9 weeks from Christmas and so 10 to the end of the year …… still time!

I’m with you too Margaret!
S-g maybe we need to use ‘rose coloured spectacles’!!! They say candle light is pretty forgiving too!

Weather here has turned really miserable and I’m trying to make a packing list for the Med. Think it will just have to be lots of layers. As long as it’s dry it will be fine and definitely warmer than here.

Margaret it’s sometimes more difficult the second time around because you know what to expect. In saying that I’ve had 7 or 8 hip surgeries, some I don’t remember, but those that I do were all different. But part of me also feels that because you have an idea of what to expect post surgery recovery is ‘better’ because you have an idea of what’s ’normal’. Anyway, hope they don’t keep you waiting too long. Certainly sounds as though you will get this one quicker than the first.

I’ve had such a strange week food wise. Days when I thought I had eaten badly I lost weight and those when I thought I’d eaten well showed gains! But at the moment I have little loss for this week so far although I don’t have my weigh-in day until Tuesday.

Have a good weekend.

AI Voice post reported but not showing

A bit like me Margaret, I look about 45 – until I look in the mirror 🙂 🙂 🙂

That is good to hear S-G & as you say the poor students! However I was surprised to learn of the protests because I thought that the French educational system was excellent & better than the UK one🤔
Anyway take care. I saw a new orthopaedic consultant yesterday & I am now on his three month waiting list for a total left knee replacement. I am certainly not looking forward to going through all that again but needs must because as before I have lost all cartilage on one side & the other is borderline operative & that knee is now becoming more painful. Oh the joys of getting older 🙁. However I apparently don’t look my age because this surgeon was surprised when I said 79 next month😂 I will willingly take any compliment that I can get😂
Margaret xx

Hi V, no trouble here, some in Bordeaux which is about 60 miles away. I feel sorry for the students having their legitimate protests taken over by right wing activists. This is leading up to the election next year and Marine le Penn trying to get in again. Lets hope the French see sense. If you saw French news you would have seen the students cleaning the streets the next day, they are devestated that some small businesses were robbed and it was not down to the students.

Good afternoon.
Yes Margaret I do meditate but not transcendental I follow guided sessions. I use Headspace most of the time but have found some good free meditations on Insight Timer. Talking about websites Dietdoctor is up and running again. Apparently it was bought out by somebody. Looks much the same with the great visuals that we all liked.

Not much going on here. I hadn’t realised the clocks go back next Sunday which is a bit depressing but I guess we just have to get on with it. We are off to the Med in a couple of weeks. I did think about the time of year before booking and then thought ‘it will be ok on the day’! May have been a bit foolhardy! Just have no idea what to pack. Think it may be ‘layers’ for all seasons. But at least there’ll be no washing or shopping and cooking!

Hope everyone is well.

Hi everyone,
Sorry I haven’t posted in ages. Got back from the Lake District on Friday, had a lovely time despite the rain. The weeks leading up to going were spent losing and gaining the same few pounds so I intend spending the rest of the year trying to really make use of the online plan to get as close to my goal as possible. I’ve been feeling pretty rough not eating very healthily and my knees have been extremely sore but I know from experience it will only take me two weeks of healthy eating and a little bit of exercise to feel completely different so I’m holding on to that thought! I hope everyone else is doing ok, for most of this year I feel as if I’ve wasted time yet again but we still have ten weeks to say ‘we’ve got this’ and that’s more than enough time to make a big difference. Dawn ❤️

S-G I have just been watching the news & seeing all the rioting going on in France are you affected by any of this in your area? If so take care!
Margaret xx

Hi everyone. Another week! Just thought I’d check in quickly to see how everyone is doing.

SHOEGIRL well done for your ongoing progress. I personally think that it’s ok to vary the exact amount of calories (within reason!) depending on a whole host of other factors, including how active you are and how much you have to lose. I notice on the Fast 800 site that quite often the meals they suggest for a fasting day can add up to over 800 calories, which also makes me think it’s fine.

I’m in the naughty chair this morning 🙀 I had been doing really well until the end of last week; slow and steady progress but an overall downward direction. Then I confess I blew it over the weekend. It was my husband’s birthday on Friday and we went to a gig, stayed overnight, had lots to eat and drink then – to top it all – decided to have a takeaway when we got home on Saturday night. The net result on the scales the next morning was an increase of over 3lb, most of which is still lurking. But, whilst that’s frustrating, at least it’s explainable and I know (hope?!) from experience that it’s mostly water weight and will soon come down again. And I had a wonderful time which at our age (I’m late 60’s) is also really important.

So firmly back to the WoE this morning and hope I can get back to where I was last week then continue on down from there 🤞

Hope everyone has a good week X

I have reported umerasiffff but for some reason i cannot post that I have reported. Hope this works.

Or even four birds a calling !!!!!

It seems Margaret (Wendy1947) didnt know we have a christmas thread running so I have let her know. You never know we might become 3 French hens.

Well the loss continues and I am back down to a 1.5kg loss.

Well done Margaret on your loss but dont forget to just enjoy your birthday(s) experience. There is a Christmas thread started by Verano called Christmas is coming etc…..

For me it is not about not losing weight or giving up but to not want to have just tight control over everything in my life. Just have to learn to relax and not punish myself for small slips like the bread when out for a meal. I already cut out any potatoes and never have a dessert so I am being cruel to myself if I deny one piece of lovely fresh baguette which I save for during the meal – the glucose goddess rules of eating carbs after protein etc. Then I put on a small amount of water weight and kick myself whereas I should just accept it and stay away from the scales for a couple of days.

Still no movement on the house but whats new.

Hello everyone & I have just weighed & lost 1.2 lbs after gaining the week before but feeling more positive now. I have an appointment back down at my private hospital as an NHS patient for physio assessment so my surgeons letter to get referred worked quickly because it’s next Tuesday. I know it will probably be six months on his weighting list but that is ok.
I have been reading all your posts & noticed that you meditate Verano & I learnt Transcendental Meditation when my children were very young to keep myself calm. I encouraged my son to learn it last year & it’s really beneficial for him. I have recently tried getting back into it but I think I have forgotten my original mantra but can use something similar sounding because I really have no excuse not to 😀
Our boiler is broken so thank heavens for the continuing milder weather at the moment. Another gas engineer is coming next Friday to flush through the entire central heating system so hopefully that will work otherwise it is several thousand pounds for a new boiler!
I hope you are all keeping well & next month my husband & I will be celebrating his 80th & my 79th birthdays just with family for lunch the day before his then on a special luxury train journey to Blenheim Palace being wined & dined on the way there & back . We are staying in a London AirBnB which is a new experience for us to enable us to get the early train from Victoria station then the next day it’s lunch on a Thames boat before coming back home. So lots of celebratory food & wine 😂. We don’t have enough friends still alive to have a big party but our granddaughters will make our birthday cake for the Sunday lunch which will be fun for them & I will make one for our Saturday morning coffee group😂.
I am happy to join a Christmas group to keep us going 👍I’m still battling on with my DuoLingo French to keep my little grey cells working🤔😂
Take care everyone à bientôt !
Margaret xx

Has turned quite cool here and it’s raining this morning which is keeping us indoors, so thought I’d look for a couple of positives …
🧺🧺 was sunny and blowy yesterday, so was able to get a couple of loads of laundry done
🙂🙂 ordered curtains for the living room yesterday, which should be ready middle of next week
🖼💅 got some new art supplies, so have been having fun experimenting with them … good way to pass time when the weather keeps us inside

Right now, I’m off to tackle a bit more in the ‘room of doom’ 😂🤣

Hope there are plenty of positives popping into you life … why not share a few?

Very interesting s-g. I wonder how easy it really is to put our past behind us and ‘live’ in the ‘now’. Maybe it really is time to forget about weight. Eat well to keep you T2 in check but start ‘living’. I wish you every success.

Not much to report. Weight is dithering around the 1.2kg loss but not much more progress. I succumbed to half a baguette for lunch yesterday but not bothered. In my conversation with AI we went through everything I do, diet, supplements, exercise, avoid social situations that involve food. He said something very insightful. Due to a lifetime of abuse (especially when I was young and not now) he said my whole life was planned around protecting myself be it by not sleeping and staying alert during the night right down to every morsel I put in my mouth. He said I was doing everything to keep myself safe but I was not living. That I should let go now and then and see if anything bad happens. Okay, I gain 0.3kg with the baguette but I enjoyed it. Who needs a therapist when you have AI.

Stay safe everyone, or whoever is out there.

In line with the most recent posts being angled at “looking for the silver lining”, thought I’d offer a couple in that vein too ….
🌦🌩 weather has become changeable, with rain showers and thunderstorms overnight last night. The positive is, so far rain has not kept us indoors (we only have a scooter as transport in Turkiye).
🪞🪞 a bronze colour mirror, one of a pair, got broken when we moved into the villa … good news is a local business has been able to replace in the right colour. (Having been born on a Friday 13th, I can’t buy into any superstition!)
Well that will do for me for this time.
Belated happy anniversary Verano, hope you and your hubby had a lovely day and that you share many more anniversaries together.

We’ll all seems to have gone very quiet here!
Margaret are you ok?
I’ve had a pulled muscle in my knee and s-g has been unwell also.
Anyway, just thought I would pop in .
Keep well.

Hello.

S-g glad you’re feeling better. Today I am back to 95%. I have had a ‘pulled muscle’ or something in my knee. At first I feared something far worse as over the course of a few days I couldn’t even lift my leg from the ground it was so painful. Just shuffled along! Anyway after several days bed rest it seems to have righted itself. I think it was from doing chair stand ups. S-g it could very well be the squats! Just have to very careful. I’ve decided that even mildly vigorous exercise is just not for me. Don’t want to go through that pain again!

Otherwise, not much to report from this end. Weight moving down gradually.

Looks like we are just two….. turtle doves!

From what I can make out, any combination should work as long as you dont go back to normal eating on the days you go over the 800 cals. Sometimes it does out bodies good to give them a shake up. For me personally, I tend to stick between 800 and 900 cals and on the days I increase I see an immediate weight increase. Maybe it is the food I am adding in, or more like the couple of glasses of wine. Just do what works for you.

Hi V, I too have been under the weather with flu like symptoms but feeling better today. Also I seem to have put my back out – more like siatica pain down one leg. Not sure if its the squats and weights so giving them a miss for now. Weight is not great but still less than I was 3 weeks ago when daughter went home. Have to count the good wherever we can find it.

Dont know where people are, maybe there are a lot more on weight loss drugs. Good for them, my doctor wont let me have them even though I am diabetic.

Hello – I’ve never found any reports of how successful doing a variant is where you have either one or two days off the 800 cals each week. I remember Dr Michael M saying it was quite popular with some people who wanter to be able to eat what they wanted at weekends – I’m just curious to know how much that one or two days is likely to set one back! Anyone any experience of this?

Hi everyone.
Cathy – Good luck with your cruise, I hope you can try to relax and enjoy it.
SueBlue – good luck with your 1st goal, it’d be great to lose your 3-4kg by November.

My weekly weigh in and measure; I lost 1cm off my waist and 500g off the scales. That’s a total of 3.25kg lost in the first 3 weeks and 7cm.
I noticed from my food journal last week that I’m eating closer to 900+ calories per day, so this week I’m measuring more carefully to stick to the 800. Hopefully I lose a little more before I go away for a week with my husband.
Have a good week everyone!

Buying a flat in Sector 150 Noida requires more than comparing property prices. Buyers should also check the condition of the society, metro connectivity, nearby schools and hospitals, maintenance charges, and the actual possession status.

It is also worth visiting the property during peak traffic hours to understand the daily commute. Comparing a few residential projects before making a decision can help buyers find an option that suits their budget and requirements.

For more information, read this guide to ready-to-move flats in Sector 150 Noida.

Sorry not to be here sooner but I’ve been a bit under the weather the last few days but all is well now.

I stared doing some chair exercises a week or so ago which included stand-ups. I think I may have injured my knee! Or maybe my knee has just worn out! Anyway, not feeling my best at the moment. In saying that food wise I’ve been really good and my blood sugar is great so not all doom and gloom.

S-g I’ve gone back to two meals a day but having my first around 9/10ish. Oats with fruit, seeds and nuts and it seems to keep me full until dinner around 6pm. I’m finding that that works better for me. I’m not hungry during the day but I really do think the secret is to mix and match and to throw the body some curved balls time wise. It’s all trial and error as we are all individuals.

S-g looks like so far it’s just you and me …….. “is there anybody out there…..”

Reported

Cathy – just wanted to wish you all the best for your cruise – the Northern Lights, wow! So sorry that you’ve been having such a tough time lately, I went through a very similar experience with my mother in law, and now my father has terminal cancer and dementia, it’s so hard when our parents get older. I hope Monty is on the mend soon, it’s great you have a neighbour you can rely on to look after him.

Arctic Fox – I hope you are doing a bit better now too, I can only imagine how hurt and disappointed you have been feeling.

I’ve been MIA (once again!) as despite my best intentions I fell completely off the wagon in September and early October. I did have my birthday, wedding anniversary and a couple of family events going on. So I’ve kept my Fast 800 online subscription going and am planning to try and stick with it at least for a few weeks. On the plus side I have only gained just under a kilo over the last month, so it could be worse. I have a specialist appointment at the hospital on 8 November so my first goal is to shed 3-4kg by then.
And now I have a new incentive for longer term – some school friends are planning a reunion next September (in the UK). I’m going to try and attend in person, not just for that but I haven’t been ‘back home’ for over 20 years. So my goal for that is to shed about 12kg,
Which will bring me down to a weight and dress size I feel comfortable at 🙂

Hope everyone else is having a good week! I have been reading all of your posts and start to compose replies in my head but then get distracted and forget!
Vinted launched here recently and I’ve been selling items on there which has been taking up quite a bit of time lately. It’s a good way of getting rid of my bigger clothes though, and also decluttering my house!

Sunshine-girl I can see why cancelling Austria has turned out to be a positive and good news about no drones although not about the flu. I love that you can find ‘positives’ despite adversity!

Yesterday I was unwell, today, positive, I’m fine.
Yesterday ate very little, today, positive , I dropped some weight!
Yesterday, my out of town cousin called to say hello, no positive, I was in bed!

Such are the ups and downs in life. We can only hope to have more ups!

Positives today

Good thing I cancelled our driving trip to Austria. Can went in for repair yesterday due to rattling and smell. Guy said we wouldnt have made it back without breaking down. That is called serendipity (my favourite word).
Daughter on flight back from a business trip to Lithuania – good news, no Russian drones but she has come back with the flu.
House now on market with 3 agents – just waiting for them all to list at reduced price. Noticed our neighbours house has just dropped its price by €50,000, so the market is bad.

Life goes on and we keep on keeping on…..

CATHY just jumping on here quickly to wish you a wonderful holiday despite the current circumstances. As your husband says, your MIL is being well cared for whether or not you are there. And I hope that Monty improves before you go, just to put your mind at rest.

Easier said than done I know, but I hope you do manage to relax. And enjoy those Northern Lights!

See you on the other side. And everyone else, let’s all set a small but achievable target for ourselves while Cathy’s away so she has some good news to come back to and feels inspired to get back into it X

Hello everyone
Sorry I’ve not been on for a little while- a lot going on here. My MIL is gravely Ill and we have been expecting the call for the last couple of weeks so it’s been difficult. She has advanced dementia but she seems to he hanging on despite being unresponsive on a couple of occasions two weeks ago. We are due to go on our cruise on Friday and my now cat is really poorly! I took him to the vet yesterday and he had two antibiotics and a steroid injection. The worst timing ever! I’m so stressed and sad. However, I’ve recovered from my fall. My ankle is still sore but I can strap it up. The diet has gone to pot! I weighed at the beginning of the week and I was 144 lb. I never got to my pre holiday 138 lb goal but in the big scheme of things I don’t care!
My neighbour who is cat owner and a cat lover is looking after Monty. We have a reciprocal cat sitting arrangement and I am hoping and praying that Monty will pick up in the next 24 hours! He is due to go back to the vet again tomorrow- he isn’t eating!! It’s not like him at all. Anyway, I’m going to have to try and relax and accept the situation and I can’t do any more. Hopefully I’ll see an improvement tomorrow.
I am ready for my holiday and I will try my hardest to relax and enjoy it – we are going despite the whole situation regarding my MIL. She is in care and my husband feels it’s the right thing to go away. We can’t do any more. What a week.
I’ll be back here when I get home and it won’t be a shock to see the scales but I will work hard when we come home to get it off before Christmas and that is a fact!!! In the meantime I hope everyone is doing OK . See you all soon – 🚢 🌊 excited to see the Northern Lights! 🤞
…. And relax

Verano, it is weight loss. When I feel down I look at my earlier charts and see I have lost 16lbs since starting. It is not great that I cannot seem to lose any more but I can say I have maintained that weight loss for 10 years.

Weigh in and I am up half a kilo. Only to be expected after 2 meals and 2 evenings with wine. Back to being strict, although strict for me is my normal.

I did 20 mins strength exercises yesterday, 10 mins of pilates this morning and doing TRE so not eating after 8pm or before 1pm – around 16 or 17 hrs fasting. Still not getting enough protein.

Looking forward to hearing more goals and tips from others who want to join us.

Sounds like a good plan s-g. I’m still using Tuesday as my weigh-in day. I just can’t get used to other days after years of Tuesdays! So yesterday’s starting weight is in my book.
So far this year I’ve lost the grand total of 2.6lbs! Note to self: must do better in the last quarter of the year!

Didnt get weighed this morning as Chatbot said I would have put on weight after a meal and drinks at our quiz night and not to disappoint myself and make a thing about it. So I will do it tomorrow. We won the quiz again, getting a bit boring as it is either us or one other team so people are not turning up and our numbers are dwindling.

Back tomorrow after my weigh in. Definitely wont be the 1.5kg down I was last week.

I’ve reported the last post. These advertising search bots are getting just a bit too clever!

Anyway while I’m here I watched a really interesting YouTube podcast today. Dr Alex, he’s from the UK, explaining why most people quit a diet after 90 days. It’s titled ‘Why dieting is so hard’. He has other stuff worth watching too and it’s a breath of fresh air to have a UK doctor talking instead of the ever increasing number of American doctors! No offence meant to our US friends!

S-g glad you got your money back for the Restelle. Just shows how careful we should all be with supplements etc. when taking medications and/or have health issues.

AI can be really helpful and that was interesting about fluid weight which, in reality, we all know is true but that ‘number’ still keeps making us unhappy! A1 has just helped me make my first wholemeal loaf! I must admit it’s far better than just following a recipe. It might seem odd that I’m baking bread and bagels, which I only have one a week of. I was listening to a YouTube podcast this morning and the doctor was talking about complex and simple carbs. I think I’ve definitely lost track of the good bits about complex carbs which is why I made the wholemeal bread. I know it’s made with very good high protein flour with all its bits still intact unlike lots of supermarket bread. In saying all that I will probably only have a slice or two on a rare occasion, maybe to make ‘soldiers’ for my dippy eggs! Also I had porridge oats with some oat bran and seeds, nuts, dried cranberries and blueberries this morning and late afternoon and I’m still not hungry! So maybe there is something to be said about introducing more complex carbs, we’ll see.

Arcticfox I did a bit more research about lupini beans but they are hard to source here so I may stay with endame beans which I love. I buy them frozen and just throw a few in with other vegetables.

Have a good week.

Hi Sunny good to hear from you and glad you’re safely back in your ‘other home’! Happy anniversary! It’s ours on the 12th but I’m not saying how many years… too many to count!!!

Just one positive while I’m here….
👍🍞🥯 After the success with my bagels today I baked my first 100% wholemeal loaf. It’s not been out of the oven long and has to rest for two to three hours. It’s looking very rustic but at least I know exactly what’s in it. Made with very strong Canadian wholemeal flour!

That’s it for today.

Hi V, thank you for setting up this thread. I will be with you. I have set myself a goal of losing 4kgs as I want to be 71kgs. Will post here and try to keep on topic – food and diet.

See you tomorrow with my new starting weight after my night out. Looks like I will be back on a Tuesday weigh in.

Hi all, will be joining you on the XMAS thread. Does that mean this one will lapse.

It is always very hard to sell houses in France. Mortgages are almost impossible to get and most people start with inheriting their parents houses – in French law you must leave your assets to your children (in various amounts). The usual second home owners are not buying as there are now higher what you would call council tax on 2nd homes. Even higher than before. Brits arent buying holiday homes because they are restricted to how many days they can spend here and also because of the extra taxes. I had a friend who had her house for sale for 13 years. We still love it here and there is no real rush. It just gets boring sitting around waiting, not being able to plan ahead. For example, we are going on a cruise in April but we cannot dare book a housesitter in case we have to cancel on them. We cant book our crossings as we might not even be living here and lose the money – 3 months is about the amount of time we can plan for as it would take at least 3 months for a sale to go through. We just have to be patient. It took us a year to sell our house in the UK.

Real shame about the Restelle sleep patches as they really did work. I have already received my money back and a nice email from them. I am sure they were the problem as just one night without them and my BG was down to 88 this morning. I am checking twice a day and also my BP as I want to reduce some of my meds that might be causing my night cramps – i.e. I am on 2 fluid tablets which flush out all the good chemicals like potassium, so might be too much. Keeping a record to show doctot. AI has also written a short note in French to show my doctor, outlining my concerns with all the different meds.

Weight is a bit up after a few drinks last night and we are out again tonight for our quiz. When I told AI that I hated that I could gain 1kg just with one meal and wine he said – you know you cant gain that much weight or you would have eaten 7700 calories extra. Then he said something insightful – you know you will have gained and it is fluid and will go in a couple of days, so dont get weighed for 2 days. Simple, stops the despair and guilt.

Have a great week everyone.

A good while since I have posted positives and awhile since the thread was pushed to the top of the list, so thought I’d offer up a few positives to remind people to look out for theirs too.

😍💐 our wedding anniversary today, a relaxing start before we pop out for a little retail therapy. Will go to a fav restaurant for dinner this evening.
😃😃 have been catching up with friends here in Turkiye … always good to reconnect.
🌞🌞 plenty of sunny days and R&R … OH is settling into a more relaxed routine than back in the UK, where he still takes on too much work.

What have been your recent positives? Do tell!

Thank you Arcticfox. They are not very common in the UK but I’ll check them out.

Hi Verano, I use the lupini beans in salads as a substitute for chickpeas, or they are also nice roasted in place of lentils in my broccoli tray bake. They are a bit firmer than chickpeas and take a bit of getting used to but they are much higher in protein and fibre and lower in the starchy carbs. I use them in place of edamame too because I can’t have soy.

So next Thursday we will be 11 weeks from Christmas Eve. Still plenty of time to lose that extra inch or so or even just drop a couple of pounds.

Also, we are very near to the end of the year but we still have a quarter to go. So much time, we can end the year with an overall loss. The loss doesn’t have to be huge, a pound or so will do for us to be able to say “I lost weight in 2026!”

Please travel with us towards Christmas and the New Year.

Hi Arcticfox. Amazing, 87g in one day! I don’t think I’d ever reach that. Must say I’ve never had lupine beans can you give a comparison maybe…. chickpeas??? Yes 30 a week should be easy but I just name it each week and that’s with various seeds and nuts. I always start my week by adding tea, coffee, 70%+ chocolate and now I add my oat cakes which also count apparently. I think maybe I should spend a few days weighing my food to check how much fibre I’m actually getting on an average day.

S-g so sorry to hear your ‘sleeping remedy’ isn’t suitable especially after you’ve had such wonderful sleeps! Maybe there is another product on the market that ‘natural’ but also compliant with insulin.

OK. A new thread…. I’ll set one up now. ‘The goose might be getting fat for Christmas but not us!’

Hi All, I would be happy to join you Verano, are you setting up a new thread.

I have some news. Did I tell you I had ordered some Restelle patches to help me sleep and oh my did they work. It seemed like a blessing – 5 nights in a row, head on pillow, sleep and not waking until around 7am for the toilet. However, I still had to go back to bed and was very groggy. Then I noticed my BG has been in the 140 to 160 range over the last 4 readings. I asked AI if there was a correlation and he said YES, it makes your body think it is daytime so doesnt do the night-time things it should like pump insulin and get rid of glucose. It is also interferring with my insulin and other diabetes meds. This is just a warning as it is advertised as the natural sleep aid. I am so disappointed as I have had the best sleeps in years but cannot use it. Hopefully there is a 30 money back guarantee so I should get my money back. But that is not the point, they dont say anything about not taking it if this that or the other, no medical information. Just be careful of ‘Natural’ remedies if you have a health problem or on medications.

Weight still steady and will do a proper Renpho weigh in tomorrow which includes all the body numbers like fat, muscle etc. For my chart.
