Hope you are ok Auto?

Jx

Soprano

Did you make it over to the UK?

Jx

Soprano

Welcome back, you've taken a sensible approach, stick with it.

Jx

Soprano

Would be good to see you back!

Jx

Soprano

Don't count calories. Trust the process

That was me, good to see you back

Jx

Soprano

That's great news

Jx

Soprano

Welcome back

Jx

Soprano

It's great to read how well you are doing

Jx

Soprano

Sounds sensible

Jx

Soprano

Well done on your losses to date, it's not a race, slow and sustainable is what counts.

Jx

Soprano

Welcome back!

Interesting to read your experience. Hope you get back on track for your health.

Take care.

Jx

Soprano

Well done

Jx

Soprano

Welcome, sounds like you got off to a great start.

Jx

Soprano

I have lost over a stone following No's and a little IF. Don't think of it as a diet though. It's a journey to better eating habits that help you lose and maintain

Jx

Soprano

You are doing great

Jx

Soprano

Auto you are so supportive of everyone, I'm sure no one will mind if you don't always post on their threads. Though I think we all welcome your support and expertise, thank you

Jx

Soprano

Hope you are ok?

Jx

Soprano

I love what you are doing re drink, focusing on how something makes us feel to make better future decisions is much better than just setting rules. I have been doing similar though not actually journalling

Jx

Soprano

Thanks auto, glad your sugars are stable. I currently only take a blood sugar test once a week. The last one which had gone up was the morning after a low carb day. Evening meal was early and was an omelette with sausage bacon and red pepper, hence my surprise.... I'm hoping it is just a dawn effect...

Soprano

Pinkie, so hope your dog is ok. It's horrible watching them get old. Fingers crossed it's nothing more serious than her teeth.

Always looking for ways to make and eat fish since my entire family pretty much hates it.

I have been serving salmon with sweet red peppers, onion courgette and couscous. Just fry everything, mix couscous with hot water then add to pan, lovely with a splash of sweet chilli sauce.

Jx

Soprano

Congratulations on the 128,. So pleased for you

How are your morning blood sugars? Mine seem to be all over the place at the moment!

Jx

Soprano

That's why my weigh day is Friday

Jx

Soprano

Congratulations, you got this.

Jx

Soprano

Whoop looks like Sunday was a good day in many ways! Go you, let's hope March continues to put a spring in your step

Jx

Soprano

Don't worry about dropping a ball, they bounce and some might just roll away!!!

Jx

Soprano

Congratulations on the role, hope you enjoy the trip, when are you coming over?

Jx

Soprano

Great news re the 120s patience it will soon be more than a dip

I used to love weights but really hate gyms these last few years. I found some good toning and strength can be developed with yoga. Also great for suppleness.

Jx

Soprano

Hope you recover soon.

Break down the development of new habus. Perhaps start by stopping snacks between just 2 meals to start with.

Good luc
Jx

Soprano

Auto as said by Linda and Pink, you are a very encouraging person on here and always so positive

I am crossing everything in the hope you break 130 tomorrow!!

You seem to have your eating back on track, just a little patience now.

Keep on being you, we love you.

Jx

Soprano

Pleased to hear the removal was pain free.

I hate it when I wake at daft o'clock and can't get back to sleep.

Good luck with the evening routine

Jx

Soprano

Thanks Pinkh, not giving up is what will get us there

Jx

Soprano

I've been eating 2 meals a day for a while and feel better for it.

I have been trying 16hrs fasted but do have something to drink sooner if I need it.

Good luck

Jx

Soprano

Congratulations on your loss

Jx

Soprano

No news is good news!

Jx

Soprano

Thanks auto, we should have seen him at Christmas but with tier restrictions we couldn't.

I'm hoping my blood sugar increases are because of the 16 hour fasts which will be a good thing, if not a slight worry.

Jx

Soprano

I have consistent success by cutting carbs and not worrying about fats.

If you stick to 2 meals a day make sure there is sufficient fat and protein in the meals.

Keep at it.

Jx

Soprano

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Life might seem hard at the moment but treasure them whilst they are young, they grow and leave so soon.

Jx

Soprano

I agree totally that weight loss as the only goal does seem to take too much willpower.

I'm in this for health reasons now, weight loss and vanity were the reasons I started but health is keeping me going. I'd actually be happy weight wise if I didn't lose any more but my health needs me to.

Jx

Soprano

So Christmas is well and truly behind us. I never weigh straight away after hols. I usually give it a couple of weeks of normal eating. I put a 1lb on over Christmas and strangely another half the week after that. However just to make the point that just keeping going works regardless of scales yest...

Soprano

So sorry you are having a bad time Pink. Life is really difficult for so many right now.

Auto is right you are a great mum to your kids. Try and take some time out just for you.

Jx

Soprano

Just keep on trying, eventually you'll have more compliant days.

Jx

Soprano

Auto, sorry to read you are feeling low. We are living in strange times. Go easy on yourself, it's hard to plan when everything is changing by the week.

Your walks sound good, concentrate on things that make you feel good. Life doesn't have to be a battle.

Hugs

Jx

Soprano

15 videos is a big ask but I reckon you could do it if you set your mind to it

Jx

Soprano

I agree a win, I don't think of 1 or 2 squares quality dark chocolate as a sweet.

another failure yesterday... and weight is up again... now i'm 277...
will try hard today to do well
will report again tomorrow...

Try marking your success one meal at a time

Jx

Soprano

Good luck, auto. Love your spiritial focus. I keep reminding myself people have lived through worse through the ages. Why would we expect to not have to face some adversity. Doesn't stop me wanting it all to be over though

Jx

Soprano

Good luck with the job interview. I recently left a stressful job. Much happier now.

Jx

Soprano

Hey Deb, remember even a fail doesn't necessarily mean a gain, great that you can now recognise and acknowledge them it's half the battle to making a better choice next time.

Jx

Soprano

Big congratulations on maintaining your 10lb loss, that's a real Biggie

Love your plan, quite similar to what mine has morphed into. I like a little IF but usually 14 to 16 hrs and not everyday.

Jx

Soprano

Good to hear from you, that all sounds so sensible and moderate. I'm sure it will be a success for you.

Jx

Soprano

Oh no, poor flowerpup. So pleased you had the foresight to opt for surgery. Eek re vet bill hope you have pet insurance!

Jx

Soprano

Congratulations, lovely news to start the year. Follow your appetite and instinct, your body will know what it needs.

Jx

Soprano

Welcome, l am sure you will have success.

Jx

Soprano

Hi Auto, yes we live on the very outskirts of Manchester. We are lucky 20 mins drive to city centre or 10 mins to Cheshire countryside. We have the best of both worlds, great transport links and shopping but lovely parks and open spaces. Congratulations on finishing the videos. Your communication sk...

Soprano

Happy new year everyone. Wishing you all peace health and happiness in 2021.

Looking forward to following your journeys, thank you for sharing your stories and support.

Jx

Soprano

Walking always lifts my mood. I don't get out every day now we haven't got a dog. Luckily my new job is close enough to walk if the weather is dry. And friends who have a dog often call if they are going out with theirs

Jx

Soprano

Auto I really appreciate your input on this, I must admit the headlines of it goes against everything I have read and which made sense to me.

Thank you, I'll save my pennies

Jx

Soprano

Oolala, just had a look at that book, I think it may have to go on my list. Have you finished reading it, what are your thoughts?

Jx

Soprano

Oh so sorry you are having a bad time, hope you get your walk and feel better for it.

I was back in work today, didn't fancy it but it was fine when I got there.

Hang on in there, you'll get the videos done, you are a great teacher.

Jx

Soprano

Good luck with your goals. Interesting history there too

Jx

Soprano

Hope you feel better soon. My eating hasn't been overly excessive but not the best choices

Jx

Soprano

Merry Christmas

Jx

Soprano

Merry Christmas

Jx

Soprano

Whoop, well done on your success onwards and upwards, or downwards on the scale

Jx

Soprano

So pleased to read your success story. Well done

Jx

Soprano

Resist that diet gremlin, the fat will go.

Jx

Soprano

Yes they are waiting for ferries. I just hope they make it home for Christmas.

Jx

Soprano

Auto, you got this, I feel you are reaching your turning point.

Hang on in there

Jx

Soprano

Auto I know you'll get back on track, just build on your successes.

Jx

Soprano

Scary dream. It does really seem your mind is feeling overwhelmed and trying to find a release. I'm awake at daft o'clock worrying about a past work issue. I'm sure it's connected to the unsettling period we are living in at the moment. With the added usual stress of Christmas. Hope we all find some...

Soprano

Sounds like you are in a really good place, well done.

Jx

Soprano

Sounds like you have the right attitude this time, I'm sure you will find your groove. We are all learning and adapting. I wasn't necessarily advocating low carb, IE or fasting. I just found what Ilearned about from them helped Nos click. Those that appear to do well do seem to adapt Nos to work for...

Soprano

A moment to reflect. I was that person who could never eat just one chocolate, who right after finishing one meal was planning the next. Who no matter how full I was would cram in dessert, who was overweight and lethargic. Who despite generally being good at cooking from scratch ate too many process...

Soprano

I have just read your post. I really feel for you. That person that doesn't think about food in between meals is available to everyone but it's a journey getting there. Don't put off starting just because Christmas is looming, to lose weight and keep it off you have to make permanent changes. Stop t...

Soprano

Well done on the videos.

I'm sure you'll get on top of the food and drink when the time is right.

Jx

Soprano

Pleased to hear you are feeling a tiny bit better, hope it is soon a lot

The news is so depressing, I must admit this past 9 months I have watched a lot too when previously I rarely did.

Here's hoping things improve for us all next year.

Jx

Soprano

Thanks auto, you remembered well. I was a finance manager in a hospice but I am now an accountant in practice, a job I did whilst training and for 23 years before I went to the hospice. Work is much less stressful in that my days are calmer, fewer interruptions and demands on me but a lot to catch u...

Soprano

Congratulations, well done.

Jx

Soprano

Thanks Jen it is a stressful time of year, hope you are ok.

Jx

Soprano

Pleased to hear you are both recovering. Take it easy

Jx

Soprano

Thanks auto, I will do some testing around meals at some point :) The physical symptoms are anxiety related. A sense of not being able to breathe deep enough and general edginess at times. I think possibly related to covid, worrying about mum after losing dad and what the relaxing of rules over Chri...

Soprano

I sympathize auto, I feel like I'm only just holding it together with the covid situation. But I know I'm suffering some underlying anxiety from the physical symptoms I have.

Just but sure what to do about it. Yet in some ways I'm really happy.

Wierd times

Jx

Soprano

Thanks auto, I'm hoping the morning reading wasn't a one off!!

I suppose I should do some pre and post meal readings. How long after eating do you recommend to test?

Jx

Soprano

So hard watching our kids taking knocks in life. Creator sounds like he's got something special. I'm sure you are right and he'll do just fine. Especially with you for his mum

Jx

Soprano

Yes bought a while ago. I did play around a bit in the beginning but now I'm going to monitor once a week.

It's a year until my next HaB1c And I'm determined to get it to normal levels. I figure if my morning readings are dropping, things should be looking good for the HaB1c?

Jx

Soprano

My morning blood sugar was 5.6 last week it was 6.8 week before 6.3 and before that 6.0.

I wonder if my liver has now dumped all sugar stored and possibly insulin resistance improving.

Jx

Soprano

Welcome back to you both.

Giving up smoking is a great achievement.

Good luck both

Jx

Soprano

Hard to support teachers when you know that they are wrong. Pretty poor on her part.

Jx

Soprano

Congratulations on finishing your internship and your green days

Jx

Soprano

Thanks, auto and Pink

I got on the scales again this morning and have dropped to 9st 13lb.

Whilst I'm loving the weight loss my main motivation at the moment is to improve my blood sugars

Jx

Soprano

When I wrote the post on 25th October I was 10st 3.5. Scales showing 10st this morning that's 1st 3.5lbs lighter than when I started Nos. Like others I have adapted it to suit me along the way. I no longer have s days and really don't miss sweet stuff. My indulgence is a square or 2 of quality dark ...

Soprano

Well done on a green Friday. It's so true that it's not the fail that upsets the apple cart but what you do afterwards

Jx

Soprano

I'm glad you've found your groove, it will be interesting to hear of your progress.

I think we all end up adapting our accumulated knowledge to suit ourselves on the end

Jx

Soprano

She sounds wonderful and I always felt safe walking with a dog. I think my last collie would have protected me but the one before not so sure. Both exceptionally clever. I don't think we will get another anytime soon. My husband didn't want Pix because of the commitment and the fact you are tied. Bu...

Soprano

Wow that year with flowerpup has gone fast.

Jx

Soprano

It's wierd how moderation is so easy some weeks and not on others. I've managed to moderate my drinking days to 3 and not too much when I do. But Christmas is looming!!

Jx

Soprano

Well done finishing the video

Jx

Soprano

You will have to cut right down on your carb consumption, eating carbs makes you want more. Either go cold turkey or do it systematically and slowly. You won't be able to have a lot on s days unless you want to be starting again every Monday. I'd cut as much obvious sugary stuff as you can first. Wh...

Soprano

Hope you're ok this time
