That must have been upsetting - sending you a hug. I will never forget the horror of seeing my scalp shine through my hair for the first time - makes me feel a bit sick even now. Even though I didnt clock the shedding and just the outcome, I can appreciate you are probably feeling the creeping horror. With acne going on, I…

Me too ! I find having my sweet thing when I am hungry is lovely, but doesnt do much for hunger which makes me a little dissatisfied with what I have eaten. So I have it after a meal, usually in the evening, but it has been known after breakfast.....

This. As soon as I started weighing and logging, I got a bit of a shock ..... which propelled me in the right direction and that was after I had adjusted for my health markers recent flirtation with T2. A potential second step is walking if you are able. Walking has also been a revelation for me in terms of mental health…

Welcome !!

There is loads of good info on MFP and even more opinion about what everyone should and shouldnt be doing. If it works for you and you are keeping an eye on your overall health markers / nutrition, then it works for you :)

Forgot to say well done on the fasting BG !

EVOO - I try to punt for any fat with anti-inflammatory properties.

I walk 5 miles a day and keep my net carbs between 50 and 100g and am still in ketosis - so depending on your exercise levels, you may have some more flexibility in the range you go for. I track carbs and let the cards fall where they may with protein and fat, depending on what I fancy. I tend to prefer fat as I find it…

Hello OP - same requests as everyone else for stats and data. Also, are you monitoring your blood glucose ?

Hello OP - could hormones be an issue ?

This ! I started taking an iron supplement without a test and it made things worse, mainly because I wasnt iron deficient in the first place.... When I did do blood tests, turns out my D3 levels were completely MIA and I was peri-menopausal *sniffles*. I am blaming hormone brain #denial P.S Sorting D3 out sorted an awful…

I factor in nice things I like into my daily plan - if I am going away for the weekend or to an event, I try to stay mindful about what I am eating and why, but essentially enjoy it and get back on plan as soon as is possible. I do like the mindset that this is a way of eating rather than a diet, and as such, its has to…

What would we do without cauliflower ?!

Hi OP and well done on the weight loss so far AND nailing what sounds like a sustainable approach for you so early on ! MFP is a great source of info - its also a great source of opinion on what everyone else should or could be doing (or not). If it ain't broke, don't try and fix it. If you are feeling a little anxious,…

Having a lower carb diet suits me as my markers have recently flirted with the T2 criteria - for me, it gives a decent level of satiation. Spolier alert: this macro mix doesnt work for everyone and for a successful woe, it really does need to be sustainable. Only you can decide what is sustainable for you - asking us…

Hello OP - is there something in particular that appeals to you about Herbalife ? There are probably other options out there for you depending on what you are trying to achieve.

I had my gallbladder out in about 1997 when I was 25 - it just got the hump, they could'nt work out why. I was grateful to see the little blighter go. It hasnt impacted my weightloss or gain for that matter :) I would say that my liver does get a bit grumpy if I am eating too much highly processed foods but am not sure if…

Here's some reference material if interested: https://www.ncl.ac.uk/press/articles/latest/2018/12/diabetesdiettrialledbynhs/ Its accepted with this approach that it will not work for everyone, same as the previous established diet recommended for T2's of high carb low fat was unhelpful to some in the UK. These are not the…

My partner has some freaky metabolism so can eat a high level calories per day without putting on weight (damn him !). He also likes calorie dense food so even if I went for a small portion of what he was having, it wouldnt be that satisfying for me. So the quick answer is, we have different meals :).
-
As above, its meant to kickstart a rapid weightloss for those who are T2, the aim being to drop the lard pdq from around the organs if thin on the oustide, fat on the inside, or just plain old fat all over (that would be me then). The objective is to get the T2 markers relevant to you down quickly - weight, waist size, BP,…

Well done on the impressive stats ! Just an fyi for anyone new to keto - you do not have to drop carbs this low to get the benefits of keto !
-
Walking is the exercise I do every day - I walk our dogs twice a day and its close to 5miles / 10k steps in total and its hilly - I am still huffing in parts and its been 3 months ! I have changed my woe at the same time, weight and blood pressure are both well down on the pretty awful starting point. Walking sometimes…

Well done on the weight loss !!

Hello OP and well done for not ignoring the warning signs. I was in your position with age and health markers in Feb when I started changing my ways in earnest - age hasnt changed (boooo) but I am 40lbs down and am sure you will be soon enough ! If you want to do 'friends', ping me. Wishing you good health OP !

My scales broke this weekend and I am waiting on my replacements (live rurally) - was surprised at the slight brain meltdown as I tried to eyeball portions again. Have always appreciated my scales - now I know they are critical to me :open_mouth:
-
Looking good girl ! And I have to say, less than 200 lb as well ! Congrats on the weightloss !

Water and tea, made and drunk the Brit builder way. I'd rather chew my calories where poss.

I am sure you have chosen this approach for reasons that are relevant to you and I wish you good results with it. I am on Keto with no meat and very low fish, dairy and eggs. Most of my fat comes via EVOO and you really are not glugging a lot of that to get your fat requirement. I can eat an awful lot of roasted veg :).…

A great encouragement for others to listen to thier bodies and act - I am glad you are currently not in pain.
