Was under calories yesterday and all healthy nutritional food. Unfortunately I woke up at 1am starving, but my blood sugars were fine so I ignored it. Today I am on track so far, but I am still really really hungry for some reason. Hopefully it will pass. Only 10.45am and I've had my weetabix for breakfast and banana and…

That must have been really scary. I am 42 next week and something like that happening scares the life out of me.

I am thinking of getting one, do you find it good? I am worried about wearing it at work due to RSI when typing so I am still in the deciding stage considering they are not cheap.

I find myself eating a lot of eggs also and beetroot.

For me getting better control on my blood sugars is a great achievement. I still have a way to go to get them right as I keep having hypos, but at least they are low enough to have a hypo, last time before this March was Christmas 2014.

On target so far today and planning on staying that way. Need to lose the 3lb I've gained whilst being poorly.

Still suffering, so don't think there will be much activity.

Not my official weigh in day until Friday, but I wanted to see what damage I had done whilst poorly. I didn't stay under 300lb for long, back up to 301.5lb today :(

Still been comfort eating and feeling sorry for myself whilst poorly. Back at work tomorrow and determined to get back on track.

Checking in but still poorly so only half here :(

I measure just above a uk 5 but very very wide. Usually end up with a 6 that give me blisters cos they slotch. The places that do half sizes don't do wide fitting. I really need some good trainers.

I manually created my 45 minute Aquafit class and put it at 1 calorie. That way I can log my exercise without it adding calories as I don't want to use them.

Turns out my migraine was actually a sinus infection, so I've been ill since Friday :( and I've been comfort eating including lots of chocolate. Got antibiotics now and should be back at work on Wednesday and back on track.

I really haven't moved off the sofa today, terrible migraine :'(

I am currently going through the process of bariatric surgery. It's been a long slow process. My sister and my diabetes nurse have been suggesting it for years but it always scared me. Finally in September 2014 I asked my doctor to refer me after gaining weight on insulin and being told I have background retinopathy. I had…

I'm here but poorly so not sure how the day will go.

LCSt68 - Wow that is a very sad story, but even though I don't know you I am so proud of you for sharing it. It can't have been easy, but hopefully it will be a big step in achieving everything you want. I'm so glad you now have a supportive husband and hopefully a happier life. You have joined a good group and we will…

I test all the time in public and don't worry about it. I am insulin dependent so I have no choice. I even inject in public. I just discreetly lift up the bottom of my top to inject. The only time I have gone to the toilet to do it is when I had a full length dress on. No way to discreetly lift that up to your stomach. It…

There are a lot of forums for people with diabetes that I found very useful. When I was first diagnosed 9 years ago the advice was to follow the British Heart Foundation healthy heart diet. But that advised to base every meal around carbs. I found if i did that I would always run high. I read a lot of forums and did a lot…

I did a 45 minute aquafit session yesterday. Today I am really not feeling very well and I am so tired. So my intention today is to leave work at 4pm and then lay on the sofa and not move :( Hopefully by giving in to my body today, I will have the energy to do something tomorrow.

I love how many people are going for this challenge. I think it is going to be a great 15 months :D

Glad you joined LCSt68 :) I get weighed every day also as I find it helps to keep me focused. But I only record it on a Friday. So don't worry if it goes up one day, just choose the best day for you to record it.

Well done :D

Here :)

Official weigh in this week 2.75lb lost. That is a total of 17lb in March :)

Came in just under calories today but went over on carbs.

I have dextrose tablets if I need them. I am not allowed to drive under 5 so seem to be using them a lot since starting back on this.

I have just gone hypo :'( I've had some grapes and two weight watchers biscuits, which were my planned 3pm snack. But if my levels don't rise soon I am going to have to have something else and that will make me go over on my calories :(
