im following slimming world, have done for a few years now but it wasnt going so well id lose a bit and gain a lot in the end i was actually heavier than i was when i started

i was diagnosed with diabetes the week before i lost the 9 1/2 lbs and cut out carbs and had a few good losses but now im eating carbs again (sugar levels go high and i feel sick) and the losses have been low and slow, last week i didnt have as many carbs and really upped my fluids (water with slices of cucumber lemon and lime) it seems to be holding back the water retention too normally in thjis heat my feet are painful and like balloons

im sat in front of a huge fan at the moment hating the heat i really dont do well in summer as get over heated and in the winter im constantly freezing there is no in between for me

It was 35 in the shade here yesterday in Central Western France but luckily my house is very cool with the shutters closed.
