Brilliant will let you know what happens once it’s a definite confirmation by DCUK and also where planning to stay. Hoping Debandez will hear tomorrow re date confirm.@shelley262 I’d love to come up Friday too. I’m so looking forward to meeting you. I was feeling really glum this afternoon thinking I wouldn’t be able to make it, but very happy now!
I'm so glad too! That's fantastic. I'm going to get more details from Natalie tomorrow and get things set in stone so we can start planning. Woohooo.@Debandez I can do 1st Sept, I’m really glad the date has changed!
I’m happy to help in any way.

Hi @Debandez just had my MOT and lost another 5kg in 2 weeks that's just 3lb short of 4 stone in 3 months! ( I still have another 5 days till full 3 months is up so could do 4 stone LOL) so you could add that! All done by fasting every day, support on here and LCHF.IDEAS WELCOME.
Following suggestions I'm going to look into the low carb programme. The success stories (they go way back and it's probable many aren't on the forum now having reached their goals but may love to participate). I'm going to write directly to Dr David Unwin. He is the local GP who advocates the LCHF woe to his patients. and other pro's. I may speak to my own surgery. Patient confidentiality may prove a barrier there. I'm speaking to a local keto online store who made contact after my article went in the paper. Lots of weight loss and they may be diabetic. Anyone can quickly register on DCUK and who knows they may already have found us!
IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS PLEASE THROW THEM IN THE POT.
I would love to think we could bag the 'LOOK....WE LOST 100 STONE BY DITCHING THE CARBS AND BEAT DIABETES' KIND OF HEADLINE. IT MAY BE A NICE ROUND FIGURE OF 50 WHICH IS A GREAT STARTING POINT IN ITSELF!!!
THANK YOU ALL.
Brilliant news @Terrytiddy well done you and delighted that you are happy to join in and sounds like it will be 4 stones for the total calculator!Hi @Debandez just had my MOT and lost another 5kg in 2 weeks that's just 3lb short of 4 stone in 3 months!

That is nothing short of PHENOMINAL!!!! I gasped reading it. It's a breathtakingly good result. You must feel on top of the world. I would love to incorporate your journey/ story into our event. Can you make it to Birmingham on 1st September at all. If not don't worry. I've asked natalie if we can include those not able to attend in the figures. She has yet to confirm but i expect she will say yes as for many reasons not everyone who would love to support will be able to for so many reasons. WELL DONE AND I HOPE YOU MAKE YOUR GOAL IN 5 DAYS TIME.Hi @Debandez just had my MOT and lost another 5kg in 2 weeks that's just 3lb short of 4 stone in 3 months!

Coming down by the minute!!!! You are smashing it!!!Not sure about meeting yet. Have to say I do feel great I will make it 4 stone as when I convert it to stones and pounds I'm just 2lb 2oz short LOL.
@geefull you also have been on an incredible journey. I would love to include your journey in our event if you don't mind. I know you cant make it on the 1st september. I realise not everyone who would like to be there can be for various reasons. When I saw your before and after photos I was in awe of what you have done. You look phenominal. You are an inspiration that's for sure. And you are now guiding others down the LCHF path and that's just amazing too. The more we spread the word the more they will have to listen!!!Brilliant news @Terrytiddy well done you and delighted that you are happy to join in and sounds like it will be 4 stones for the total calculator!
@Debandez great that date is confirmed really looking forward to it
@geefull know you can’t make it down to Birmingham but are you happy to add your weight loss to the target if so @Debandez could PM you about details needed
Hi Deb not sure if you saw my post yesterday on page 6. I have lost over 2 stone and HBa1c down from 54 to 41 to 37 in 6 months. I am not one for before and after am very camera shy but happy for my story to be included if it helps. I think its more important to inform the public about LC success. I am not convinced much will change as regards public health advice though people should be encouraged to be more responsible in managing THEIR diabetes. Sometimes people are too scared not to toe the line laid down by the professionals and need more self belief.IDEAS WELCOME.

Sorry to hear about your friend. I hope they make a speedy recovery. You don't have to be there but your help behind the scenes will be invaluable. One of our AA team. Armchair advocate. Love that.Its always going to be nigh impossible for me to travel far to meetings as I have family responsibilities and am supporting a good friend with cancerdoing chemo at the mo.
Carol we are very similar - I was diagnosed in May 2015 at 97 so not long after you! Would imagine we’d had it a while before it was diagnosed.7/3/15 diagnosis of A1c 97mmol/L, weight 13st 1lb (83kg)
19/7/18 A1c 39mmol/L, weight 8st 6lbs (54kg)
A bit more to add to the total.
