    This 8 week 800 calorie a day thing

    Hi. My layman's advice would be to stick with the metformin ( with meals, not before) for as long as you can tolerate it. Pls Google this drug, it could be a life saver...that said, it will do you little harm ( based on the small potted history) to have a go at this diet/regime. I know nothing...

    This 8 week 800 calorie a day thing

    Bloody well done! Been away and tied up with the new motor! I'm doing about 800 to 1000 a day BUT did have a carby wobble last week, whilst in Italy. 8lb is great as is 6cm.... Nice to see that you also mix your imperial and SI units.

    Sore feet

    It's a relief to know that sore feet can be treated and any initial neuropathy reversed. I've stopped my route marches due to a similar problem..though it looks like chilblains, possibly caused by putting ice cold boots on- having left them in the car boot overnight. I was told by my DN (...

    Exactly...that's my point. I now 'know' two people for eating wasn't much fun. Anyway...ones consumption of the best part of 3 bottles of MUMm champers ( it is mummy's day) and a load of dim sums ( I can't not eat rubbish if I'm having a drink) as ended up with a 8.4 after 90 mins. Smacked...

    ....where did I go anywhere suggesting that I know everyone.?? Of course my experience is limited, like yours and everyone else's on this planet ( sweet baby Jesus). That said..I did know someone who add an issue with eating but that's MND for you...and he wasn't diabetic. I hope that eating...

    Damaging a thyroid gland is rare but you have my sympathy. The perceived wisdom is that the body 'Needs' 1500cal a day to function. If it gets that from food, then OK. Any deficit will be met via fat and or Muscle stores. I'm comfortable in accepting that this is not cut and dried, as the human...

    You really must chill out.I'm under the knife in May having my C6 vertebrae lobbed ( due to paralysis in my right arm...the direct result of being in a non fault RTA in 2014. )The point I was making, albeit clumsily as you are quite sensitive and is now fully understandable, so pls forgive me...

    Happy Mummy's Day..

    To all mums and dads...as you don't get one without the other. One has celebrated with a couple bottle of MUMMS champers...as it's quite appropriate. I won't be checking my blood today, as I suspect that I might be a tad over the ideal No... I wish you all well!

    Well..OK...but I bet that your total weight gain took many many years. 2 stone on so quickly is very impressive and I hope that it was enjoyable....I mean that, as we rarely eat lettuce and cabbage leaves and gain weight! The thing is that you became accustomed to your new weight very quickly...

    Again, I didn't actually suggest that those in the 'my' 3rd category ..I put ???? Of course,that could imply that they don't deserve my own support ( not that my support is worth more than anyone else)..but those who help themselves seem to react better to help. I do appreciate I that I may have...

    Unless we are sat watching them, how on Gods Green Earth do we know how 'hard' someone is really trying? You see, it's a relative term. Hence why I put a deliberate caveat in How hard do likes of me actually try? You see, I will usually walk about 60miles a week, across the local moors. That...

    YOUR'E famous... ( like meeeee ;-) ) I'm sure that I will get shouted down for this but there seem to be 3 types of Type2ers. Those like YOU and many others who get a grip of it and roll with the punches if/when set backs occur. Those who do appear to try BUT can never seem to hit the giddy...

    That's simply excellent! I've dropped my met to 500mg a day ( YES....that's MY decision and I'm not advocating this at all...that's a note before someone tries to tear me a new bottom), as I do get a touch of tummy ache in the evening. Met is often described as a wonder drug..with positive...

    Bloods in 5s is perfect...your exercise plan is great too. We are advised to take 10k steps a day. That is **** hard, in terms of time consuming, if you have a sedentary job. Forgive me for not going through the thread again, what meds..if any..are you now on?

    That's only a reasonably sized poo.....a lb or so either way is nothing to worry about. Your weight is dropping and that's the important bit...
