hi daisy

thanks for the congats i thought i would be in big doo doo because of the angina so was really suprised and happy.

Rob... :D
 
Well done Rob, what an absolute star...looked through all your tests, and you are proof that there is a huge opportunity to improve all of our lives if we really want to.....

Well done Rob, to stave off medicines is brilliant....and long may it continue.....
 
thank you so much donnellysdogs,
i just was so fed up with my weight and diagnosis that i think it became really important for me to alter the tables a little but could not do it without the advice and support from this forum and will say am still just as determined. :D

thank you all,
i must be mad today is my youngests birthday and our tradition was always to allow the birthday person to pick a meal and today he wanted my meatball bolognese made the way i always did so no prizes for guessing.............
YEP i did not hold off so well :oops:
oh well back to the low carbs :)
Rob.......... :D
p.s it was sooo good :twisted:
 
Hi Rob :) Glad you enjoyed it and your son too. No harm in having an occasional treat. Just get back to diet straight away as you have done. I have a small treat every day (counting the carbs in my daily total) - I have that to think about when I am tempted to stray and the thought of it keeps me on track. :) Did you play Mr Tambourine Man for him? Or does he think it's too "old-fashioned" :lol:
 
Hi Rob,

Thats great news - as somebody who has just been diagnosed - can you give me further information on how you have managed to acheive this?

I also hope that I can avoid the medications for as long as possible with diet and life style change
