Are you going to do the fat fast as you said ? Have you started a new thread for it yet? I would like to try it just to maintain my weight, as I feel certain I will pile weight on, just sitting about or walking quite carefully,
Do we need a set menu, or do we make it up as we go along?

I am mooting it as we speak - haven't eaten yet Vs 3 bratwursts in the fridge for supper tonight. Not even worth contemplating how much bratty you could have on a FF.

Sod it - might as well start. Haven't planned it like last time so will just wing it. I'll set up a different thread later (just dossing from work at the mo). Won't be eloquent but then again you don't really need a lot to get going on a Fat Fast, In a nut shell you are limited by the numbers/ratios.

Morning one and all. 5.0 fasting today.

As for the question Moshe. I have to admit I've not ordered anything from this company before. It turned up in an online pharmacy search I performed earlier this year, but I ended up using a different company to place my order as farmaline didn't have the item I wanted in stock. So, I'm afraid I'm unable to personally recommend them. I always use an online review company before buying anything from an unknown source. Having just done so with farmaline! I see their reviews are very mixed. Some excellent blog recommendations, as well as some dodgy reviews. That's a shame. :( But I have an idea! :D

EDIT UPDATE: I've placed a small order with farmaline this morning. I'll report back when my order arrives. Seemed the best way to test out a new company.

Thanks from the heart:-)

Hola @Merrylizard1314

Good thinking - it's not recommended to exercise a great deal on a FF so come join me. I've opened a new thread in Type 2 diabetics. Only problem is I have to somehow fit 35 miles into this week - should be fun!
 
6.7 at 6 AM
6.3 at 7:55 AM before breakfast of Bacon & Eggs
6.7 at 9:43 AM

No idea why it is so high today :eek:
 
A bit worried last night as bs in am was 8.3, 6.8 before bed but low and behold 6.8 this am! :)

Yes various places locally sell the needle drums but they work out cheaper on Ebay as do the strip cassettes....still very expensive which makes them a non starter for me. I will use the Codefree meter and the Fastclix lancet...anything for less painful fingers. I was fine until I opened a new pack of lancets for the Codefree and soon after starting to use them my fingers have become ridiculously painful to the point where I have had to limit how many times I am testing daily to allow them to recover a little. Finding a Fastclix lancet on its own proved a non starter so bought the complete kit to get one. The meter will be a back up for the future should the Codefree fail at any time

Good afternoon @loulou99782 and @Gezzabelle

As I promised I went by the pharmacy from where I purchase my FastClix lancet cartridges, and I asked the pharmacist, Mr Janssen, if they take mail delivery orders through phone and/or email for cartridges and strips, and the answer was positive. The only thing he asked was if the people who may contact him for such services live in the UK, I presume for mailing purposes. You can find them online at:
http://ndchemist.com/
As there are two ND Pharmacies in Birmingham, please be informed that the one I've been using for the past 5 years now, is the one at :
456 College Road, phone number 01213509679.
Besides the email address given on the "Contact Us" tab, Mr. Janssen also gave me:
[email protected]
If you think so, please get in touch and ask about prices, delivery mode etc for the items you want. As a mentioned, I purchased today another 200+4 box of FastClix cartridge lancets, for £10.
Of course, as I said before, you will probably need to discuss prices, delivery mode etc individually.
And as we live in an age of disclosures, I have to mention, that besides purchasing from them for the past 5 years, I am in no way associated with them, I have no interest, nor any other advantage from passing on this information. I just thought to help if possible, as I have received myself so much support on this forum.:-)

Thank you MosheBenYehuda. I am feeling really tired after a day of hospital appointments for both me and Dad. Got a quiet day tomorrow just the knitting group in the morning. Going to have an early night so good night all :)
 
Tuesday 7th July 4.4mmol/l at 6.15am. Ketones 1.7.
Colourful sky this morning when I went out to get some logs.
I am on my own this week- the others have gone to the mountains, which gives me an opportunity to fat fast for a few days, without being lured into delicious indulgences.

Stay safe and well, everyone.

Great stuff. Join me on the ff thread.
 
7.1 mmol / L this morning (well, yesterday morning!)
5.2 mmol / L at bed time (the night before).

Busier than Satan!

Be well all.
 
5.3 yesterday and 5.0 this morning - not too bad after going to bed on 6.5 after a supper of strawberries and cream
 
4.8 fasting this morning. Cooler night, so sleeping better, thankfully. Wish I wasn't feeling so low however. Struggling. It's a pain in the butt. Anyway, at the risk of sounding dumb...what exactly is a fat fast, & why do it? I'm curious, but wish Baruney & MerryLizzard well with their project.
