Message: <blockquote data-quote="Louwalker71" data-source="post: 214974" data-attributes="member: 36821">I have managed to lose over 3 stones over the last 2 years and it is due to:-1.  Going on the DAFNE course and since reducing my insulin doses significantly.  As you have to carb count it also makes you think about everything you eat.2. Buying a dog - 2 x 20-30mins a day and the weight started falling off me without really trying3.  Once I got fitter I decided to try running - I am not and never have been a runner - I downloaded a series of podcasts from the NHS website called couch to 5k. I followed it, run a 5k sponsored run at the end and now run 5k three times a week4.  I have also been a member of weight watchers for about 5 months - it's a good, easy to follow diet and I think, perfectly suitable for T1sDon't get me wrong, I'm still overweight (size 16) but much better than the size 20 that I used to be and I feel SO MUCH better!Hope that helps xx</blockquote>
