Brilliant Carole it is so pleasing is it not to see numbers like this i felt the same after consistently having numbers in double figures it was great for me to be getting figures in the 7s and 6s, long may it continue hun xx
 
Its fantastic if i keep getting these numbers its well worth the nausea, my brothers getting married in september,i dont know how realistic this is but i would like to try and get into a sice 14 im in size 16-18 at the mo.

P.s hope you have a good day at the dog show tomorrow x
 
Thankyou steff, can i jut ask are you on oral meds as well the reason i ask is because i have to take 7 pils in the morning so i am taking first injection at 11 and having lunch at 12 but if i do at any time have to change it to the morning not sure if it would affect the pils.

Hi steff im feeling much better today thank you although i think i messed up my injection this morning so im not sure if i got my dose or not, i also decided to give the dog show a miss until i get into a propper routine,i have decided to change to brekki injection to see if that makes a difference.

Ok Carole glad your feeling better, i've done that myself and in fact i once thougth they was no liquid in my pen lol but of course they was.Id say you made the right choice in missing out on the dog show like you say once you are more confident and have a better routine then go for it.
 
It's good to hear your progress report caroleann. I had a couple of bouts of slight nausea back at the start when I probably tried to eat too much, so I do try not to do that now. I am having a weekend in Cornwall and my family wanted to try Rick Stien's fish and chip shop last night. I really didn't want to slip off the wagon too much so had a childrens portion and that was more than enough as I had to leave half of the chips. It was really yummy though.
I had a dodgy moment with the injection when my leg felt wet a couple of weeks ago and so I assume more went on me than in me. They did warn us at the training course to leave it rather than risk 2 doses.
I think it's really good to have something to aim for like a wedding. You have to really go for it. In almost a month I have dropped 1 dress size and 6 kg without too much stress. It is a drop in the ocean as I think I need to loose more than 20 kg but I have a holiday next month with friends I haven't seen for a year so I'm going to try really hard for another 5 kg in 5 weeks and then I'm sure I will look a bit different and I won't be stretching my swimming cossie quite so much.
Oh yes I had that little nibble of cheese and a biscuit before bed last night and my am BG was 5.2 which is really fantastic for me.
I have my jab before breakfast which means I feel full until lunch which I like. I asked about the 7 pills I take in the morning and the nurse said it was ok to take them at the same time so I have been.

Oh good greif i have just realised i forgot to take my jab grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.



P.s food wise carole i cant pinpoint one thing that i do, i grill everything and never touch a frying pan i cook most things home made and hardly buy any packet food and also i make sure i fill up on the good things then i know i wont fall back into filling myself up with all the rubbish.
 
Hey,

Sorry to get back on topic, but I had a question about Frio wallets. They say they are resusable, but how does this work exactly, when you add water, is the following reaction reversable?
Do you just use cold water again to re-use, and how many times can it be done?


Hope you can help,


DP 😎

I have used mine on about 4 holidays so far and it's working fine still. You just add more water each day to keep the gel. If you leave it for a few days then it goes back to the crystals. Not sure about the science of it
