Weight

I desperately need to loose weight. I need help with this.
My weight is 80.5kg, 12st 8.4lbs with a BMI of 32.66
I have high blood pressure, and feel exhausted all the time. It's got to where I cannot do trousers up. I feel very unwell with this.
All I've been told to do is to keep a food diary. I've done this before and been told they can't cut anything out as eat very healthily.
I've been taking 3 different slimming tablets without any improvement, so have just brought my fourth slimming tablet today. I'm going to start taking laxatives as well, I know they will help with the other, as am on 2 Ferrous Fumarate iron tablets a day.
Anyone who can help, please do

Hi I'm new to all this but so desperate to lose weight aswell. I've just finished the DAFNE course and found it really helpful. Have really cut down on my eating but finding it hard to shift weight as at the min on high doses of insulin until we get it sorted. Any advice or tips would be helpful please

Hi NatalieThree years ago I went to 13stone and decided I needed help to lose a couple of stone and joined a Slimming world group there diet worked for me and I lost 3 stone without affecting my BG control I don't go to the group any more but have managed to maintain my weight better.

Hi Joanne and everybody,

I also graduated recently with Joanne . Yes DAFNE was fantastic and very helpful in managing our levels. I personally found that cutting the carbs down works really well in loosing weight as well as keeping my BG levels within the range. At the moment, my diet is focused on vegetables and proteins and less amount of carbs and I lost three to four kilos just the last few weeks and I am pleased with it

All the best

C u in few weeks Joanne

Hi again,

I also forgot to mention it is always best to check with your doctor and educator.
