thanks girlies - yeah i know its not the easiest road ahead but the good thing is i only have 10-15kg more to lose - hay lost 8-9 already without drugs - i am only on a 30 day course at a time of the duromine - have been on it before so know what i am in for - though didn't do it in conjunction with met last time - well the dr has given me eight weeks to lose the weight and regulate my insulin this way - just trying ot fast track it. I am still having an eating plan as well so that will ensure that i still actually eat - but eat the good stuff...
