Actually Marg the practice nurse at my last doctors told me that if I cut out fat as much as possible, the weight would drop off. So I gave up butter and fried meals, I only have an occasional treat of fish and chips. Low and behold I've lost nearly a stone ( 12 Lbs) Jim Sharpe Shaw, Oldham. ----- Original Message ----- From: Marged <marged@btinternet.com> To: Jim Sharpe <sharpe@britishlibrary.net>; <GEN-FRIENDS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2002 3:13 PM Subject: Re: [GEN-FRIENDS] UGH! > Jim, I have got to say straight away that this message was directed at > BRIAN! > > You know how it is that you call someone "Slim Jim" when you mean the > opposite > > Must confess I am on Benecol myself and don't find it any worse than the > other butter SUBSTITUTES, and I have the Flora Active ready to try next. > Doing my best. > > Do you reckon you can lose weight by eating this stuff and stay on the same > diet?

Don't eat much sweet stuff being Diabetic. Took me a couple of months. They seem to be softening me up to go on insulin because my sugar went haywire when we were messing about buying and selling houses. However my recent full blood test at Oldham General said that overall my sugar count was 7.8 which was better than they expected so perhaps I'll be reprieved. I'm not really worried about it because the ones who go on insulin usually say that they feel better than they have for years. The modern pen injection needles are easy to use, you just stick it in your tummy through your shirt.
