I might be able to contribute well on here as a newbie. Aged 47, diagnosed at 24, barren, trialed metformin 20 years ago, had to plead for it, didnt do anything for me, but others lost 4 stone on it. had to have mucho laser, always had acne, always struggled with weight, utterly insulin resistant, only ever ate good home made food,never been able to eat sugar and fat together, never a grazer, ended up at 15.9stone.
then, ..small growth removed from upper colon and Roux-n-y Bypass.
Worked a dream.dropped the lot in 20 weeks. periods came back hard, had to have ablation as got aneamia very badly.
However, regained a little weight after 5 years off, ( just got married as well girls, 18 months now, thats when i started putting it on again)so popped in here for advice as 3 of me girlfriends are regulars, and all doing so well . Its this spare bloody tyre, it wibbles and overhangs, so am going to Exante it, see if that works. Normally i only eat 800-1000 cals a day max, but prolly slurp too much wine.
Could do with some exercise tips? any advice gratefully received.
