Thankyou all for the birthday wishes, I had a very large bowl of whipped cream with some strawberries instead of cake and it was very lush.

Mazzers - The foot thing is important with type 2 D - I saw podiatrist and he also said to moisturise daily as we shouldn't be using pumice stone or anything for the hard skin on our feet 'cos of the neuropathy risks. He told me to get aqueous cream BP from chemist - huge tub for about £2.50, rub it all over feet night & morning but not between the toes.

Mercy - what are the fish oil tablets that you take? I saw a from an earlier post that you take 2 capsules of EPA180/DHA120 but I would really like to know what they're called and how do I get them. Ta

Focus - how about measuring your waist and then only measure again on those weeks that the scales say you've gained, I find this helps me a lot. By the way - you are only weighing once a week aren't you?

Yesterday's menu

B Yogurt with seeds
L Avocado, salami, salad, h/m coleslaw
D Turkey paprika, green beans & runner beans
S Feta & olives, Large bowl of cream with strawberries

Morning,

Can someone please post a link to Tinkerbells Quiche recipe that doesnt just take me to a massive thread that i need to search through:o I cant find the recipe from the link on the first page. Also the breakfast muffins, if someone had a link to them that would be great too:D

Losing my holiday blip slowly but surely. Will be back to pre holiday weight soon hopefully, need to up my water intake though.

Have a great low carb day everyone.

Meant to mention, I had a chiropodist appt a couple of weeks ago. She told me to try to moisturise my feet every day. She said that chiropodists think this is as important as dentists telling you to brush your teeth every day.

Never put moisturiser between the toes though!

I'm intrigued, why not?

It leads to maceration, horrible wet, white area which is the ideal environment for dermatophytes (athletes foot)
