OMG had my diabetes appointment yesterday. The doctors are taking me off 1 of my tablets, halving my blood pressure tablets and taking me off the insulin. The next 3 weeks may be risky but if all goes to plan then my last injection of insulin will be in 3 weeks woohoooo

Off to do 45 min cardio :)

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I joined slimming world in October 2010 and have lost 5 stone 9 pound so far. Its been hard but worth it. It has saved my life. My diabetes is now amazing, cholesterol, blood pressure are normal and my kidneys have gone from showing signs of damage to being completely normal and so now theres no risk of dialysis in the next 10 years. Exercise was a swear word but i have started exercising regularly for about 3 months now and i am loving it. I hated myself before slimming world. I would look in the mirror and think what have you done, why have you done it and what is the point. I was miserable and covered it up with fake smiles and laughs. Now my smiles and laughs are genuine. Im gaining confidence every day and i feel like a 25 year old instead of a morbidly obese waste of a life. I thought i would celebrate by attempting my first ever running challenge.
