Eeeek, been wobbling a bit more... but have a positive day planned tomorrow. I'm going to speak to my gp about food intolerance - when I'm on the packs my breathing is great, but when I start adding in food my asthma quickly starts playing up. I want to talk it through with her, and work out how I find a way off the diet (once I've lost the weight) onto a set of food that works for me, that isn't going to set me up for some other problem later! I'm hoping she'll be helpful.
I've been looking round on the internet though, and found this site testyourintolerance.com - Home
which looked like it may be helpful. Has anyone come across it, does it work?!
Anyway, Monday tomorrow, and another step towards shaking this weight!

Hi everyone, I'm still around, still faffing!
However, feeling really good. I'm now eating a mixture of Exante packs and low carb and I'm feeling fantastic. I've finally realised how bad I feel when I start eating the carbs (I'm not sure yet whether it's all carbs or some intolerances) however, when I avoid them I have so much energy, and feel a lot better, my asthma is great, I don't feel so moody, or depressed, I have energy to do the things I want to do. So anyway, I'm finally starting to accept that my 'normal' type of food needs to be meat, veg, dairy etc. Slowly getting it into my head, but it does feel really good.
The GP was really helpful, and has agreed that staying low carb would be fine; which is good.
Weightwise, I'm now mid-15's, so I'm kind of maintaining I guess. However, it would be good to start losing again. However, focusing on the foods that make me feel well, which is low carb, I think I will start losing it slowly again.
Hope you're all well. Sorry I've not been around for ages! I'm sure I'll be in and out again a bit now

Heheee, lovely to see the old gang all around Although here's hoping we all find the solutions that work for us this year. It's been a good week, I feel so much better on this low carb /Exante packs combo.
Sorry I haven't got a chance to check out all your posts, I'm really snowed with lots of work and study at the moment.... just as well I'm back on track with food though, as at least I have lots of energy!
Hope you all have a great weekend
