Your right its a 'double whammy' when finding a way to minimise the detrimental effects of health problems, we are all different and looking for different ways of coping, so that wecan succeed to lose weight despite these b...handicaps. xGill

Thank you I'm sure with support I'll get there, I have a skinny husband and he just doesn't get it bless him x

My husband doesn't even like food and if he could have 3 tablets a day instead of it would be perfectly happy, so not getting any support from him
