[KarenBev]

I would suggest you get advice from your GP about your migraines, KarenBev.

Why not log onto our Daily Diary, so that we can have a look at your menu plans and maybe help you to tweak them a bit?

Well done on the walking. Are you eating enough? Sufficient good, healthy fats? Low carbs that are not processed?

Have a look at Daily Diary and see how others deal with their food, you would get loads of ideas.

Migraines can be affected by certain foods like cheese, chocolate or red wine....you will have to look at what you ate on the days when you suffered. Also, being on the pill can cause problems - or even a hormone imbalance, so your GP might be able to advise on this.

I have found that 13st is a sticking point too! Having got down from 15st 6lbs, I briefly got under the 13 (12st 10lbs last year was my bottom number) but then got a bit complacent, stopped logging my food and my weight gradually drifted back to 13st 6lbs. I lost a couple of pounds following a bout of food poisoning, which has helped to kick start me again!

Now with a wedding to go to in December, I am newly motivated, so am logging my calories again, and after my first full week, I am weighing in at 13st 1lb....so next week, let's both say goodbye to the 13's hopefully!!!

Thank you for this although it cant be the pill as ai had hysterectomy. I think it could well be allergies as I cant have citrus but will start keeping a record and yes well done you 😊 I have to perhaps have a diabetis injection if I can get my weight down I may not have to 😃so lets try for 21b going down

thank you concerned that is a very clear description of what happens in diabetes and you have helped me understand the concondition better. I need to cut down on my fats!!!
