I want to scream- Update
the scale hasn't moved
my clothes are bigger on me
I am getting my period next week- but I would like to just see a little movement on the scale for all my calorie counting, cooking, tracking on my fitness pal and running
this is like a part-time job- I just want to see the results
ok- vent over- hopefully tomorrow I see something
Update- I lost 3 lbs last week
I am starting to look like my old self- 2 notches on my belt
I cut dairy out of my diet- I am diabetic - and this small change seemed to jump start something
I also aviod sugar and carbs (excpet in veggies)
changing my diet has allowed me to cut my insulin dosage down to under 4 units per day (of quick acting or pre-meal insulin)
when I was first diagnoised- they had me on 18- 6 units each meal
I also increased my work outs- I am basically managing type 1 like I have type 2 with amazing results
I feel the best I have felt in about 2 years- since before I got sick

Re: I want to scream
I could have written this post myself! When I started all this I quickly lost 8 pounds. Then I injured my knee and gained some of it back. Now I have been back on the wagon and am officially down 7.5 pounds. BUT that is where the scale is stuck. No matter what I do it doesn't want to move. It's been a couple of weeks now. It's so frustrating

Re: I want to scream
Do something to jump start your metabolism...maybe a cheat meal or try having a high carbohydrate day. I usually cycle my carbohydrates if I am trying to lose weight and the scale refuses to move.

Re: I want to scream
I hate when that happens! That's why I only weigh myself once a week, tops. If I weigh myself every day I get very frustrated. The more accurate measure of your progress is that your clothes are bigger

Re: I want to scream
Hey Beth! Great news that your clothes are bigger. Awesome!! Pay attention (or at least more attention) to that versus what the scale says. How do you feel? That's the most important thing.
I have been working with a nutritionist for a few weeks now and while the scale has only gone down a few pounds, my body fat percentage is down and I've lost inches.
I'm slowly learning that the scale isn't everything. my nutritionist is the same height as me, weighs almost 10 pounds more but looks so much better. That's because she's toned - and that weighs more.
What are you eating? I know you're diabetic but I'd be happy to share some of the menus I was initially given and maybe they can be adapted accordingly.
eta for grammar
