[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My high weight is 275. I am currently 223. I went from 275 to 240 without intense efforts. Just being more active and a bit more thoughtful about diet.  It happened over a long period though. 3 months ago I realized the diabetes I always knew was on the horizon had finally happened. (Long family history and obviously the weight piece)

So I made huge major lifestyle changes. I walk 8-10 miles a day, walk after every meal, drastically reduced carbs for the first time in my life, get some exercise, cut way back on eating out, don’t ever eat after dinner. Cut way back on calories. Eat no desserts or fruits, alcohol pasta etc. I prioritize sleep in a way that I never have my whole life.

The first two months I lost about 1.5 pounds a week. It felt very slow but was progress.

Then five weeks ago it stopped entirely. I have not lost anything in a month. How is this possible when I drastically cut calories and increased movement? I am so beyond frustrated. I want to cry every morning when I step on the scale. Giving up isn’t an option because reversing the diabetes is my primary goal and that is happening - my a1c has dropped a lot already. But how can it be possible not to lose something with such huge lifestyle changes?[/quote]

I am the opposite of you. I am a skinny man who has tried to bulk up the past 20 years without success despite seeing nutritionists expensive personal trainers etc

Anyways just keep at it you will reach your goal. Those of us on either extreme of weight know the challenges to get to our ideal.weight.[/quote]
