"Firstly I loves you and the way you are but understand why you are doing this. My dad had to do the same thing. secondly you do need carbs in your diet even a small amount...thirdly it takes time and having pcos does hinder those from losing weight...you are doing everything right its a difficult battle to loose weight but you will get there...xxx" I get some carbs from the veg that I eat. I might introduce a small amount of Brown rice or something in. Oddly when I came back from grillstock at the weekend I'd lost a pound even though I'd eaten bread with some of the food etc | |||

Whatever you're doing though, you must be feeling fitter and healthier | |||

"i lost two stone last year. i stopped eating sugar used candarel instead. stopped eating meat, dairy products. i eat weetabix, soya lite milk, porrige with soya milk and hot water on it. fruit, plain youghurt, some chicken, tin pilchards, sometimes low fat cheese slices, or cottage cheese. lots of vegtables and sallad. i also eat soya mince, quorn burgers, fish cakes, quorn slices instead of ham, if i dont eat ham. I eat nuts sometimes as they are good for diabetes. you can also get soya lite yoghurt. flora margarine in the blue tub is very nice too." Sounds positively disgusting
I managed to lose 18 lbs through exercise alone, but over a year, and a change in total body fat content, so much leaner and muscle mass, but the exercise I do allows me to continue with my normal healthy diet, nothing cut out and the treats I feel I deserve

"rome wasnt built in a day" i think this is a big part of my problem. my dad said its like a run-a-ay train being put in reverse, it takes time for it to stop before it can go backwards | |||

It's hard but there has to be a way :D | |||
"rome wasnt built in a day i think this is a big part of my problem. my dad said its like a run-a-ay train being put in reverse, it takes time for it to stop before it can go backwards" As other posts have said the most important thing is to understand that healthy weight loss is not instant. Time is needed to establish a relationship with food that isn't extreme or hostile. Why most diets fail are because they are not realistically sustainable. It's a difficult and frustrating process when results are not immediately apparent, but there is no magic bullet. Don't let food become an enemy, enjoy it, but just eat less, be patient and in two years you won't recognise yourself .Keep the faith! ps Warriors will improve now they have binned that misery Hill! | |||
" This must be the longest post I have ever written lol one last plea......anyone fancy being my personal trainer free of charge??" Evie! I'll be happy to be your personal trainer! I believe that when you feel good, you look good. I will make you feel good, promise! 
Do I get the job?  | |||

" ps Warriors will improve now they have binned that misery Hill! " they cant get much feckin' worse!!!  | |||

"I'm not sure but I have heard from friends that the injection pill can really make a difference, they struggled very much with dieting until they stopped it. "i'm currently on 3 types of contraception lol the implant got replaced last week, between my implant running out a being replaced i had the depo ad due to ongoin bleeding (probs going on for 12 weeks now) i am also taking Cerazette. If i fall pregnant now i am seling my story to all the magazines!!! lol | |||

"As others have mentioned losing weight takes time,, the weight gains were nt instantanious, the reduction is just as slow,, Triple P,,, patience, perseverance and positive outlook,, "My triple P Pies Pastys Pasties.  | |||

"have u been tested for Hypothyroidism?" Not recently to my knowledge. I might mention it to the nurse. I am going to record everything I eat the week before I see her and be as true to what I am eating now so no making myself look good in front of her as that will make false representations etc. Just went out for one of the couch to 5k sessions but only managed 4x60 second runs today...I did all 8 on Monday. Think my head wasn't in it. Will do better on Friday | |||

"Firstly.....most if thus post will be tongue in cheek to vent my frustration lol I have decided that I must be at my ideal weight as nothing I am doing seems to shift any of the Damn stuff!!! I have recently changed my diet to a much more healthy one. No more ready meals or takeaways, pretty much all cooked from scratch etc. I dint eat carbs such as potatoes,rice, pasta, bread etc as I am diabetic and find that cutting these out lowers my bg levels. I have become more active doing between 30 mins and an hour of exercise a day. Mostly walking or the couch to 5k plan. Yesterday was too rainy to go out walking so I went to Ceroc instead. Yet still I seem to remain the same weight and it's really starting to fuck Me off!! I dint want to lose weight for aesthetic reasons, I'm happy this weight and gave friends and family who love me like this and a wonderful fella to boot. It really is for health reason as if I don't get my by under control I will have to go in insulin and I really don't want that!! I also have PCOS which can cause weight gain plus I believe the contraception I am in causes weight gain too but I was hoping the changes in diet and exercise would combat those. This must be the longest post I have ever written lol one last plea......anyone fancy being my personal trainer free of charge?? Lol either that or I'm writing off to 'obese: a year to save my life' to get in the next series "You say you are happy then further down you ask for diet/ personal trainer advice. If you are happy, be happy! As long as you are healthy- or as healthy as you can be with diabetes (if you know what I mean) then just smile and be happy. Who gives a fuck what anyone else thinks. Life is too short to spend it wanting to be something else. | |||
| |||
"i am happy....the whole point of losing weight is to help with the diabetes. Losing weight will hopefully make my body less resistant to insulin and reduce my reliance on meds etc" Good point about the thyroid test. My mate has it and she can gain 10lb in just a few days but can't lose anything. She's on meds for it but she's crap at taking them lol VLCD's are supposed to help with diabetes. | |||

"what's VLCD?" i got it | |||
"what's VLCD? i got it " Cambridge Weight Plan is good. | |||

"We'll it seems after my rant my body has woken up as I have lost 4lb this week. Bringing my total loss so far to 9lb. This might not seem Mich but it's the most successful I have ever been at losing weight lol Oh and did an inline calculation of my long term BG using average figures from my meter and it's coming out at 6.6 which is a massive decrease from 9.6 at my last appointment where they threatened insulin!! (nhs target is 6.5) Chuffed evie today "Well done you, got to just keep going at it | |||

And good luck with the weight loss I know how hard it can be. | |||
I must say though, there's no better exercise than sex - you actually want to do it, you don't have to get out of bed (or wherever else you may be!) and you can burn tons of calories trying to reach orgasm - Win Win!! | |||
"I found out i have PCOS about 10 months ago, that combined with the Pill makes it a bitch to shift weight!! I've found for me personally what most people say works for them does the complete opposite for me! It has taken a while but i think i may have found my 'regime' - will have to see if it carries on working or is another 'works for a while' thing I'm here if you want any help

"You'll find that you're converting your fat into muscle, so you'll not se much difference to start off with, but keep going and you'll then start to see the change
Whatever you're doing though, you must be feeling fitter and healthier "You do realise it physically impossible to convert fat into muscle don't you! They're totally different tissue types. It's like saying, I've lost an eye in an accident, but it's ok, I'll convert a tooth into an eye and use that. I think what you mean is by gaining muscle mass and losing body fat at the same time will balance each other out on the scales. For this reason, get your scales, lock them away and forget about them. Go by how you feel, how you look in the mirror, how your clothes fit. Anyway... To the OP, regardless of any conditions, you need to eat balanced. If your diet is out of balance, then your body will be out of balance. Carbs from veg won't cut it. You need complex carbohydrates as your main energy source. Things like sweet potato, brown rice etc. and make sure you have low GI foods to prevent you getting an insulin spike. When cooking brown rice, do it on a low heat and leave it for an hour. I use a low salt organic vegetable stock cube in my rice, and it takes the sharpness and bitter taste away from it. More importantly, make sure you're getting a good amount of good fats in your diet too. Good fats are essential for hormone production, and hormones are used to help burn body fat. Avoid fruit.... Most fruit is full of fructose, and fructose avoids the glucose to glycogen conversion, so most of the time, that sugar is going to store as body fat. Lastly, good luck, and if you genuinely want some real, highly educated in this field, advice, send me a message with any concerns/questions and I'll get right back to you. | |||
