I've been losing weight slowly and seem to be stuck, but I don't care. So many of my other health indicators are showing improvement that I'm focusing on that more than the scale. I'm an insulin using type 2 diabetic, and I'm cutting back on the insulin. I think when I can cut the insulin to low doses or none at all (I currently inject 50 units of NPH and 7 units of R each day) that I will start to see weight loss then. In the meantime, my BP, my resting heart rate, my cholesterol, and my triglycerides are all better.
I want to lose weight too, because I think that is key to KEEPING the gains I've made, but I just think it will come after the insulin injections go down. I've cut out 20 units of R so far, and my blood sugars still keep coming down. |
Amen! Sometimes we get so focussed on loss we forget all the non-scale victories in our lives. :)

That is great that you are able to cut back on the insulin. Awesome.
I have been doing this for 2 years, and it is really slow for me. But I have just begun to add in some serious exercise. So I am hoping that will help things along. I have noticed that other factors have improved, such as my lower cholesterol, and the way I feel. I also do not get sick, that is really a great benefit. The 2 times I was sick this year, it was for a day. So I think I am hooked on this way of eating. Great job, keep going. |
