Feeling a bit down today

[Byambaa]

Hi feeling a bit down today I’m pre diabetic and have been on a medium low carb diet for over a week and not lost any weight (I have cut my carbs down by well over half)PLEASE NO LONG DEBATES ABOUT HOW GOOD OR BAD LOW CARB DIETS ARE THIS ISN'T THE TIME OR PLACE. My wife who isn’t diabetic has lost 1.5kg eating the same as me. :? We go to the gym 3 times a week and do 45 minutes cardio, 20 minutes weights and 10 minutes abs & stretching each time. On top of that I ride to work and home a total of 15km per dayat a brisk pace 5 days a week I also walk to the shops twice a week a 20 minute walk each way. Every Saturday I take my mum (who is in a wheelchair) out and on average I walk 8km round the shops with her. So why isn’t the weight coming off?

Also last Friday I put an ordinary pair of socks on; today Wednesday I still have the ring around my ankle where the elastic was any ideas? Normally I wear socks without elastic as my feet have been going numb when I work out, I have told my nurse who just said to see the Dr it may be you circulation, but the next appointment isn’t until Friday.

Hi
Some people lose inches before weight! Don't be disheartened by not losing weight!
we all feel down from time to time! We are all here for each other! There are times where we all need someone to talk to that is not family!
We all feel down from time to time! This is a safe place to be able to say how you feel!

Hi, you need to give your body a bit of time to adjust maybe. if you have a ring around your ankle still could you have slight water retention which would also explain the lack of weight loss?
I am still sticking to my 'diet' and have put on 2 lbs in the last 2 weeks. It is disheartening but i am just going to contiue and am assuming that as i lost a stone in the month before my body is just sorting itself out and will begin to lose weight again.
Good luck and stick with it x

If it is any help, I lost 4 inches off my waist before I lost any weight at all. 3 months on and I have lost over a stone - it just takes time for some people.

My weight seems to be going up and down randomly, although I don't think I'm eating much differently from one day to the next. I think that may be a water retention problem.
