[QUOTE="kitsunerin, post: 1459352, member: 216665"] Hey everyone! I'm wondering about losing weight. Have any of you been able to? I'm at a bit of a loss right now! Basically, I've had poorly controlled diabetes for 15 years and my weight has slowly been increasing. Over the years I've gone from 12 to 16 stone and it's depressing. I don't eat too bad, I'm trying to do LCHF right now but it's difficult with housemate and my fiance. I'm on lantus, humalog, metformin, venlafaxine (mental health), testosterone injections and amitriptyline (fibromyalgia). I know I can gain weight from over-dosing on my insulin, obviously carbs, but I think my meds are not helping at all. I am transgender and supposed to be having a long-awaited surgery next year, but the surgeon wants me to drop the pounds. I have tried all sorts but with chronic pain it's difficult. My weight seems to stay the same no matter what I do and it's so frustrating. I cannot walk very well due to the pain (which I am now concerned is diabetes related, not fibro), so exercising is difficult. I do have a home pedaller which I've been using! I don't know, I'm just at a loss what to do and sometimes I just feel 'why bother' when the weight doesn't seem to want to come off :( [/QUOTE]
