[QUOTE="chalup, post: 1205869, member: 306126"] Hi there :oops: I too have a very very hard time losing weight. Back in 2005 when I was first diagnosed I went on Atkins and stayed on strict induction level as well as making sure I was low calorie. The weight came off fast and my bg came right into line.The doctor told me how great I was doing and said I was no longer diabetic. I believed him :confused::nailbiting::bigtears: Here I am, may 2016, all the weight is back, neuropathy appears, A1C 10.5%, feel like ****. OK, I know how to deal with this !! But the weight is not falling off this time, the neuropathy is a little bit better but not anywhere near gone, my numbers are not just falling into line. Numbers are better but this time I am needing meds to get them down even with lchf and they are anything but perfect. Liver just keeps on dumping lol. But here is the thing. I am older, I have multiple autoimmune diseases which limit exercise, I am now post menopausal, and the diabetes has progressed. I have lost a few pounds but it has taken months of lchf, limiting calories and being frustrated. It is hard to listen to other people having what seems to be effortless success doing the same things you are doing when you are struggling. You want to be happy for them and you are but can't help that little voice saying why not me too? What am I doing wrong? I don't think you are doing it wrong. I think there are probably many more "lurkers" on here that are just as frustrated. People that are having great success want to tell the world and that is understandable. It is much harder to tell the world "I am struggling and I don't know why" Well I am struggling too and all I can tell you is to keep plugging away and know that you are not the only one. Sending you and anyone else that needs it a big hug. ;)o_O [/QUOTE]
