[QUOTE="LeeSouth, post: 2422320, member: 364026"] Hi all, I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes two and a half years ago. I wanted to try to get into remission and joined Slimming World by tracking what I ate and trying to reduce carbs and lost weight. I forget what the units are but I was down to 49 with 42 the level required to start coming off the medication (Allopurinol and Alloglyptin). At the start of the pandemic I lost my job and struggled with anxiety and put on all of the weight I had lost over the previous year. I've just had a blood test and my levels are now worse than ever. My doctor said I would need to consider insulin injections unless I could do something, and gave me a target of losing 1 stone in a month, and a 2nd stone in the next three months. Almost at the end of the 3rd month I've lost just 6lbs. I started off well, lost 3lb the first week, 2lb the second week and 1lb the third week but since then it's been a maintain or +1 one week and -1 the next. I desperately don't want daily injections but I just can't get why I can't stick to a weight loss plan long term. I can't really understand what I can do to make weight loss routines last longer than a few weeks. I don't find that Slimming World really works for me, other than the weekly shame of being weighed in in front of people. I do exercise, I run twice a week and if I could find a way to sort my diet consistently/long term I could lose the weight. I just can't work out what is wrong with me. I know that not losing the weight has pretty serious consequences - so why can't I get my brain to motivate myself consistently? How have other people been able to make permanent changes and does anyone have any tips please? [/QUOTE]
