I was diagonosed with Type 2 in October last year and aside from Metformin the big part of my treatment is to loose weight. I've been overweight for most of my adult life and have gone through various weight loss attempts.
I have been doing really well, loosing anything between 1 - 4lbs a week. 5lbs one week but I had a stomach bug so I don't think that really counts! lol About 4 weeks ago I hit my 2stone lost mark which I was really chuffed about but I seem to have been stuck there ever since!
On the whole I'd like to think I have a pretty balanced diet, with the occasionally hiccup which I'm sure we all have from time to time! I will admit I probably could do with exercising a bit more but have just started to again over the last couple of weeks - mainly walking (now that the weather is a bit better) or using the Wii Fit. I flat out refuse to join a gym. For one I can't really afford to and also why should I pay to exercise when going for a walk is free?!!! I would like to start swimming (the swimming pool is literally across the road from my house) but am still not overly comfortable about myself in a swimming costume! I look like a giant ball of lycra! lol
Alot of people have said that you quite often hit a plateau when it comes to weight loss and I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this and how did you get out of the rut? Did you just start loosing weight again or did you have to start doing something differently?
