I am on apidra insulin and lantus I am trying to lose weight but will I do so cause people keep saying I wont lose weight if im on insulin its very disheartening but I am 15st and only 5" 2 would truly appreciate any advice
 
Nothing is impossible, but some things are harder than others.
If your insulin dosess are high and you keep a high carb intake to go with, then it's near impossible. If you can get the insulin( and the carbs) down, you'll probably succeed.
And Add some exercise :cry:
 
Hi, I suggest writing down everything you eat and work out the calories. Keep reviewing and eating lower calorie options. It works for me. What matters is having the motivation and I sense that you want to do something to improve your situation.

Do tell how you are going about trying to lose the weight?

I've been weighing things, writing everything down and working out the calories then adding them up at the end of the day. I've cut down a lot on fat and also reduced the carbohydrate that I'm eating - smaller portions. I've replaced those foods by eating lots of fruit and vegetables.

Trying not to eat any junk whatsoever. I think that you will know the junk foods without me spelling them out.

I've lost 28 kgs over the last nine months (about 1.5 lbs a week) and I'm going to go lower until I reach my 'ideal weight'.

Hi, im new to all this too and trying to lose weight - have followed virtually fat and sugar free diet and have put on half a stone in last two weeks. So have basically bit the bullet and joined this in hope that I can get advice from others who have most likely at some time been through the same thing

It's difficult anyone to advise you without you telling people what you are eating. Why not try?
