[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2205523, member: 401801"] At my "fastest" weight loss, I lost half a kilo per week. That became half a kilo per month, now I'm pretty much stalled, either due to too much protein in my diet or because of peri-menopause. Either way, my belly's not budging any further. We're all different... And for some it takes a few weeks or even months to start noticing significant loss. Some don't see it on the scales, but do actually notice their belt needs tightening to keep their pants up. It's not an overnight thing, and weight loss is the secondary goal: the main aim is to get your blood sugars under control, to avoid complications that can lead to amputations, kidneyfaillure, heartfaillure and what have you. When your body gets used to the new normal, you will, seeing what you're eating, lose weight. But a fortnight is a bit short, and you did lose [I]some [/I]weight... Maybe not as much as you would've liked, but it's a start. And we all have to start somewhere. I started at well over 100 kilo's. I don't even know how heavy I'd gotten because I stopped weighing myself after I hit 102. I'm 83 now. And if I have to stay that way, fine, but believe me... It took a while to get to this point. It wasn't done in a couple of weeks. Patience. Keep at it. Don't give up. If you're not seeing a difference on the scales, do you notice one in your blood glucose? Then maybe focus on that for a bit, because that IS an achievement thought impossible by a lot of the medical professionals... [/QUOTE]
