Evening.. I am back on the wagon after weighing self and discovering I am the biggest I have been in years...

I am T1 diabetic, 16st 11lbs and have been doing a low carb/moderate exercise diet.. 15-20 mins stationary cycle a day.

I have extensive retinopathy so limited on exercise.. so looking for friends and some advice.

I have tried WW - gained due to eating more than normal; SW - again stayed the same due to not eating that much anyway.

So here I am - stuck and peed off..

Sorry you're not a happy camper. Weight loss is harder than most people think--but it can be done! :-)

Count your calories and keep up the exercise and that scale will be moving down in no time.

Hi Catareta! BACK! I'm glad you are back on track now. Although I am not diabetic, my mother, 2 of my brothers, son, and nephew are all type 1 diabetics, and so I know, as well as you do, how absolutely important it is for you to take care of yourself! Low carb/moderate exercise is the key! Don't slack off though. You need to count carbs, sugar grams, and fiber. I can see why WW didn't work for you if you weren't keeping track of those things. I want to invite you to join the October Weight Loss Challenge and October Exercise Challenge threads in "Chicks Up for Challenge" under Support Groups. It's never too late to join, and we are a chatty group there and will help keep you on track, if you are interested. Or there are many other great challenges you could join there. Get involved! I see you have only 4 posts even though you have been a member since 2011. The more involved you get, the more motivated and accountable you'll stay. I wish you the best of luck!

Thanks for the welcome girls
Been to the GP for a completely routine thing and they are going to check some stuff out. Like ?PCOS as not having periods, excessive hair, weight gain despite trying everything else.

Welcome back! I know how hard this can be but its for the best make healthy choices for your health and wellbeing!
