I weight around 52/53kg. I've been stuck in 53 and can't drop that extra weight. I've been eating too much junk lately (I love sweets) and that's not helping. I'm on a diet again to, hopefully, go back to what I consider an "ok" weight.

I've always wanted to weight 47kg again, that's my ideal weight, but I can't drop that much unless I eat very little, which I can't. I get very hungry at night...

Invis Lady, maybe its meal timing and choice of foods. what exercise do you do?

i.e. mixing sugar and fat is the worst
sugar anytime except after working out is worst
steady state low intensity cardio also not very effective
high protein is good

Well, I'm diabetic so I am very careful on the sugars and have been on a low fat diet for about 2 years now. Right now the exercise that I do is the only thing I can and that is a stationary bike and the wii. I have a very low tolerance for outdoor temps over 75 and my neighborhood is not safe to walk in + a bad knee so walking/jogging is out and no money or transport to a gym so that's out too.

there was a time i was exercising daily doing cardio also but i noticed i started gaining. the body adapts and maybe its time to increase your intensity and also try HIIT

A good thing is, despite not losing weight, you must be in pretty good shape right now due to the 1 hour a day cardio even if it doesn't show. So you may be ready for doing more intense exercises.

another thing that might work is to also put in some weight training and mix your sessions up. Like doing Squats, planks, push ups, work out more body parts since bike only works quadsshe has alot of good exercises u dont need much equipment with. Burpees are what she does in :35

I definitely will give it a shot but will avoid squats like the plague (the knee hates them)
Oh well at least my DRs apointment is on monday and I will dicuss the issues with him and see if there is anything else that could help or an underlying hormone or other issue.

Losing weight is purely due to not being listened to, and ignored, and therefore unable to add any weight to an argument :rolleyes: in a board room meeting

When not taken seriously, it's hard to control emotions and let rage fly, or go the other way, creeping back into my shell ::eek::

I wonder if quadricep squats; a favourite generator of blurry headbuzz, :cool: whichever natural chemical that may make, or if the pull-ups are equivalent lifting one's own weight the other way round. Click-clacky knees are disturbing - thinking of rowers
:eek:


I want to be in a boxing ring. Especially in a match on the day when I ever get married

I'm down to bout 120Kg from 155ish over last 6 months... feel heaps better not carrying the extra weight around. I think that's near my lower limit though so doubt will lose any more.
All i did was go for runs & bike rides rather than have no exercise.

I'm 6'1, 29 and 315lbs, Morbidly obese (rank 2 probably). I had some back troubles recently, pulled a muscle that hurt for days. I also have type 2 diabetes, there is some in the family but I sped it up by eating rubbish and not moving. I really want to lose some weight now. I "started" today, however my mum has made a cake! She only does it a few times a year, typical. I don't think I will have any, as I can't control it when I start.

I thought I would be more than 315lb, I have been eating a lot of crisps and bought some ben and jerrys ice cream lately, also had fish and chips/chinese/mcdonalds quite alot. I have been around this weight for ages, last diet I must of gone down 14lb or so, because I can't believe I haven't put any weight on the last few months, its more likely I put on 14lb. (Get confused when I'm 20-21-22.6, I know I haven't been 23 stone at least) Its also possible my Blood sugar is so high I haven't put on much weight :s

When I get depressed/stressed/angry I eat though so I don't know what I will do about that.

I am trying drinking a lot, eat something then a glass of water to fill me up more, also water is supposed to help with weight loss. Normally I drink probably 2 glasses of water a day, when it should be 6 or 8? Also going to give up diet pepsi, its not good for diabetes and makes you more hungry apparently.

I have two medications that make people put on weight, but 1 that helps you lose it sort of (metformin), I have been on them for so long that I dont know if they affect me or not.

I find it really hard in the mornings when I have my breakfast, I can eat over half my daily calories at breakfast, I can have 1 or 2 big bowls of cerial, 2 or 3 packets of crisps, rolls, snack bar or whatever else we have. Today I only had 1 bowl of breakfast and some water, it worked sort of - after a 2-3 hours I was low blood sugar so just now I had 2 rolls (nothing in them). I probably need to cut down a bit slower.

Will have to start on exercise bike and use weights again too!

There should be a ban on showing unhealthy food pictures here. It makes people want to start eating junk food again.
