Remember the best way to keep off weight in the long run is slow weight loss. It can be so incredibly frustrating, I know.

Try measuring yourself and see if you are losing inches. At some point, our fat turns to muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. Because of this, you hit a spot were you don't lose. Seeing inch loss helped me when the pounds were not coming down. Keep up the good work. And don't get discouraged. You should be proud of yourself for your achievements. The rest will come

vpenning - I agree with you on that. I, too, have not lost weight in the last few days, but I have lost inches. I notice this when wearing smaller shirts and a smaller pair of pants. My shirt size was 4x but now I am down to 3x and some 2x. You got to remember this - you did not gain the weight overnight, so it won't come off overnight. Be persistent. Watch how much you eat more than what you eat and keep exercising. You will achieve your goal in the long run.

Try some weight training, either with a trainer, at the gym, or at home with some resistance bands. You sound like you are doing so well with your eating plan..you need muscles to burn the fat now. Don't cut out too much food, you don't want to send your metabolism into starvation mode. Men lose weight so much easier than women because they have muscles. Plus you will feel like a strong, empowered babe! I started working out with a personal trainer, it took my body 2 months to get going, but it started coming off. Good luck, this struggle is so frustrating!

Hi Rebecca --

I'm new to dLife and this is actually my first comment on a blog of any kind.

I don't have a solution for your bad news. But, I just want you to know that I'm now encouraged to do something more about my battle with diabetes from simply reading about your struggle. You've done all that and yet you're still inspired. Thank you.

It's a new year, it's a new beginning. I should treat it as such. I vow to set some realistic goals.

Rebacca, This is also my first comment I read and read comments and to me its the same old stuff, I can control my sugar but my weight its a (b) as much as I try its not happening I also join WW and quit becase of the same reason people looooosing more then me and that really sets my underwear on fire. So I slap myself and stop whinning. And get back to reality. I don't talk to many people with the big (D) I just read. So call me we can talk about this big momster in the closet.(georgecastillojr@hotmail.com

Rebecca.
I too struggle with my weight. I have no comment on the diet or method you use because we are all so different. I can tell you that I have a hard taskmaster who helps me out with my exercise. My son is a type 1 and has always been really big on exercise and weight lifting. He comes over at least once each week to watch me do my workout. He has lots of tips and makes lots of little remarks that have me laughing all the time. He sends me jokes on my e-mail and even calls me to tell me something funny. He is a workaholic who has a wife and a daughter. They are always busy with one thing or another. He has also started trying to learn to play the bagpipes. He invited me to a practice session and I laughed until the tears ran. All the time he was smiling at me. He keeps telling me that nothing is so serious that we should stop laughing at ourselves. So this is the little piece of wisdom that I want to share. I wish you jokes. I wish you laughter. I wish you joy and a light hearted day. I also wish you much love. And i hope the same for all the diabetics who read this. Nothing is so bad that we cannot get through this together.
