lilgothicdevil5533 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 let me start of by saying im not fat but not skinny either. i want to be skinny. im aboud 5'5 and i weight 160. last month i excersied 5 days out of the week and went down to 155 and i would just stop losing weight. i would keep exercising--longer-harder-more--but i just wouldnt lose anymore weight. and since school started i went back to 160. and i dont gain or lose weight. i just stay there. what the **** do i do? am i doing something wrong? is my body just not cooperation? because i want to be at 140.

Lady Bugg Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I think your body hits a "plateau' of where it needs to be regardless of HOW much you diet or work out. Why do you want to be "skinny"? Link to comment

BONO Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Have you tried eating more ie 4 times a day & smaller amounts, 2 litres of water a day and mixing carbs one day, followed by protien the next ? Scruff Link to comment

Leaving such a large gap between eating (breakfast to 4/5pm) isn't doing you any favours - *especially* seeing as how you are diabetic. Skipping meals slows down your metabolism, and also makes you more likely to have a hypo. Can you not prepare some lunch to take to school? Link to comment

lilgothicdevil5533 Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 Are you type 1 or 2 diabetic? And is your blood sugar stable? juvinel diabetes. and its not right now. my sugar levels are running high and i either need to increase my insulin dosage or get new insulin Link to comment
majord23 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 juvinel diabetes. and its not right now. my sugar levels are running high and i either need to increase my insulin dosage or get new insulin I'd definitely concentrate on getting your diabetes stabilised before trying to lose weight. Especially with your exercise programme and non-regular food intake - if your sugar levels are excessively high, you could make yourself incredibly unwell (DKA). Link to comment
BONO Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Has it come to that mate?? Better than developing a nasty CRACK & COKE habit, huh ???!!!! Scruff ( Mods - that was a joke ) Link to comment

lilgothicdevil5533 Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 sorry scruff but i dont think i could hold down cabbage stew in my stomach. Link to comment
majord23 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 yeah i kno. im trying. Good stuff. I think you'll find that once you get your diabetes stabilised, you'll not only feel better for it but it will also make it alot easier for you to lose the little bit of weight that you want (not need ) to lose. Your body is confused at the moment - it's using alot more energy than usual but is not receiving the fuel (via food nor is it able to utilise the sugar in your blood) As a result, it's doing it's doing it's best to maintain itself - and is storing anything it can get ahold of to keep your weight stable. That's an over-simplified way of looking at it, but I'm sure you know what I mean. Link to comment
lilgothicdevil5533 Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 its gonna be hard tho. because i dont know if i need to increase my insulin or if i need a different kind or if i should get a pump instead. Link to comment
majord23 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 its gonna be hard tho. because i dont know if i need to increase my insulin or if i need a different kind or if i should get a pump instead. Are you seeing an Endocrinologist or Diabetic Nurse Specialist? They'd be the best to give you advice and help you with the decision - you *do* need to rectify the big gap in your food intake during the day however. Link to comment
lilgothicdevil5533 Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 yeah, i have an app. in november. thats the earliest i could get. im never usually hungry during school tho. Link to comment
eremy Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Should eat anyways. You're probably not hungry because your body has gotten used to not eating at that time. Start with small stuff for lunch, say a pb&j and a banana/apple/orange or some such. You said that you've started working out more, long/harder, ect. THAT could be part of the problem, for a couple different reasons. One could be that you are overworking your body, exhausting the muscles so that instead of losing the weight you're actually not accomplishing anything but the opposite. The other could be that you're developing more muscle in the process of working so hard, and muscle just so happens to be heavier than fat. My tip, lose the scale. Concentrate on body fat percentage and achieving the figure you are looking for...oh yeah, and take a break ever now and then One more thing, have you ever considered yoga? Link to comment
