Trying to lose weight : The heaviest I... - Weight Loss Support
Trying to lose weight
You haven't referred to what you're eating.
I'm not doing a carb free but did have a treat with oven chips and breastfed of chicken slices with 2 eggs first time in 6 weeks, I've been having slimming world meals with microwave rice, never eat before 3pm in afternoon only 1 meal per day like Sunday dinner lots of vegetables and 5 small potatoes no dessert a sandwich of tongue and thin sliced cheese evening meal and small yoghurt and nectarine sometimes or 2 small plums, I drink 3 mugs of tea morning, 1 mug of coffee per day,
Yes, Slimming World is definitely not low carb. Have you made any changes to your eating plan while aiming to lose weight?
Well I put plenty of various vegetables on plate, not small portions, but main meal is a smaller portion than I used to have, I have had odd pkt of crisps 25 grams smallish size, I'm eating less and incorporated some fruit pears or nectarine or plums, Yes I've had the odd small bar of double decker chocolate bar is that OK or not?
It's all about whatever fits in to your eating plan. I asked because you're showing great commitment to exercise and yet struggling to lose weight, so it may be worth reviewing - the "what" as well as the "how much".
Yes a nurse I see every 2 months thinks there's something underlying like maybe thyroid, hormone or something to do with insulin that's why I'm going to try weight loss injections privately, was thinking about gastric sleeve, so I'm in the what's the next step saloon and it will be injection 2.5mg gradually building up to 15mg over time to see how that works for me, it could be my occasional snack or something going on that is not allowing me to lose weight with vigorous exercise and smaller portions Bridgegirl 🤞
If it is to do with insulin (as it is for the vast majority of us who've got into the obesity range), then carbs are the main culprit. Good luck, whatever route you take
I'm not sure how I feel about weight loss injections. Unless your weight is life threatening and you've got uncontrolled diabetes I don't believe people should use them .
I put some really nasty things about side effects
No it's not life threatening nor do I have diabetes it's just I have a bmi of 42 and trained hard since after last Xmas don't smoke or drink this year and still haven't lost anything so it's weight loss injections next as I've ordered and hopefully start at low dose by end of week and see how it goes, I'll update on here 🤞
good luck with your weight loss journey.
I hope you can join in to some of the other threads on here, something like the ‘Fit is Fun’ thread, or the ‘Daily Diary’. They really help to keep me on track ( it’s not a linear downward track, but being amongst fellow weight losers is very supportive).
Thanks for good luck wishes as excercise and less portion size with only 1 meal a day hasn't helped at all, just feel better within myself and fitter but my waistline still the same, its quite demoralising not losing weight only maintaining so much so I gave up on gym 2 months ago for 2 weeks as thought what's the point in flogging a dead horse and getting nowhere lol.. so need to try something different, I will have a look at Fit is Fun as if I kept daily diary I'd give up, once a week I think I'll try but it makes sense Daily Diary as I'll know what I'm eating then and beverages ☕️ I hope it keeps me on track Sharmian350 🤞
The first thing you should do is ditch the crisps as the vegetable oil they are cooked in is probably adding to the effect of the carbs which are starch which metabolises as 100% glucose which has a higher GI than table sugar. You should also stop cooking with vegetable oil and switch to butter, coconut oil, olive oil animal fat or avocado oil.

Hi Eryl, I didn't know that about the crisps are worst than I had originally thought. But I do use sunflower oil for eggs, so I'll have to Google if that's ok when frying eggs 🍳 if not ill go down the route of butter which sounds nice.. 😉
No, sunflower is an industrially refined seed oil, for frying eggs just add add a couple of rashers of bacon to you meal and cook in the bacon fat. This video is available but you need to click on 'Watch on youtube' youtu.be/pljQrjiDC9Q?si=TMA...
