Guest guest Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 > It's normal to gain a little weight when starting an excersize > program. Thanks Stefan. I had heard that (and experienced it several times)...still it is hard not to be discouraged. I spent 10 months exercising 5 x per week for 40 mins and carefully watching what I ate in the first year of my diagnosis. I lost no weight at all, I gained the usual 5 lbs at the beginning and lost about 4 lbs, but then stayed where I was. I didn't eat so little that my body would have assumed I was starving it or anything, and I didn't loose mucch in the way of inches either. After a year, I gave up because I was so disappointed at the lack of change. I went through a bad patch for a while and then joined this group. It is time for me to start trying to loose weight again, but it is so tough without the positive reinforcement of seeing the scales go down. I know I am healthier and it is easier to keep my BGs in a lower range when I exercise, but I sure would like to loose weight ~ Jayd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
