Bad weight week
I can't seem to do this weight loss right. I've been going to the gym, trying to eat lower carb but I still gained 5 lbs. this week. I'm beyond frustrated right now. I'm seeing my Dr. today and I'm seeing a nutritionist tomorrow, so I'm hoping to get some answers. I'm sick of being fat, but I'm also sick of trying and failing diets (way of eating). I also thought exercise was supposed to help my blood sugars go down and that's not happening either, my morning fasting blood sugars have been in the 200's and that's with insulin. I know I just need to give my body time to get used to all the changes, but it's hard.
OK, I'm done with my pity party. I'll update after I get home from my appointments today, I really need to plan better. I have my Dr. appointment this afternoon and my eye appointment this evening. I need to get a planner. 
Have a great day.

Good wait
If you are diabetic then the weight loss is a bit of a challenge but it can be done. My father is a diabetic and he went on a weight loss program and for the first month he only gained weight. He just stayed the course and continued to see his doctor who sent him to a nutrition expert and they were able to modify his diet to make him happy and help him lose weight. Don't be discouraged because it will happen. The key is to make healthy choices and eventually the weight will drop. The worst part would be that you are fit and carrying a few extra pounds. I am very active and I never lost any weight because I never ate right; but after getting serious this winter the diet has changed and the weight is dropping. I just don't eat the double monster burger with everything and a bucket of fries after I work out any more. I am eager to lose a lot of this weight before I become a diabetic because every person in my family over 50 is on insulin and I know that my weight will trigger it sooner than later so I had better get fit as fast as possible. I will keep an eye on your progress because I know it will happen.
