Weight Loss: The Incredible Shrinking Woman, Me!

I have always been thin.  I weighed 88 pounds with three children, and could eat anything and never gain.  Abouit 40 years old, I started to gain.  I weighed 127 pounds, and the doctor said, it was too much for me, even though I looked good.  He said, my heart wasn't use to the weight.  So he started to help me.  I did welll but at about 45 I sky rocketed to 158 pounds.  He went nuts.  I don't know what happened.

So I got a WII Fit and started to count calories I knocked off 32 pounds in three months, but then, nothing.  And I mean nothing.  I was stuck at 127 again.  I thought well, that's a normal weight for me.

Then, my nutty doctor left, and I got a new one.  Again, he said, my weight was fine, but when I told him how I lost the 32 pounds in so short a time, but couldn't budge the scale after another six months, he said, diabetes.

He said, I had insulin resistance.  He started me on Metfomin and in a week I've lost four pounds.

Now, I can eat anything again, and the weight comes off.  So if you're stuck at a plateau, it may be something more than that.  Six months, and no movement, ask your doctor about insulin resistance plus he said, as long as I stay on this medication I won't get diabetes.  yeah!  My husband has it, and it's not a disease you want.

I need to go shoppoing for skinny jeans.
