When began this journey back in 2009 I weighed 210 lbs, over the course of the next two years I managed to get down to 170-180 depending on the month but I was able to stay in that range. I might also confess that the first 30 lbs of that came off with conducting H1N1 a couple months into my weight loss. By the summer of 2012 I was down to 139 from being in school and running myself ragged, then by summer of 2013 I was back up to about 170-165 and I was happy with that. Then I started the job from hell and I moved...twice. Within the time I moved in February 2014 to now I gained A LOT, I am now sitting at 224. I am so angry with myself and I can't seem to lose the weight. I have quit the job I was at and make it a point to walk for at least a half an hour or longer everyday and I try my hardest to stay within my calories. I also have type 1 diabetes and so I have that working against me as well. It's hard not to just give up and say "I'm stuck at this weight forever." I also feel like my support system is non existent...I feel so stuck and I don't understand why the weight isn't coming off, I feel like I am following my plan but maybe I'm not as well as I think I am? It's also hard to find the energy and motivation most days. I just feel stuck. Any helpful hints or tips from the MFP world?
