Stick with it! It's a long term lifestyle change, not a crash diet! It's about soooo much more than a figure on the scale. It's also about so much more than diet alone.

As Zeromilediet said, your body is going through so many changes at the moment, especially given your diabetes. For a while there my scale wasn't moving either but my pants were still getting looser. I tend to lose a far bit for a while, plateau for a while, then the weight comes off again in dribs and drabs. My body composition is what has changed the most recently, even though the scale hasn't moved as much.

Do you have any digestive problems or health issues besides the diabetes? I was only able to really start losing weight when my leaky gut and consequential casein intolerance was diagnosed by a nutritionist/naturopath, as my body was in a constant state of inflammation and I was just so darn lethargic and tired all the time.

These are a couple of great articles if you haven't read them already...

I've sent through a friend request as well, good luck

Part of the issue might be how fast you lost initially. Your body can't sustain that rate of loss, so perhaps it's taking a little break. Also, are you approaching your menstrual period? Or have you recently started a new exercise regimen? If you're retaining water, that will cause scale issues. Indigestion, irregular bowel movements, not drinking enough water, and sometimes even a lack of sleep can all affect the scale.

If you haven't already, I suggest taking your measurements. And some photos. Underwear or swimsuit preferably, or at least snug-fitting but not restrictive clothing like a tank top and leggings. Take measurements and photos once a month or so. Those will give you a better representation of your progress than the scale will.

Her words are powerful.
I don't share all her beliefs (I enjoy fasting. Sometimes I need to so my always sensitive gut gets a break).
And I have to stay very low carb. My blood sugars head up no matter the type of carb (the "safe" ones don't spike it as bad) and my Reactive Hypglycemia kicks back in.

Hang in there!!!

Here are some ideas to consider. This is from Mark's Daily Apple not from my limited knowledge of weight loss. Hope one of these ideas can help.

Break Through Your Weight Loss Plateau
Pat yourself on the back: You’ve lost weight! Or, at least you had lost weight, but for the past few days or even weeks, the scale hasn’t been budging. You don’t feel like you’re doing anything different with your diet. You’re keeping carbs low, eating the appropriate amount of protein, and you’re moderating all of it with a consistent exercise program.

For most people attempting to lose weight, there comes a time when they reach that inevitable plateau where their motivation is soaring but they’ve stopped seeing results. If you’re nodding right now, don’t worry. What you’re experiencing is totally normal. Plateaus, whether they relate to weight, to your job, or your closest relationship, are a call to charge things up again, refine your strategies and keep moving forward.

So rather than give up and maintain your current weight, or worse yet, drown yours sorrows in a half dozen donuts, there are numerous actions you can take to reignite your program.

Here are our top 5 picks for breaking through your weight plateau:

Consider Intermittent Fasting
Although Conventional Wisdom tells us that fasting forces the metabolism into slow motion causing your body to cling onto fat stores, recent scientific studies have suggested otherwise. According to an article in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, alternate day fasting may result in an improvement in insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake, as well as decreases in fat mass. While science is still unearthing the precise mechanisms for why and how this occurs, the previously-held idea that you have to eat six meals a day or more in order to keep your metabolism stoked to lose weight simply isn’t true.

Lucky for you, intermittent fasting (IF) can be done in a number of ways. From daily fasting, by only eating during a 5-hour time period, or setting aside one to three days a week to fast, the combinations are virtually endless. The important thing is to know is what kind of intermittent fasting technique will work best for you and your lifestyle, and this can only be determined by a little experimentation. As long as IF is done correctly, it can kick your body off of its weight plateau in just a matter of days. And keep in mind that IF is not about starving yourself. It’s about eating in a manner that mimics the natural irregularity of Grok’s eating patterns.

Write it Down
A slice of bread here, a handful of tortilla chips there – it all adds up. When we start to lose weight, we might be inclined to loosen the reins on what we can eat. Even though occasional indulgences should be enjoyed guilt-free, when you’re still trying to lose weight, those seemingly benign snacks still count.

So for one week, write down everything that you eat. Everything. From the sugar packet you dropped into your coffee to the two bites of of Cherry Garcia you snuck from cousin Sal’s dessert bowl at your niece’s sweet 16, write it down. A food diary is an honest look into what you’re actually eating, not what you think you are eating.

Need more convincing that you might not be being honest with yourself? According to the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, those who kept a food diary in a 20-week study dropped double the weight of the dieters who did not chronicle their food choices. Keeping a food diary makes you accountable for what you eat because it forces you to consider your actions before you take them. This is an effective safeguard against mindless snacking or emotional eating.

If you’re looking for an online food journal, check out the one at FitDay.com. It’s free and super easy to use.

Side Note: The Primal Eating Plan is meant to be intuitive and easy. One of the great things about Primal eating is that you don’t have to count calories and track every bite of food you consume. This is why we only recommend the food diary as a temporary method to uncover any dietary indiscretions. Once you’ve honed in on and refined your behaviors we say ditch the journal and get on with eating Primal in a natural way that requires little to no effort.

Switch Up Your Workouts
They say variety is the spice of life, and this holds true when it comes to your workouts. Without change you might find yourself dreading the monotony of regular gym sessions and simply lose motivation. Additionally, your body can become used to to the same caloric burn and muscle exertion as it becomes more efficient at completing regular movements. Give your brain and brawn the wake up call they need by shaking up your usual routine with some new additions.

Try increasing the speed as you exercise and do short bursts of intense exercises (such as sprinting) for one to two minutes followed by small rest periods. These short bursts of anaerobic activity will stimulate your body to release human growth hormone, which helps to burn fat while maintaining muscle mass.

If that doesn’t do the trick, try getting super Primal by ditching the gym, shoes, and structure for some free form activity. If this doesn’t keep things interesting we’re not sure what will.

Keep in mind that 80% of your body composition is a result of your diet. The remaining 20% is determined by how you effectively manage your sleeping patterns and stress levels, how you exercise and other lifestyle factors. Increasing your workout intensity is but one way to tweak an otherwise optimized weight loss plan.

Reduce Carbs
Try reducing your carb intake to 50-100 grams per day to reduce insulin production and fire up your fat metabolism. Make sure that you’re eating enough protein for your weight (we suggest using the .7-1 gram per pound of lean body weight formula), eating the right vegetables and snacking on high-fat foods to keep you feeling satisfied.

Keep on Keeping on
Remember that losing 10 lbs when you are starting at 300 isn’t nearly as difficult as losing 10 when you are approaching your ideal weight (say, going from 170 to 160 for a male). Don’t let this come to you as discouragement. Just recognize that changes might not come as quickly as they once had and resolve to stay the course.

Also, know that The Primal Blueprint lifestyle is about long term goals. Though you can lose weight quickly on the PB, keep your head straight and remember that the emphasis should always be on a healthy, Primal lifestyle – not a get-fit-quick routine. You can do it, but it may take time.



"Mark's Daily Apple"

I wouldn't worry about the "plateau." I sometimes think the body just needs some time to rearrange some of the internal chemistry before losing weight again. For example, I was 208 for about 5 weeks from 225 that I had lost in the first 4 weeks. I thought that I had to change something and was getting worried. That said my vitals have improved unimaginably, my BP is 112/76 down from 140/90ish which fluctuated between stage I hypertension and pre-hypertensive. I can't wait to see my blood test. Well I'm down to 204, so I'm starting to lose weight again, but I think that patience is needed. You didn't get yourself where you are overnight, give your body time to adjust. Don't forget that you may swap muscle for fat. Just because the scale dial doesn't move doesn't mean nothing is happening.
