I didn't realize this was a weightloss support thread. HEHE... YAY!
Anyway, I used to drink diet sodas all the time. I am also a type 1 diabetic. (Lady Pi Phi I think we have talked to each other before about this.)
I started working out at the beginning of the year. I don't NEED to lose weight, in fact my endocronologist was kind of against it. I guess when you start losing fat, your insulin can start acting funny because the large amounts I was giving last year were all being absorbed into the fat. Well now that I don't have as much fat as I did, I have had to hack my insulin levels in half! I am telling you, 2 units of humalog goes a long way for me now.
I started working out because I like having energy. I sit behind a desk all day. I need something to keep me going. While I wasn't overweight, I still liked the idea of having muscle and tone over just fat... which is pretty much what I was.
Anyway, my weight fluctuates every day. Just as long as you keep weighing yourself on the same scale you should be fine. But since I started working out in January, I have lost a grand total of 3 pounds overall and over 5 pounds of fat alone.
And ladies, if you don't already know this: if you are working out and eating right but aren't seeing overall weight results, get your body fat measured. Gyms/trainers do it. You are probably losing fat but gaining muscle... which weighs more.
And if you lose weight: reward yourself. I bought a new pair of shoes after I lost my first 5 pounds.
