Hi - New to Forum

[odar]

Hi all - I'm new to the forum and need to lose about 20lbs. However in the past and really right up to now I am eating very little calories and exercise every day! According to fitday - my total calories for the day is 1100. I am 50 years old and have type 2 diabetes. I am also on antidepressant - clelexa - 20mgs a day. I need to desperately lose weight for my diabetes but nothing is working. I eat 3 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil a day to help speed up my metabolism and I supplement with thermogenics to help with fatigue so I can exercise. I would welcome any help I can get. thanks

Um..I'm not exactly sure where the coconut oil or the thermogenics is going to help, but welcome to the forum!

You say you aren't losing weight..are you sure about your calorie count? We tend to underestimate how much we really are eating. Have you done a food diary before? If you can record everything you eat (honestly) then you can look back and make adjustments.
