diets.

Question
i run a slimming group and have been working with a lady for a few years. she is complaining that she has only lost half a stone. lately she has lost nothing. she has a lot of medical issues. on meds for cancer, diabetes and cholesterol. she was doing weight watchers for a long time and sometimes we follow healthy eating plans. her tracker shows me that she does not over eat. can her meds be slowing it down grateful for a reply.

Answer
Since I am not the one working with this person and know nothing about her medical history, diet history, exercise regimen, medications, etc.... I cannot make suggestions or even begin to guess what is going on with her!!  I cannot comment on meds because I don't know what the meds even are!  My suggestion would be to speak with her doctor concerning her medications and their effects if any.  As far as weight she may need to work with a professional such as a registered dietitian.  So many things can be effecting her weight loss, especially if she has "a lot of medical issues" and she needs someone that can work with her one-on-one to pinpoint the causes and help her to work through them.
