We will conquer this fat !!!!!!!!...
Weigh in day and check up at my GP today...Took my three files of journaling so far over the last 10 and a half weeks, received blood tests for Thyroid changes , and changed my Duromine dosage...

Doc very happy with my cm loss and weight loss so far ..

Doc says Thyroid results show my TSH level is up 4.5 NOT MUCH BUT NOT GOOD ..and this could be hindering me from losing more weight weekly ,so she has given me an extra 25 mg to take with my existing 100mg every alternate day, just to get my metabolism up and going again..

Doc has agreed that I MUST CONTINUE ON 30MG, not 40MG anymore, as it will help me to eat my calories for the day, and not hinder my thyroid to become EVEN more sluggish , {as I do not eat enough when I am on 40mg}...

Doc has given me a repeat of D, for two months, as she says she can trust me ,because I am on this forum and log in everyday and ask advice and share my progress,show commitment and she feels I am in good hands with all of your feedback, Yay Kate, Smick, Shelly, and Hotfizz, you guys rock , and Kayle and Melmo and all of you others whom I HAVE NOT MENTIONED BY NAME, forgive me ....

exercise is key , and all water of course, and she suggests I snack on raw veg and fruit and nuts more often..

Doc also says, that I must accept that I will be doing this for at least another year, and that between now and the end of this year, if I only lose another 5 , that is fine, and good for my body at this stage, so it will be a total of 10 -12 kg, for 6 months, but it could be 15 kg if my thyroid meds kick in and regulate while on D ,so I am so happy with her positive ,trusting and honest attitude towards me ,and me being on this D forum ...

Between having such a gr8 doc, D and you all, I CAN WIN THIS FAT BATTLE ...

May you all have a super , weight loss week full of a positive, happy ,ongoing out come ...

Thank you all of you for all your encouragement and positive feedback and even when we fail some weeks we seem to keep smiling and continue to move forward no matter what, love it !!!!

I am really pleased for you. You give me hope that with the thyroid I can continue on the D with a good result. I can only hope that my doctor is so supportive. I have been putting off making an appointment with the endocrinologist but after reading this I am determined that I will put it on my to do list for tomorrow.
I'm in for the long term too. It took me more than a decade to get this large so a year or there about to get it off and keep it off is a year or so well spent.
You give back plenty of support and encouragement too. This journey would be so much harder if it were not for you and others here like you.
Have a wonderful day.

Good job, i am really happy for you and i understand that it is hard to lose weight with your Thyroid problems and other medical reason you may have. I know that i am having a hard time shedding the kilos , it gets even harder when you lose a lot , then the weighloss stops for a while . But the doctors are right sometimes you gotta accept the reality , your body cant just lose weight quick its build that way and your body function hormones and everything else works a certain way. I know because my doctor tolled me your Hormones are like that you cant change it, unless you go medication but a soon as you stop there back again, therefor its always good to have a balanced diet and a good lifestyle . Sometimes we cant fix our problems but we can help our body by eating well and exercising . Look at us all, we are trying and we are losing weight, it doesnt matter if its going to take 6 months or 1 year the weight is coming off even if its slow and steady. Keep going , becuase i gotta keep going myself , cant let ourself down we gotta move forward. I wish you lots of luck and i hope and i know you will get there. ;)
