Last week I returned to see the endocrinologist. Had blood tests last week and my GP office was sent copies. I was concerned because they rang me twice to get me to come in to review the results 
but I told them the tests were ordered by the specialist and was going to review the results with him. Anyway, he said that all is good. I don't need to have thyroid meds , I'm not likely to develop diabetes and everything else looks normal. I don't need to go back to see him unless there is a spike in my Thyroid results. I need to have a blood test done every 6 months to keep an eye on my thyroid but other than that, I have no health issues.
He is very impressed with my weight loss. As he deals with a lot of people who need to lose weight (diabetics), he often prescribes for weight loss. We discussed the Duromine and he said that if I find I am struggling that I could have another course in a couple of months time to help me with the last 10-15 kilos. Last year he was suggesting another drug to help with weight loss, which involved daily injections, but at this visit said I didn't need that. I'm glad, I had decided I did not want that anyway.
I am slowly getting back to routine. Exercising heaps. I look a lot smaller and many people are commenting but the scales are sticking to the same number. A little frustrating, but I am also getting muscles and feeling much stronger. When I finally am at goal, I'm sure there will be some wicked abs to show off LOL.
