Thyroid test!

Well I went to my PCP yesterday and all my test came back "perfect" according to the doctor. Everything was excellent including my thyroid test. I was kind of hoping it would be low, but no, so now I have to figure out the slow weight loss thing. Oh well, I did drop to 188 yesterday so that's good. I think I have a pattern going on here. Lose 4-5 pounds then stall for 2-3 weeks, it's been like this for a long time now and I can't seem to break the cycle . I do keep telling myself that at least its dropping and not going up. I tried on a pair of pants last week that wouldn't button and yesterday they were actually a little loose in the waist , so the inches continue to come off fairly regular. OK, so I'm a FAT person who wants it to all come off yesterday, lol. That's another old habit I can't break. Mary

I'm so sorry Mary!!! I know this is very frustrating for you. But , I love your positive attitude. Just keep working on it! Rachel

Yea for you being able to button those pants! I know what you mean about it being slow...it seems as if it's just 1 or 2 pounds a week, sometimes not even that! I too have noticed a change in the way my clothes are fitting...I know it's in our OCD nature to look at the numbers but I'm trying to make myself believe that it's not what the scales says, it's how I'm feeling and how my clothes are fitting...some days I can really convince myself of that!!! You are doing great and we WILL get to our goal weight....just remember we are only 4 1/2 months out of surgery!!! YOU ARE DOING AND LOOK GREAT!!! Love ya!
