Well, I talked to the doctor last night and no we are not uping my thyroid. It would seem that my body is at high normal which means that it is at optimal level in all things. Side note...very fertile here, so glad I am waiting.

They do not want my body burning out. HMMM, sucks to be me!! We also discussed that I may be at a plateau since I lost so much before I started this and that she believes the weight changing so much in a week is due to my body trying to break through the plateau.

I guess this all means that we have to change the attack plan for this.

I am in such a bad mood and disappointed over this. It's like what can I do now????

AArrggh! Must be frustrating for you. What do they mean by "your body burning out"? Just curious... and glad that your thyroid is okay for the sake of your long-term health.

Also curious about plateauing, and wondering if anyone's (temporarily) switched their way-of-eating to break through a plateau phase. If so, was it successful?

If they up it it will cause my body to go into overdrive and burn more than it needs. I would litterally overheat my engines. But it is very fustrating!

I am calling my dietian today and we are going to talk game plan to break this barrier. Before I decided to do this I had lost 40 pounds and that is why my doc thinks I am at a plateau. I will let you know what we decide on.

But I am really irked by this.

I am just so fustrated with it all!! Here I am trying and eating right and bam another wall is put in my way. But you know there is one silver lining even if I don't lose like I want one I will be healthier and two for some reason Jeff thinks my body is beautiful. No worries in that arena.

BUT i am still irked that a goal I set for myself is now out of reach...or seems to be.
