Dr appt. update....

I went back to my dr. today. I have been very lax dietwise lately, between stress eating, holidays, etc, and to be honest I was dreading going. I could not stand the thought of seeing a gain on that scale, because I am ONLY weighing at the dr's office now. I fretted all morning, and finally decided to bite the bullet. I knew I'd exercised plenty, and hoped the indulgences would maybe balance out to a stall.

I LOST FOURTEEN POUNDS! I am going to attribute at least part of the success to the new medication I take that helps metabolize insulin properly. This has to have helped when I screwed my carbcounts, but I am so happy! I go back June 10th and I am determined to do just as well.

My blood pressure is good, cholesterol is good, and my dr. is very pleased with me. Atkins is being very, very good to me. And to top it all off, I started my period yesterday. I was unhappy about it, because it's yucky, but at least I have periods again. I didn't for so long, and now I'm excited!

Hugs

there are different levels of "normal" depending on the doc. i know that my fertility becomes non existence when i am out of whack with it


My mom has the same problem. She was able to get prego with me but it took them 6 yrs to have my bro and it was due to her thyroid. in fact within 48 hours, which is how long it takes to get back to normal, after the regulated it and killed her thyroid she was pregant with my bro.
