Health plan running amuck
| Mon, 01-10-2005 - 8:50pm |
Well I started 1 month ago, exercising 1-2 hours a day, eating the South Beach diet, and have only lost 1.5 lbs in a month - 2 1/2 inches also. I feel this is way too slow! What am I doing wrong? Is is because I am 43 and my metabolism has really slowed down? Help - I feel I have put out so much effort and nothing is showing, except I do feel better and love the walking!



Has your doctor checked your thyroid? I don't know how old you are; but when you are going thru the change...it can change your thyroid. I would ask your doctor.
Then come back and tell us what the doc said.
Stay with us also!

I'd check with your Dr.first.That way things that may prevent you from losing steadily...like your thyroid,can be ruled out,or treated and then you can be on your way to losing at a faster rate.Even just going in,your Dr. may be able to give some suggestions or alternatives to help the weight loss along.
Good luck :o)

You said it... You feel better! That should be enough. Your body may be adjusting to your new lifestyle. Are you using weights? You could be gaining muscle and losing fat, thus not showing a real change. Do your clothes fit better? That's an excellent measure of how you are progressing. Please don't give up! You are doing so good!
