NYNY Laura (LJ)

Put me down for another maintain. 3rd week in a row stuck at 219. At this
rate I'm afraid I won't make my NYNY goal. Very frustrating when you know
you are OP and exercising but not getting anywhere.

I have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow afternoon. Maybe she'll have
some ideas.

Well, a maintain is almost as good as a loss, so congratulations, Laura.

Thanks Elaine. I guess I should be thankful I did not gain any especially
with TOM around the corner.

I'm glad to hear you've a doctor appt tomorrow. Hopefully you'll get
some information or reassurance that will help you understand why you've
hit a stall.

It's small comfort knowing you're taking all the right steps when you're
going nowhere. Hang on, Laura. I believe you will get past this impasse.

I had a 12 week period where I lost a grand total of 4 pounds. I was doing
everything as recommended and I just waited it out, Lee

Laura,
Keep your chin up sometimes we hit plateaus and it takes a while to get
through it but you will

Same advice as Lee... I have been at this weight for 6 weeks now ... since I
know I 'm doing things right, I just keep going and the weight will go some
day. Plateaus and slow weightloss are just things you start accepting.It 's
easier when you accept that this is the way your body works. I hope the
doctor finds you in good health!
Good luck,

Thanks for all the encouragement. I met with the doctor this afternoon.
First thing on the agenda is to do a complete workup to check my thyroid and
blood sugar. My dehydration issue *might* be a sign of diabetes. Let's hope
not. As for my plateau, she said that many women plateau. I just have hit it
earlier than I expected. She said it probably was just a coincidence it
happened so soon after starting Curves. She said I might also be doing too
much. Between work, Curves and home my life is pretty full. I am going to
limit my number of Curve sessions to 3 or 4 each week. As for the other
symptoms some of them might be pre-menopause (oh, great!. Just what I need
I'm only 48.). She suggested trying some of the herbal estrogen replacement.
More importantly she said don't give up on the WW. She was pleased that I
had lost 26 lbs and that the plateau will break eventually.

So for now I'm hangining there until I go for the blood work up on the 11th.

One other thing that we discussed was my going to a dietician. She has to
first check to see if my insurance covers it. I'll start a new thread on
this topic later. Got to go deal with the tricker treaters at my door before
DH has a fit. Catch you later this evening.

Hope that is what happens with you, don't give up!!
