Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 Ok it took me 4 months - yes you read that right it took me 4 months to lose 10 pounds and I have been eating clean and I really hit the gym hard. And I am not near my goal weight I have another 35 pounds to lose. But I am doing the snoopy dance that I am 10 pounds thinner even if it takes me so long to lose it <sigh>. I have had my basil metabolic rate tested and it said that I burn 1420 calories a day. I zig zag my calories between 1,300 - 2,100 calories during the week and I don't take a free day. When I asked the doctor about it he said it most likely was my thyroid disease working against my efforts. He said patience and consistency will get me where I want to be <ok so he is thin, a man and I just wanted to bop him one LOL!>. I have seen some posts about ladies disappointed with no weight loss. Well I can relate but if you push on it does eventually come just never as fast as you would like I think. Michele T Quote
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 Congratulations Michele, both for your weight loss and your dedication! Have you gotten your thyroid tested? The doctor should have done that for you. Anyway, keep up the great work and you'll reach your goals!

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 Yeah I'm on meds for my thyroid and it is in normal range now but the doctor says it isn't that simple that thyroid disease has a spiral effect on many things (like my cholesterol is high 239 and it hasn't budged an inch even after eating BFL for a year and half) and man doesn't do it as good as God intended. I figure the tortoise always wins in the end that keeps me going every day even though the damn scale doesn't tell me anything good usually LOL!

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 Wow, that's tough. Good for you Michele. Keep with it and your body will lose, at it's own pace! Don't know if you know Ileen at all, she hangs out on a low carbing Bulletin Board. She has a thyroid condition as well, and she stuck with it and looks fabulous. It's a real test of patience though I'm sure!

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Posted February 25, 2006 Hi I'm one of those women who has not lost a single pound after 12 weeks! In fact this week I gained 1 pound and not of the lean kind. I owe it to my terrible free day where I got a little out of control. :-) I am going finish up week 12 and go on some more. How about another 12?! I have around 10 pounds to lose and it just doesn't want to budge. Just remember Slow and Steady wins the race Ok it took me 4 > > months - yes you read that right it took me 4 months to > > lose 10 pounds and I have been eating clean and I really hit the > > gym > > hard.
