Ok, I can't find Pound of Cure

Doing those tonite! I promise!!

Hey y'all....... sorry, to interrupt this "hairy" story..... lol lol - but I gotta share w/y'all some great news.

I had a dreaded doc appointment this morning for a complete physical and usual blood work...... etc... etc...

I have been having some real issues with my Thyroid lately - it's lazy, which means that it seriously slows down allllllllll of my body functions, including weightloss. Because of that, I've been putting on some serious weight! Just as an example..... my weight increased by 7 pounds from our weigh-in yesterday morning till today (all on my scale) and I hardly ate anything all day yesterday because I knew that the doc's office would weigh me.

The doc has doubled my perscription and then "yelled nicely" at me for having waited this long before I came in...... lol lol lol

So..... long story short - I expect to see some serious weight loss as soon as the new dosage kicks in. I AM SOOOOOOOOO EXCITED. Today is a good day!!!!!!!!! (Sure beats being depressed about being fat....... lol lol) I can't wait to be a real contributing team members instead of always keeping my weight the same or going up when i should be going down.

The downside to this is that he found a tiny lump in my breast and I have to get a mamogram asap. He said he wasn't really worried about it but just wanted to check it out to make double sure.

:-) :-) :-)

Hi ya Jo!! Sounds like you had a good doctor's visit. At least now you have a plan. I was a nurse for an endocrinologist before my daughter was born. I've told others, you HAVE to get your dose checked!! What you need will change as your weight changes. Then, after being on a new dose for about 6 weeks, you need to get it checked again. It takes that long for the dose change to reach "full throttle" and level off.

As for the lump, keep us informed and keep a positive attitude. I'll be praying for you.

Okay Cats. I'm off for a bit. Got my workout in and now I wanna go wash off the stench. I really worked up a sweat big time!! I'll check in again this evening.

Hey Cindy...... TY for your support. I'll need all I can get now that it's finally gonna pay off.

Actually, I changed doc's because the other doc just kept telling me that he wasn't willing to change my dosage and that I was just lazy and needed to exercise more and that I wasn't working hard enough because all my numbers were as close to normal as could be expected - yet he couldn't explain my chronic fatigue and all the other symptoms that go along with it.

Today's doc was appalled at that and clearly understood that although my numbers may be close to normal, normal may not be what's right for me if my symptoms persisted. I am soooooo happy to have a doc that understands how I've been feeling for almost a year now. I am soooooo looking forward to having my energy back because I really am a go-getter and don't do well as a couch potato. Life is gonna change for me and I'm excited!!!!

TY for all your support. I really appreciate it.
