My weight loss has pretty much stalled at this point. I am stuck at 190 lbs. I should say that it varies between 188 and 191. Just depends on what is going on. Anyway, I think my plateau is due mainly to the fact that my thyroid is doing all sorts of crazy things. I finally went to the dr and she lowered my dose. Of course she was thrilled for me about the weight loss, but she said I should've come in sooner because that big of a weight loss would surely effect my dosing. She checked my TSH levels and mine were at 1.6. 2.0 is the lowest they want you to be. So, she had to lower my dose. Totally not the way I thought that worked, but oh well. I learned something new! So I am on a lower dose and my hair has already started to not fall out nearly as much and I am not freezing cold all the time. Yay!! I'm hoping that this will also jump start my weight loss again. I'm not counting on it, but I am hoping. I don't know what is going on and why I can't get under 188. I know that is not my ideal body weight. For me, I'd like to get to 170. I think I'd be happy and would look really healthy. I guess my body has other thoughts? The WW program has worked great, but now I just can't bust through this plateau, even though I've been working out and all that. It's just not happening for me. Part of me wants to give up and just eat whatever the heck I want, but I know I won't feel good if I do that. So, for now, I'm going to just stick with what I feel best doing...eating healthy & exercising when I can. Maybe some day my body will catch on!!
