Plateauing

Over the last two weeks I have not lost much weight. Today I weighed in at 85.6kg. My weight went down to 85.2kgs then back up to 85.9 and now to 65.6kg. Not sure what is happening but thought that it might be that over the last 3 weeks I have been hitting the gym, 2 or 3 times a week . Muscel weighs more than fat, so they say.

Fitted into a pair of size 14 capri pants last Saturday, I was exstatic. Haven't been a 14 since 1978 and that was just after I got married and had been to Weight Watchers for 6 months. Fell pregnant just after that and then my weight gain started again and has not really looked back. I do think this is when my Thyroid started to not function.

Medications: I have now reduced my blood pressure tables to a 1/3 of what I was on and my Thyroid medication is now down by half. Didn't realise that my weight related to my thyroid medications but obviously it does.

Food: Visited the Dietitian last Wednesday, she is really happy at my weight loss. After discussing my food diary she reminded me that I need to eat protein foods at each meal, that included morning & afternoon tea, so instead of fruit for morning tea I now have an egg or yoghurt. She recommended frozen yoghurt as a bit of variety to normal yoghurt.

Here's hoping the weight drops down a little bit faster this week.
