I may have FINALLY found the answer to lose the weight!!!

June 2012. Last year I tried HcG again. This time from a doctor. The first thing she did was test my thyroid. As it turned out, the level was so high that even if I stopped eating for a month, I probably would have only lost a few pounds then gained them back in no time.  I went to my regular doctor who also ran a blood test. He agreed that the level was too high. I started taking meds to regulate my thyroid. I began the HcG which I learned too late, was not a good idea. I lost some weight the first 2 weeks, then started to gain.What the hell was wrong with me?? Not to bore you, if I haven't already, but I had a problem that I was not capable of dealing with on my own.

Skip ahead 8 months. I have already had my meds increased 3 times. It's January. I have just started NutraSystem. Doing good. First week I last 5 pounds, next week 4 pounds, 3rd week 2 pounds.....are you seeing a pattern? Ok, by week 8 I am slowly starting to gain weight. It was not me!! I followed the diet to the letter!! I don't cheat.

Back to the doctor. More blood tests. HE thinks my levels are fine. HE thinks!! I DON'T THINK!! What's worse, HE thinks I don't need to be on thyroid meds anymore!! Ok, again I will skip the details and get to the end. The nurse/office manager in HIS office (who I have been a patient of for 10 years) understood and spoke to HIM on my behalf. She explained my concerns (so I won't have to pay for an appointment to see HIM) and as a result he not only increased my dose, but he wrote the script for BRAND NAME ONLY!!!  You can't see, but I am jumping up and down with happiness......LOL

I haven't had a blood test to check the level since the med change, but I did start another diet. Five weeks ago I went on Physician's Weight Loss VLCD plan. The first week I lost 6 pounds!!!  2nd week I lost 2 pounds, 3rd week I lost 2.5 pounds, 4th week I lost 3 pounds. See a pattern!! The meds work, the diet works, but there is still one more important piece to my weight loss, so far success and that is motivations.

I have motivation.  Besides wanting to look and feel better, have a trip planned. I trip in which I will see my family who I have not see for 4 years or longer. I am also going to see someone from my past. Now that is what I call motivation!!

So far, so good. To date from January with my weight losses and gains to day, I have lost over 20 pounds. I still have 25 pounds  to go but I continue to stay on the diet, even though I do cheat a little, but I am still losing the weight. Every day, every week I see the pounds fall off.  I look much better and I feel much better. Only time will tell if I really found the answer that I have been looking for for so long.

If you are having problems losing weight or with anything else, get help. See your doctor. If your doctor can't give you the answers to help with your situation, speak to them, and if that doesn't work find a doctor who will help you.
