what do you think? (long)

Hey Edelu- I'm sorry you are having a hard time.  I don't have any real answer for you, but I am glad your doc is looking for answers and believes you are working as hard as you can.  Keep up the exercise, it's good for you even if your weight isn't showing it.  The 'passing you on" may be the best thing for you to find theright answer.  Mabe an endocrinoloist would help.  There has to be an answer!  Hang in there!   Every year I ask for a magic wand for Christmas.  If I get one this year I'll point it straight at you!

Thanks Kim,

Just saw your 80 today.  Way to go girl.  I see you in that red coat easy.  I have this picture of you against the background of snow.  Kinda a whole Lara fantasy.  Congrats to you. Thanks for the wand.

I tried on that coat tonight.  It fits.  I just need a little bit more room.  It looks better than last week.  If I keep things on plan, it will look just right next week.  I'll post a pic if I can get a good one.  I'm still camera shy.  take care- I'll try to get online while I'm away and check in.  where did you have surgery? 

unfortunatly yours is not the first case i have seen do this,

read her blog she went through the same thing and they could find no answers...

but because you lost weight when you upped your calories, then stalled again why dont you try calorie cycling so your body does not know what its going to do.  give it a couple of high calorie days a week and some low ones.. maybe 600- 800 is too low for your body all the time and it does start storing fat...

that works for some people that nothing else works for its worth trying anything and everything.. 

Lee on maintenence board is another one that had to fight for every single pound she lost.. but eventually she did get to goal.

Thanks Mini,

As much as i thought this mornings appointment was going to be a bust i felt really excited when i left.  Although i have a low BMI and relatively little weight to lose according to my numbers my fat percentage is higher than my lean body mass, which according to the /Dr is slowing my weight loss and when i do lose I'm losing lean body mass in equal ratio to fat.   anyhow she showed me some case studies it's relatively rare but it can be corrected and that in turn will (hopefully/) correct the metabolism. i feel hopeful that i can correct this.  The fact that i have been given something to work toward is really a gift at this point.  Again thanks for checking in.  

 
My guess is going to be that you should keep doing what your doing till somebody (profesional gives you some solid answers. Some people are just slow losers. I'm thining eventully you'll get there. Check with Diane on VSGMG as she was a slow loser...but keeped to the plan your doing and she got to doal just fine.....just a little later than most.....

Hope this helps in some way....

Thanks Frisco,

Yeah I'm feeling hopeful today.  Had a good meeting with the Dr and the idea now is since i have my eating down well to work on bringing up my lean body mass.  The fact that I have something to work toward that may correct this feels really good.

Oh shut the **** up Carmelita i am not in a stall.  I will tell you what is bull****  What's bull**** is that when someone reads another's story they decide it's bull**** because it doesn't fit into the perimeters of their knowledge or experience.  Try acknowledging something other than the voices in your own head. Or not who gives a fuck!
