Weigh in today and have stayed the same, feeling a bit deflated and need to re-think my food and exercise.
Last week I had my 6 mthly MOT at the GP and got a phone call to say I've an underactive thyroid, for a few months I've been battling fatigue and put it down to upping exercise and just 'living' so that explains it, and when I have looked back my weight loss has been a bit slow and erratic so maybe it explains a bit.
My GP is really pleased with my overall fitness and weight loss but as I said to her ' I'm not done yet '. She has started me on meds but has suggested no 'dieting' or exercise till I'm established on meds! I'm worried will fall back into unhealthy eating and put a lot of Ibs on till meds kick in !!!!π€
My circuit classes have finished till the 4th of Jan so a bit in panic mode !! Eeeek lol
Good news my cousin who is like an older sister to me is coming from New Zealand for Xmas. It was meant to be a surprise but hubby told me last night, fabulous but ............ my plans for a low cal Xmas are out the window, if I'm having family staying they need fed eh!
Hi Flossie, it's great that you have family coming all that way for Christmas and I'm really pleased for you. Your plan is really sound and I'm sure you will have an excellent time.
Health and happiness is not solely about a number on the weighing scales, it's about positioning ones self to enjoy life to the full, which I'm sure you do anyway.
It's a balancing act and now is not the time to concern yourself too much about losing weight, it's more a time of enjoying yourself.
I hope you have a really good Christmas x

Thanks Tewson,
I had planned a very low key Xmas but it's full on now !!
You are so right that's it's not just about the scales but I do feel a bit cheated as I feel I've put loads of work in for not a lot of Ibs off π€, but hey ho we've got 2016 to be our yearππ.
I'll still be checking in, but have a lovely weekend and enjoy your Xmas.
