OT: I LOST TEN LBS

Another thing I have to bring up to my doc is my inability to lose weight. It's been a year since DD was born and I've lost only ten lbs (most of it just this past week---and I haven't been doing anything different). My goal is to lose 60 (and now it is 50---woo hoo!).

I'm thinking I have a hormone imbalance because my forehead broke out a little which is never does, I've been weepy which I never am, and things of that nature. That would affect my ability to lose weight, too.

I guess I'm not really asking anything. Just throwing out how excited I am to have lost 10 lbs! Only 50 more to go. I'm not huge, but definitely needing to slim down some! Maybe that's been affecting my cycles?! I'm so anxious about my appointment that I can't sleep. I'd rather it be hormone imbalance over endometriosis!!! It's almost 1 AM here. G'night!

I agree with Leanna26, if you haven't recently had your thyroid checked, you may want to suggest that they do that......Alot of times after having children it throws your tyroid out of whack.....which affects tons of things; sleep, libido, headaches, weight loss/gain and inability to gain/lose weight.
What time is your appt.?

If you have been having trouble losing weight, and think it may be hormones ask them to check your thyroid. Sometimes during and after pregnancy it goes off wack, which can cause the weight gain.
