[h=5]Weight loss reality day for me. I have not lost anything for 7 weeks and to top it off I am 4lb heavier today so that's 9 weeks behind my 2lb per week target for xmas.
My periods have returned and been regular for the last 4 months (should be happy about that, but I miss not having them) and due to being super heavy they made me anaemic. GP says that will slow metabolism down, I have been on iron for 4 weeks now and have salts to reduce bleeding, energy is back, but weight loss has not resumed.
I know that my food choices haven't been fantastic in the last week, but I have been religiously logging everything on MFP as I always do. I have to be missing something... possibly over estimating my burns? I'm working so hard (I don't see any point working out if I don't make it count) 6 days a week. I cannot give any more to exercise and the doctor told me not to cut more calories. Feel a little deflated today, not to the point of quitting, but I still weigh over 300lb so if everything is slowing down now what's it going to be like further down the road? Anyone without PCOS at my weight following my plan would lose 10lb+ a month.
2 months is a long plateau and I just needed to share (sorry for the whine)[/h]
