Only lost a kilo this week on SS+. Followed it to the letter, even my CDC was disappointed and hinted that I should stop. My initial weight loss has just been fluid and I am now doing a kilo a week. That is no where near what I should loose at my weight.. Feeling icky and unmotivated to continue. What's the point?
Only a kilo.... so dissapointed

Don't give up! If you're being 100% then it will catch up eventually, are you drinking enough?
1 kg is still over 2lb of fat off.
Not very supportive of your CDC tho! pay no attention and carry on xx

I understand. It is just very very hard for me at the moment to think about how to motivate myself going on if all and all I have just lost around 2 kilo's of fat in 3 weeks of starving myself. I know I carry/carried a lot of water weight and that is off. We are still not certain if those 2 kilo's are actually fat or still more fluids. In ketosis still, not loosing inches, and barely losing weight.
Been crying since my weigh in as my only reason to do this was to power lose weight so I would be eligible for taking clomid. If it is only this little weight loss from now on I will never meet the deadline of making it on time to be allowed any fertility treatment before I am 40. As you understand the realization of that is devastating.

Oh irulan - hugs to you darling.
Please stick with it - you have all the motivation you need in your ivf hopes. It will work, it has to - if you're in ketosis then you are burning fat.
I'm on my iPhone so can't see your stats, but you could be loosing some internal fat around your organs, which is just as important and will only help you on the long run, especially once you conceive.
Chin up my love, give it another week xx

Don't give up, You're on a very low cal diet, it's IMPOSSIBLE not to lose weigh on such little calories!
You'r losses will catch up with themselves and you'll drop loads at once, I really hope you carry on and reach your goal to have IVF,
You have such a genuine reason to get the weight off, If you stick to the plan you can not fail to lose weight, God luck hun xx

A loss is still a loss and as long as its not a gain its still coming off.. You might have lost more in inches.. Weight loss is a funny business but stick to it up the water and carry on.. We're all here to support each other YOU can DO this...

Irulan. I wrote a reply to you on one of other threads. I was in the exact same position as you. Couldn't take clomid till my BMI was under 30 let alone qualify for ivf funding. Please read what I said and if you have any questions I'll happily tell you all I can. What I do know is, this diet won't work nor will any other until your thyroid is kicked into gear again. I am on metformin the last 12months and suffer terrible from the runs etc with it and have no appetite but still wasn't losing until I went to endocrinologist. Don't waste your time with a gp, you need to see a specialist! Have you anti tpo and anti tg tested. There has to be something up. As my endo says, if it looks like a dog, barks like a dog it probably is a dog and you my dear have all the symptoms on being a dog(god I just realised that analagy could come across quite offensive, sorry not meant to be, hope you get my meaning). Don't lose hope, it takes on average 3 diff endos before you find one who specialises in thyroid issues, most specialise in diabetes! I have a really good website and forum and lots of ppl have lists of good endos in uk so perhaps you would find one in your area. If you want I'll pm to you.
Yea I read your story Sun and I am first having a private blood test done to see what my insulin levels are like, as I am on metformin for a suspected insulin resistance, and secondly I am making an appointment privately with an endocrinologist on Monday. I've read their specialisms and this one woman seems to also specialize in obesity, fertility and thyroids with the regular diabetes. It's gonna cost a fortune but I don't have the time anymore to wait. Been trying and waiting for 8 years now and I just can't get the help I need.
Only suspicious GP's who almost boldly ask you if you aren't secretly munching on cake even though you say you diet. You know I was in hospital 2 years ago for 10 days. Nil by mouth and I didn't lose a pound... That should have triggered someone to investigate but it was discarded as a fluke. I've had thyroid symptoms all my life and it fluctuates like crazy. I mean I am NOT taking them atm and my results are normal... 6 months ago it was tested on 125mg and it was still high. I am weird.

Had to get my bloodwork done and they weigh you too for the records.. I gained a pound. Checked it at home and yes. A pound gained while I follow this diet to the letter.
I think it's time to quit and see those specialists. Starving myself and being hungry all day and gaining weight does not seem like a normal thing to do.
