Well, here it is. The last weekly update that i'm gonna make myself do :) I'm sure to check back in and let you know my progress at some point.
I had my weigh in yesterday. Down another pound. That's 6 pounds in 4 weeks exactly.
Not my best--but also not bad.
This last week, I finished my period FINALLY, had an ultrasound on my thyroid, did a fasting glucose test, and was exhausted.
I had my follow up appointment today with my endocrinologist.
The ultrasound on the thyroid showed 2 small nodules--neither of them big enough to even biopsy so shes not worried about them. I'll get another ultrasound in a year to make sure they aren't growing. If they are, then there is a VERY SLIM chance that the biopsy would show cancer. She isn't worried, and neither am I.
My fasting glucose reading was great, however the draws at 1 and 2 hours were not. I wasn't allowed to take my metformin that day and what it showed was that i was in the "pre-diabetic" range. She told me that she is calling me Insulin Resistant and that I'll probably have to take metformin for the rest of my life.
I'll go in and see her before the end of the year and we'll check my progress on the weight loss and possibly do more blood work to see how everything is changing.
All in all, not a bad appointment.
The Best Six Weeks of Quarantine, EVER

6 lbs in 4 weeks is good! But I know that it doesn't seem like a lot when you're working so hard and changing your diet so much! I've had similar "progress," and I'm basically doing keto (less than 30 carbs a day and watching my calories and other macros) and working out 3-4 times a week. It's so hard to try to "bounce back" (haha) after each pregnancy/nursing and all the weight gain that goes with it for me, and I don't even have some of the health issues you're dealing with. Keep fighting the good fight!
