Hooray!! I was remembering my first round and how every time I got on the scale, it felt like Christmas. Down, down, down! I would literally squeal. This round was feeling a lot more like Groundhog's Day (how appropriate). It was so good to see I released a pound. It's not much compared to the extremely frustrating start, but we're early in the round and if I have a few days like this, it will make up for it. I take progesterone and stop 4 days a month for my non-existent period, so I stop the same time every month. I always stop on the 4th. I think this somewhat regulates my cycle and would definitely put me in PMS. It will be very telling to see how releases continue this next week in particular. It would be so fantastic if we got rolling now.
I know it's a long shot, but my goal is to get to 119 by March 10. That's pushing it. Really pushing it. It would mean that in the next 35 days I'd need to release 23.4 pounds. I'm hoping my body will make up for the slow start, and as I said, I'm adding 30 minutes on the tread climber 5 days a week. This may be enough. I'll be thrilled to get to even the low to mid 120s, but I'm keeping my lofty goal. It's keeping me focused.
I have a doctors appointment this morning with the head MD at the practice I've been going to. She hasn't been taking new patients but is available now. She's apparently the hormone expert, especially when it comes to thyroid. I'm excited to meet her, but nervous at the same time. I need to tell her why I put on 15 pounds since the last time they saw me as well as explain I'm doing a round of HCG. Fortunately, many doctors are now aware of the protocol and open to it. Here's hoping.
Off to dose! TTFN!
EDITED TO ADD:
I just got back from the doctor and loved, loved, loved her. She said my thyroid has tanked since last June (when my father's health crashed - he passed a month later). She's totally changing my dose and increasing my progesterone as well, both of which will help tremendously with my weight. YAY!!!

that is VERY good news about your new Dr.! I'm thinking your new Rx will help with your losses too. You are on the right track with your whole approach, and have the expertise now to see it through! Hang in there!!!
So glad you got the invite- can you see my blog? I haven't update yet, so there's nothing new yet, but I just wanted to know....
Yeah for the scale moving! It's marvelous when you find a doc who knows how to help you.....
I started on natural desiccated thyroid in November of 2012. My hypo symptoms disappeared with the med change.
I did get in! I can't wait to hear how you're doing this round and what you're doing!
RS, is that armour? My symptoms are better since finally getting diagnosed, but I definitely need an adjustment!
I'm on naturethroid not armour, but both are natural desiccated thyroid.
