Stuck

The scales just don't seem to be budging, I got properly back on track & have been sticking to my ww points but the scales just aren't moving. I have continued with my walking but not as much, going steadier as I don't want my sore spot to get worse. I do feel much slimmer though, since this last push I have started I have lost less than 4 lbs but I feel as though it is about 10lbs. I really should have measured myself as I have definately lost inches. I think the old cliche of muscle being heavier than fat is definately applying to me. I just hope I see some results on the scales for all my hard work soon. I must not give up!

My appointment with the doctor went Ok last week, on her scales I had only lost 1kg in 4 weeks so I wasn't very impressed. She did prescribe orlistat for me & I had my 1st day on them on saturday (I worked all day friday & couldn't risk the side effects) The day went really well food wise, I kept within the fat recommendations, we were at a barbie so I took my own chicken, I managed to ignore the olives & houmous which I love. I had none of the usual side effects, no change in habits! However I had a terrible night on saturday night with palpitations till 4.30am & a horrible taste in my mouth. I am very sensitive and can't tolerate too much caffeine/aspartamine. I had had 2 glasses of diet coke all day but one was just before bedtime so it could have been that. I will try again, possibly not till friday though, if I have palpitations again though I will ditch them. I have looked up the symptoms & palpitations are not listed but anxiety is, I didn't feel anxious though as I am used to palpitations, have had them for years, they just kept waking me up.

Anyway I will go, I lost 1 lb at ww last week, I think that is about all I should aim for, 1/2 - 1lb /week, our leader told us of a lady who got to goal losing 4 stone at 1/2lb a week. I just need to keep going & not give in because it's too slow.

Cheerio for now blogland, Milly x
