187.4lbs.
90mg Armour Thyroid X 3 – .30 HCG – 150mg whole adrenal – 80mg adrenal cortex – 30mg pregnenolone
There was a drop in my weight this week. I tripled my thyroid meds and lost 4 pounds in 2 days. That is crazy. Yesterday I started back on the HCG. No loading or craziness, just trying to eat right and see if there is loss. My increase in thyroid replacement goes like this: one day 180mg, the next day 270mg, then alternating back & forth continually. Yes, I’m self-dosing. I still feel terrible and I want it to stop. I want to lose weight.
I eat moderately every day. An egg for breakfast, lots of berries, lean protein for dinner. I am not exercising now, just medicating. I’ve lost 14 pounds since starting this in Mid-May. That is a lot more then I lost last summer with all the exercise and dieting I did. (See the previous post for details)
Today I added the adrenal & pregnenolone to the mix. Theory is I am suffering from adrenal fatigue. That is why the exercise doesn’t help. The more I exercised, the more my body thought I was in distress. So it stored fat like crazy. That’s the doctors theory anyway.
He told me at today’s visit that I will find much more success with the HCG if I take care of the cortisol problem at the same time. Said that is why I store belly fat. He did the cortisol testing in May, had to capture all my pee in a container for 24 hours then take it to a lab. First time I was ever tested like that. Showed very low cortisol levels. One of the indicators of adrenal fatigue. So, I am giving it another 30 days to see what progress I make.
Several people asked me about the HCG, why I tapered off after only 15 days. I lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks, 15 days. That was good. But the diet is very mentally demanding. I was constantly focused on food, loss, diet. I didn’t mind suffering, but it was disruptive to my work, and I screwed up every weekend. Taking the higher dose of HCG made a difference.
So, we’ll see how it goes. What have I got to lose anyway. I’m so big now, I hate going out in public and can’t stand to be around anyone. Wish me luck – wish me success – wish me strength…
