Am I being too impatient?
Posted: Sun Aug 02, 2020 6:07 pm
Hello Mr. Novick! I apologize in advance for anything that may be a repeat question from the forum threads - I did research through and could not find anything that helped me, so I thought I would start a thread.
I am 42 and had my kiddos 14 months apart in my late 30s, both via C-section. I lift heavy weight in the gym 3x weekly and do additional light workouts most other days for at least 30 minutes. I adhere to the MWL guidelines completely, even gave up coffee, and I am fastidious with meal preparation. I drink about 80oz of water a day on average. I am 5'3" and my weights are in my signature. I have had thyroid, electrolyte, and CBC panels and all hormone panels come back perfect.
I have not been able to budge any weight for the last three weeks at all. My measurements are exactly the same. I fluctuate +/- one pound but I just can't seem to make the weight go. Am I just being too impatient? My GP here in New Zealand actually got me started on the whole McDougall journey and he said something that stuck with me - he told me I didn't trust my body. I suppose I don't, given this entire post. I'm really trying to trust it but I guess I need reassurance? Thank you for any input.
