I decided to do weigh-ins every 5 days because that was an easy increment for a nifty graph! The straight black line is the theoretical line of where I should be in order to meet my goal, the jagged lighter line is where I am. I'm a little frustrated. I have done absolutely NO cheating, but the progress is so slow.
It's a conundrum...should I adjust my goals? The fertility doctor used the phrase "You've been dealt a different metabolic hand" (than non-PCOS women), meaning that weight loss is expected to be difficult/slow. On the other hand, if I just keep adjusting my expectations of myself, where might it stop? How high should my expectations be?
I'm not doing anything unhealthy, I'm eating enough, and sticking with my dietitian's breakdown of carbs, veggies, proteins, fats, fruit, and dairy. I'm exercising regularly, but not to excess (more on that in the next post).
For now, no decisions. I'm happy that the line is going down. I wish it would go faster. But I did draw a pretty steep line. We'll see.
