Hello! I've only lost 110 LBS. and ONLY need to lose 20 Lbs. to be at 155 Lbs. for my 5 foot, 5.5-inch height, at age 62.5. I'm so frustrated now because I've been on a plateau for over 10 weeks, I see my Dr. for a physical, in 3 weeks, and my weight's the same exactly or even a bit higher, by 2 Lbs. or so. I NEED to be REAL GOOD for the next 3 weeks, so I put some calendar email reminders on, to notify me throughout the day, of things I need to do and remember, to keep on track. I'll try that method, as well as count every morsel of food that enters my mouth, and will try to move more, exercise more, etc....
Also, the nurse said patients can only bring up 3 things during their appt.'s or they'll be charged extra for extra "stuff".
I believe #1 priority is to talk about the thyroid level, my plateau, my 110 Lbs. weight loss to date, and needing to lose 20 Lbs. more, and my frustration. I just can't think of anything more pressing than that to talk about. It has to do with movement, exercise, losing weight, getting to goal, and I think he need to know how frustrated I am, too. 
His wife's a dietician/nutritionist and my Dr. is my age, he's slim, and he must have some good suggestions. Only 3 weeks to go and I get to talk to him. I usually print out 1 computer page of information for him, and if I can formulate my words on paper, all he needs to do is read it, at my appt., and we'll take it from there.
With Autumn and Winter looming with holidays, I don't want to fall into the trap of winter weight gain. I can't afford to gain, because of arthritis, fibromyalgia and the joints. I NEED to lose,to have less pain and that's just the way it is. So, tomorrow's Labor Day, I face a root canal or crown, and I face a new week, too. It'll be the beginning of week #21 for me, as far as my calorie counting booklets go, too. I just need to hang in there.
