To the MD this am to discuss difficulty losing weight. I had lost only 6 lbs. since last seen in office on July 1st. Discussed going off bcp last week (that's where the six pounds came in), my training schedule and calorie intake. Even though I don't have any other symptoms, she drew blood to check thyroid levels. She believes it very well could be the bcp. She wants me to try a dietary amphetamine for 4 weeks to see if it helps.

Even with all this, I feel fantastic!! I feel lighter on the inside; I know I have become stronger in muscle and heart. I will "Keep on, Keep on" as me and my Mom say. Even if I never lose another ounce, I feel much healthier!!

To the gym this afternoon: biked hills = 180 cal

Weights=chest
