I had to go to see my doctor today. Forgive my graphic-ness, but I started the Depo shot in September and haven't gotten my TOM since then, and I got it Sunday and then yesterday at work, I had a headache, I was dizzy, nauseous and felt like I was going to pass out. I had to leave early and the doctor ordered I be seen today.

Turns out, everything's okay, my body's just adjusting to actually exercising 60min every day now. But the parts that made me really happy were these:

1. When the nurse (who didn't believe I lost 11lbs already) weighed me and she had to push the little weight on the scale back more and more.

2. When I was discussing with my doctor my changes that I've made, she told me how awesome I was and how proud she was of me.

Needless to say, I was glowing when I left. This only motivates me even more to lose more. That and my shirts are getting looser already.

Sorry if this is just a tiny milestone, but I just had to share. :love:

    10 lbs is a HUGE accomplishment. And I am not just gving you a phony "attaboy". Losing weight is difficult--the fact that you lost 10 lb (assuming you didn't do it over a weekend or via a "cleanse") means that you can lose 20....and so on. It means your are on a routine that is working.

    There are health and fitness benefits as well.

    I truly believe that the FIRST 10 lbs you lose is MUCH more important than the last 10.

    Congrats again and keep on going.

    Very awesome! 10 lbs isn't a small accomplishment at all. If you ran a 500 calorie deficit everyday for a week, it would take 10 weeks to do what you did!?! Keep up the good work.

    Thank you all so much. I just didn't want to over-brag when other people have lost more. Thanks for the support. It helps so much.

    Azdak, I agree. I think it's just the push you need to keep going.

    Thanks everyone again! :blushing:

    Oh LOVE it when stuff like that happens!! :love: Isn't it great to actually look FORWARD to getting on the scale instead of taking off everything including your watch and making SURE you go to the bathroom BEFORE the dreaded weigh-in?!

    LOVE IT!!! You're awesome!!!!

    Biffy, I am peri-menopausal, too. I had that awful heart-beating-so-hard-it-feels-like-a-heart-attack symptom, too - for about 6 months when I was taking care of my mom while she was sick and working so hard I wasn't exercising. It is awful, and scary. What seems to have helped me is starting to exercise again and to take vitamin d - 2000 IU daily. + evening of primrose oil. what has your doc said?
