So I had my annual checkup (which I've avoided for 3 years, so I guess it's not annual
).
First of all, I
'm taller. I don't know if losing the weight improved my posture, but I always thought I was a little over 5'6" and I'm now a hair over 5'7".
Secondly, I talked to my doctor about the fact that I keep losing weight on maintenance and after reviewing what I eat his advice was that it appears I have a very fast metabolism (thank you IP) so I should gradually add more snacks in. He said he would like to see me about 8-15 pounds heavier, but that a portion of that could be achieved through building more muscle.
He did order a full blood panel, including full hormone level testing (I'm glad for that, I would like a baseline of my hormone levels before menopause hits so I can track any changes). I'm thankful to IP - the doctor said I'm in great health for my age, and a lot of that is because of the focus on health (not just the diet, also the water/supplements) that this plan has given me.
Thanks to all of you!
