On a bit of a downer at the moment. Saw my dr today for my monthly review of my weight and thyroid check.
After christmas i was put on a slimming tablet for helping me to lose weight. The new dr at the army medical center has decided it hasn't worked and took me off them. Saying that although ive lost 9 kg it is not enough. Im down to 84kg and was feeling happy till i saw him. :(
He has refered me to a dietician for further advice. He knows i had kept to a healthy low fat diet and exercise when ever i can but he thinks im doing something wrong. He also mentioned he thinks i may have metabolic syndrome. A new one on me. Any how i googled it and it looks like im more likely to get heart problems and diabeties among other things. Some things said it was like a ticking time bomb. Now im mega worried that this may prevent me emigrating to oz.
Has any one heard of this condition as all the advice i could find just said lose weight and exercise, which is what im desperatly trying to do.
