Doc said I might be pre-men but not sure. They're going to include the blood tests for it when I have my quarterly blood labs work-ups in Dec. Haven't checked with doc about frustration with weight loss, as when I went to see her in July I was still losing fairly regular and figured the plateau would break and the 2 pound a week or more loss would resume.
Alright, well, this doesn't actually seem too bad to me (I know, probably not what you want to hear). But if you have your diet in order, and the exercise has been regular, then there may be something else going on, and hopefully your doc can help with that. However, if there have been issues with the diet and exercise (and we ALL have them) then those are things to be worked on. I know I do a very similar thing with bouncing back and forth between a certain weight range, have a sudden drop and then plateau again. But I almost always can tie it to my affinity for ice cream, or chocolate, or pizza, or ....
Eventually, I just have to get tough with myself and develop discipline. Not saying that is your issue, but maybe it is a small part of the picture.
