Hmm, you may be right. 2 things he said that may indicate his line of thinking... 1) as long as I lose/continue to lose weight, he wouldn't worry about the numbers. So maybe he just wants to make sure I'm on the right track? And 2) My thyroid was "slightly under-active" and he wants to see if that was just an aberration or what. So maybe the month is enough time to see what's going on with that?
