Lilly's moment of truth was today. She has been kept away from cat food, and severely limited in her regular food for two months. We went for microchipping, annual shots, etc this morning. Guess what....she gained 0.6 pounds. Next step is to switch her to senior food. She can have NO treats except for carrots and green beans. He wants me to drop by often, and have her weighed. I guess the main thing is that she not put on anymore weight, and that we start seeing some improvement in weight loss. And if she still doesn't lose, he will check the thyroid levels again. He was really, really concerned today, but knows I have been trying very hard to get the weight off with exercise and disciplined feedings. She is currently 96.6 pounds.

Please cross your fingers that this changing of food type will help her. I will obviously switch her gradually, but plan to start today after a visit to Petsmart.

Poor Lilly!
