Default Watch that ticker!
Today was my dr.appt. and I had hoped to lose 5-6 lbs., because my metabolism is sloooow.
But I am glad to say, I have lost 12lbs.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


A total of 23.5lbs so far. I was so happy! My blood pressure is down to a normal level and even my resting pulse rate is lower. It might seem like a small amount, given where I hope to get, but it is a HUGE deal to me. Just 4 more pounds and I will weigh less than I have in about 8 years!

Hope everybody has a great day and stays op!!


Now I'm going to change my ticker!

Thanks to all and sorry about the size of the text in that last post, but I was a little excited.

Deafinly- It's been a month since my last appt. and roughly 2 months total since I started trying to lose.

Newsnerd, you deserve to use ENORMOUS font! WELL DONE!!!! I think I would have cried when I saw double what I had expected.

I hope your doctor told you how proud he/she is of you. My old doctor just used to mutter "oh, that's good" even when I had lost about 150lbs. It didn't really impress me. I now have a new doctor and she is forever amazed at the changes I have made to my life.

Anyway... in case your doctor didn't tell you... I AM SOOOOOO PROUD OF YOU! Keep up the great work.
