And the results are in!!
 

I just saw my doctor for the first time in well over a year.
At my heaviest of 247, my blood pressure was steadily increasing and I was worried meds would be in my future.
Yesterday my bp was 112/70 :carrot: :carrot:
And my pulse was at 60! :carrot: :carrot:

AND, her scale said I was at 213!!!! When I told her that I loved her scale she said most patients B*&$% that it weighs them HIGHER!! than their home scales!! :carrot:

I posted a little while ago that the gym was out for me due to a back injury so i've really been paying much more attention to what I'm eating and it's clearly working. My exercise consists of 3 days of physical therapy for 1 hour a week of just strength training, 10 mins of the bike, and stretching. And I make sure to do my stretching on my off days. I'm just shocked that I've managed to LOSE ANYTHING! I would have been happy maintaining!

Just wanted to give a big hug to everybody on this site. You guys are the best support system anyone could ever ask for! :hug::hug:

That's wonderful!! Congrats on the weight loss! I'm sure your doc was happy to see a smile instead of an angry face after you were weighed. Haha.

Good job! :hug:

Don't you just love it when the Dr's scale is soo friendly.
Congrats on sticking to a plan that works.
Keep it up. You are doing great.

Congratulations ! You are doing great !

Fantastic! It's great to have other results like lower blood pressure etc. to remind you of the other benefits to weight loss. Well done!! :D

Great job! It's wonderful to see the other benefits beyond the number on the scale. Keep up the good work!:woohoo:

:woohoo:

Congratulations!!! Definitely a great reason to get healthy and not just vanity :D

Thanks so much everyone! As much as I love the way I'm starting to look (as is the hubby :D), it was a great confirmation that the healthy things I'm doing are affecting my body in ways that I even can't see. I'll be going for bloodwork in a about a week so I'm guessing my cholesterol, etc. will be down as well.

Thanks again for the support, everybody! You guys rock! :yes:
