Week 8 Weigh In

The scales at the weight loss clinic showed 5 1/2 lbs lost this week! Yeay! Finally the numbers I was seeing on my bathroom scale were reflected in my evening weigh in. My total weight loss is 36lbs and I have 3 weeks to go before Phase 1 is completed.

I signed up for Phase 2, which is more of the same, and my new clinic times will be 90 mins earlier which means I will actually get home at a decent hour for a change!

I've made several good friends there and I'm happy that most of them will be moving on to Phase 2 in the same class.

It's actually been a busy week medically. I visited my PCP on Monday and he was ecstatic with my lab results. Everything that was putting me at risk and reducing my longevity has been reversed! Everything!!

He would like to see my goal weight around 150 which officially removes me from the "overweight" category. Once I hit my goal weight, if I ever hit 155, he wants me to take action and not allow the weight to come back. 

With so many people supporting me at home, at work, in the clinic, my doctors - I feel blessed and infinitely thankful.
