went to bariatric clinic this morning. I have now lost 51 lbs in just 4 weeks and weigh in at 496. This is the first time in over 6 years since I have been under 500. I told them I wanted to delay the surgery for now and try to lose on my own and they said that was fine. Today was my second visit with them and today was supposed to be where they look over my food logs and tell me what I am doing right and wrong and give suggestions. She said I was doing an excellent job and keep up with what I am doing. I go back in 5 weeks. I am so happy. I am making a goal of loosing 100 lbs total by Feb. 1. So come on guys, if I can do it-you can do it too.
You are doing an excellent job!0 -

awesome! i am so proud of you0 -
Great Job. I went to my doctor yesterday for the first time in years. My blood work came back bad so she needed to see me. Mind you, I am 5'9, 254lbs. Her first reaction was "you can do this on your own, diet and exercise". Then she went straight to recommend the weight loss clinic. I was immediately pissed and thought to myself, no thanks, I AM going to do this on my own and when I come back in 6 months YOU will be surprised!

Don't give up on the weight loss clinic idea. They don't just do surgeries. Even tho I have postponed my surgery, I still am going for the medical management side of it. They have some great resources available such as dieticians, exercise counselors, and not to mention that you just need to be medically monitored especially if you are loosing a good amount of weight fast. If you are seriously turned off by the weight loss clinic, or can't afford them (they are expensive). I would suggest that you at least see your regular doctor at least once a month. Let him/her know that you are starting a diet and want to do it on your own, and that you want him/her to monitor you. Good Luck, you can do it.

Your progress is inspiring! I can't wait to see your ultimate success.
You remind me a lot of my dad, actually (although he is older than you). When I go home for thanksgiving, I want to show him your posts and hopefully the inspiration you have given to us, can rub off a little on him.
I know it's incredibally difficult and he's been on the weight loss cycle before (at least 2x in my life), but I guess I want him to know that I've not given up hope for him.
ANYWAYS. Best of luck to you rcookenc, keep up the excellent work!0
