For losing 65lbs in 5 months and going from high blood pressure to normal. Interviewed me for like 20 minutes he can tell all his other patients some of my tips, and yes, I pimped out MFP as my weight loss bible...Riding high on success today.

    Hey, good job! That's a great loss and the BP is wonderful. It's great that your doctor wanted to talk about it.

    Going to the Dr tomorrow to see about getting off blood pressure medicine. I've lost 105 pounds and have 45 more to go.

    Now I'll be dissapointed if she doesn't call me a badass!

    Great job!

    That's great! I love shocking the docs. They talk to a lot of people about weight loss but I don't think that many follow through.

    Wait...thought you were on a diet supervised by your doctor. Now he knows nothing about it? I'm confused.

    That awesome!

    I didn't lose nearly as much and all I got was that I look 'brighter' ;)

    That's awesome! I'm actually looking forward to my yearly because of the weight loss. He didn't rag on me for gaining, but probably just because everything else was healthy. I like my doctor, he's a cool guy.

    Kuddos to you! I've been there, it's an amazing feeling. :)
    Now keep it up because you don't want to be like me and go back and have a negative appointment.

    Same confusion here. Maybe people didn't catch it because of the name change. I thought you were on a VLCD given to you by your doctor?

    Congratulations. Wish I'd get a badass diagnosis. May have to ask for that. ;)

    Good job with the blood.
    I read that title differently at first, thought what a rude doctor.

    I'm confused too. I remember the diet being prescribed by his doctor but now his doctor is asking how he did it?

    Either way, I wouldn't take what he says with much credit if he isn't the one who prescribed it and thinks a VLCD is a good idea.

    +1 to this query - OP haven't you been telling everyone that it's ok for you to eat 800 a day because it was doctor prescribed and supervised?
