Heading to my doctor tomorrow for my quarterly check up

Hello folks ....
Tomorrow is my quarterly checkup with my doctor and each visit she reminds me of how I need to lose weight to improve my ankle mobility and help with my blood pressure which I needed to take pills to keep it under control.Snoring was also a problem as well and I was tested for sleep apnea cause I wasn't having a good sleep.Last time I saw her was the end of April and she reminded me once again about weight loss. That visit in April, I weighed in at 255lbs.
Since that last visit, I was motivated to buy a vivo fit and began walking nightly along with using MFP to log my meals. I no longer walk anymore, but have taken up cycling instead as its a lot easier on my ankle as little to no impact.
So, after almost 4 months of logging and cycling, I have dropped 44 lbs from my original weight.
I no longer snore and feel well rested in the mornings. I've lost 6 inches off my waist and feel great.
I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's visit with her and I know she will give my a positive review on my success. I have 10 lbs to go to reach my goal weight of 200lbs.
Wish me luck,
Otto..

Well, the doc was very impressed. She said it was very visible and was happy at my achievement. Naturally, she asked me how I did it and I told her CICO and some cycling for maintenance.
Also, I told her I couldn't of done it without MFP, logging daily and the immense support from fellow MFP friends. I told her to pass the word on any other patients who are in need of a lifestyle change.
She was impressed and I left the office very proud of myself ....28 -

Great job! I was in your boat in March and my follow up appointment in June I was down 25 pounds and my blood work was normal. It was like getting a great report card in high school. It's also motivating!1
