Back Again

Sherbog

Hi from Oregon,

In the past I worked "MFP" and it worked wonderful. Lost over 50 lbs and totally loved MFP.

Well here I am back with the need to loose those same 50 pounds again. Yesterday I went in for a wellness check with my physician. She walked in, introduced herself and said to me "do you realize how much weight you have gained from your last visit?" I said "oh yeah." She then asked if I would be willing to work with her and get back to eating nutritionally.

YES! She said she knew that I could do it and knew what to do as I had already accomplished it before. When I mentioned MFP she got excited and said YES! She has me signed up for free nutrition classes, scheduled me for six months of weight check in appointments, and was happy with the amount of exercise I accomplish every day. (six miles of walking) She said she believes I can be back on track in 6 months. I go to Hawaii in 6 months for GRAND daughters graduation so that is a nice goal.

This is the first time in 68 years that a doctor has addressed my weight. I measure 5' 6 1/2 " and weighed in at 192.

This is day two and I feel really good about getting back to MPF! I look forward to reading all the success and struggle posts.
