VickyEltonGreen

@speyerji what I always appreciate about your post is how insightful and aware you are around both your inner and outer body. You are a remarkable woman and I have gleaned so much from you in the last six months. You have helped me tremendously to normalize this whole process . So a heartfelt thank you.

@uyisterl have a happy birthday! Your biggest gift has been the one you have given yourself and I admire all the hard work you have done.

@girlinkaz you have really been working hard and it has paid off, you must be so proud

@kelMee2 you are so consistent in your goals, I appreciate all the positive encouragement you give me . Logging in each day as seeing your posts encourages me. Thank you for being transparent too.

@jazzdesigns you have really done so well keep it up.

@sarahelton87 you know how many regrets I have about ever having passed on my weight issues to you. I am continuing to be in awe of the woman you have become so wise and beautiful and strong. I thank God everyday for you and love you so much. You've got this and thank you for doing this with me too.


To all the other people I haven't covered here I read your posts and thank you again for being real and being marvelous with me this May

This is hard work, both inside and out but so worth it!

Starting weight: 270 March 2021

May Start Weight: 248.6
May Goal Weight: 239/240
Ultimate Goal Weight: TBD

I weigh in on Sundays.

May 2: 248.6
May 9: 246.2
May 16: 242.8
May 23: 241.6
May 30: 241.0

I had a follow up with my doctor on Friday. I weighed in the morning before I went and I was 239. I was excited because I met my May goal. Last night we had family movie night, I snacked on some popcorn. Well, today was my weigh in day and it only reflected a .6 loss. Oh well. At first I was bummed but after thinking about it I know weight fluctuates. These things sometimes just happen. I have come a long way since I started this journey a few months ago. I am really proud of all the progress I have made so far. My NSVs by far tell more than a number on a scale does.

My greatest NSV was my follow up appointment with my doctor. She reviewed my lab work with me. My numbers are looking really great. She was very pleased with my A1C. She told me that it is right where she tells her patients to aim for then corrected herself and said mine is actually a little below that. My B12 is low which is a combination of my meds for diabetes and a vegetarian diet. I have started supplementing with a B complex vitamin to get that back up to where it needs to be. At this point in time she is going to hold off putting me on any additional medications such as cholesterol. She believes with the life style changes that I have made my numbers will continue to improve and I will not need medication, including the one she has me on now. I walked out of that appointment feeling like I was on cloud 9!

I am looking forward to a great month of June with all you wonderful ladies!

Well. I have been MIA for a few weeks. I had my son's graduation and had a lot of planning and cooking. I am ready to get back to posting feedback and keeping track of my calories. There were days in the last 2 weeks where I was a little more aware of what I was eating, and others I did not or just didn't care. I have to get back to reality!!
