My doctor knows I'm serious about weight loss now!

I saw my incredibly tall, skinny doctor yesterday for my once every 4 month checkup and he noted that one year ago I weighed 260 and now weigh 205. Heh, heh. As I say 50 down, 50 to go I guess I should change that to 55 down, 45 to go. Heh, heh. I now weigh what I weighed when I graduated high school. The only pants I can still wear have drawstrings. I have no idea what size I should be wearing but 3x/24 that I've been wearing for years is definitely too big!!

I decided recently, in my mid-70s, if I'm going to live into my mid-90s like most of the women in my family, I can't do it with carrying around 100 pounds of excess weight. A combo of weekly injections to keep the diabetes in check and keeping track of calories consumed with the MFP food diary is working!

Hooray: I am so, so happy for you!

I remember your engaging posts from a while back, then didn't see you here for a bit - gather life got demanding for you - but it's really wonderful to see you've achieved this amazing progress.

My own experience losing suggested to me that doctors only rarely see this kind of loss among their patients. I'll bet he was impressed, whether he let that show or not.

Keep up the great work . . . even better quality of life improvements ahead for you, I predict.

Good show!
