After talking to the doctor today, I found out the weight I THOUGHT was my highest...turns out was NOT! December 20 2011 appointment I weighed 239. January 10 2011 appointment I was a whopping 246.9!!! :noway: I didn't know because during that last weigh-in I turned my back to the scale. Surely I'm not alone!

I did the same thing today, my back to the scale. I sat in the room anxiously awaiting the doctor for 5 very long minutes. She comes in all smiles and says, "Did you look at the scale today?" She knows I'm not one to look. Naturally, I smiled and said, "Ah no, should I be worried?"

She kept smiling and told me I was down 14.3 lbs!!! She kept saying how proud she was, and I couldn't stop smiling!

My current weight 232.6!! I'm not excited about that number, more that my hard work is definitely paying off! I still have a very long way to go to get to my healthy range, but with a loss of 14.3 lbs in 12 weeks I must be doing something right!!!

Thanks for all of the motivation and support! :happy:

    That's awesome! I have an appt in a month and I am hoping my doctor notices or mentions the loss, since I told him at my last appt that I was trying to lose. Congrats on your weight loss, that is really awesome! Keep it up!

    Great work!! What kind of program are you doing?

    Nothing in particular to be honest. I switch it up daily. Yoga, strength training, circuit training, core workouts, tennis, basketball, treadmill. A little bit of everything but weight training in which I've been wanting to add. It seems to be working right along side a strict diet, so I'm going to bump it up a little in hopes to seeing a bigger loss in 3 months! :smile:
