So Tuesday marked 1 month since I was officially diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and put on blood pressure meds. My Dr. wanted to see me for a follow up. While I didn't remember what my previous dr. office weight was from July, I knew I'd been doing my "MFP" best....so I was a bit excited to see her reaction.

Can I say it was the best DR appt EVER. I've been overweight/obese my whole life. Dr appts usually bring the finger wag and "you should lose some weight" But not today. I had lost 13 pounds since my last appt!!! Also, my blood pressure was PERFECT!!! I told her I wanted to show her I was taking the diagnoses seriously and was going to do my darnedest to reverse things. She was so pleased...she said I got an A+ and even gave me a s/f sucker. ;)

I really don't want to be popping meds the rest of my life. Each day is one day closer to being rid of those pills.

    Thanks everyone! To me, this is what losing weight is all about. Sure looking good/better in important....but being a healthier person, well that's a big WIN in my book.
