never been so happy to go to the doctor!

Last time I saw my doctor was July 30th. I went in for a check-up after having a bad asthma attack. Of course I had to step on the dreaded scale, and almost fell over when I saw the number 210....I had no idea I was even close to 200!!! THAT was the day I decided enough was enough... I was shocked, and scared and after getting the support I needed and coming up with a plan, I made my lifestyle change.
I went back to the doctor today (having some digestion issues) and the nurse told me I was 200!!! I just started working out and watching what I eat on August 26th! That's 10 pounds in 19 days! I would have never thought in a million years that I could say I lost ten pounds! I have never been able to lose more than 4 or 5 at a time.
Of course I have a LOOOOONG way to go, but I'm so happy I have already hit 10!!

    Fantastic!!! Keep that momentum going. My physician now refers his patients to me when they say they want to lose, but do not want surgery. You can do it.
