    First thing needed to say is "congrats" on an amazing transformation! I am sure your Doctor was equally impressed with you accomplishments as every one here is at MFP!

    The doctor visit of yours kind of mirrors my experience. My current doctor knew me at my highest weight (5'11", 250 pounds) and was gently reminding me to lose the weight during every office visit.

    Eventually I got sick of the extra weight, the health issues and started dropping 65 points (29 on MFP, 36 pre-MFP) and my doctor is amazed at my weight transformation even though I am still technically 10 pounds over a healthy BMI (my doctor thinks that if I do want to lose the last 10 pounds, it would be for vanity purposes only). I am off high pressure and cholesterol pills, overall health markers have improved, etc which was/is a nice product of losing weight.

    In closing, my hat is off to you for a job excellently done!!!!

    And the best of luck to the start of your maintenance phase of your life!!!!
