Doctor office NSV

I had a doctor appt yesterday for the first time since May. I began my weight loss journey in June. When the nurse input my weight a big error message popped up on the screen warning to double check the weight entered as this is a 16%+ difference from the last weight entered. The nurse goes, "you said ONE-76, right?" and I said, "Yeah, I've lost almost 50 lbs." which garnered a "OMG, good for you!" and a high five. Awesome! I love that I made the computer question it. :-)

    I love when this happens! Yay!


    May I share my situation?

    My next endocrine appointment is in February. The last two occasions I was 161 lb and 151 lb. My doc was ecstatic that I'd lost 10 lbs. I only started seeing him/his office at the very end of my pregnancy, and I got the impression that he didn't believe me that I used to be slim. I was wondering if I was a "heart-sink" patient. I'm hoping to be at or below 129 at my next appointment. I want to look really great just to prove him wrong LOL. (Of course I'm doing this for me - but it's nice to be able to prove to yr doc that you can do this.)

    My ultimate aim is 112-117 (I'm 5'1") .....it'd would be HILARIOUS if I could be at this weight when I next attend, but I don't think I have that much energy, will power or time to dedicate towards exercising.

    The fact that they thought it was an error on the Nurse's part is what makes this so freakin' awesome!!!
