NSV - 16 week Visit to the Doctor

Hello...16 weeks ago I went to the doc for my normal yearly visit (with lab work). I knew I wasn't taking good care of myself, but was really shocked when he showed me my lab results. HIGH BLOOD GLUCOSE(125):noway: & HIGH CHOLESTEROL (231) :sick: & HIGH LIVER ENZYMES (105) :embarassed: ....he said he would give me 4 months to get my act together, and get the numbers where they belong. . :embarassed: :frown:

Said it would take at least a 20 lb loss to see the movement on the labs that he wanted. :huh:

WELL....yesterday was the magic day - 16 weeks / 22 pounds lost and.....

Cholesterol 161
Blood Glucose 85
Liver Enzymes 59

These numbers are all in perfect range, and the lowest any have been for the past 4 years. The doctor couldn't believe it and said he has never seen this much improvement without putting someone on medication. :happy:

My husband, family, MFP and my friends on thie site have kept me going. Encouragement & accountability have gotten me through the rough spots. Still feeling momentum, and just getting started toward getting my old self back. Scheduled to repeat the labs in October / November...can't wait to see how much more progress I can make by then.

Sweet victory on this wonderful journey. :smile:

    Those are amazing numbers!!


    I found out through blood donation that my cholesterol was pretty high. (231) :blushing: This prompted me to start on my road to healthier. 8 weeks later, it was below 200 (185). 8 weeks after that, it was lower (166). I'm so glad to be back to the healthier range (although I don't know my HDL/LDL numbers).

    It's amazing the changes we can make on our INSIDES when we are good to ourselves. :wink:

    This kind of NSV is better than any kind of "hey, I look good in this bikini!" NSV (not that that's not an accomplishment). So happy for you.
