4 Month Follow-Up

Oct 31, 2009

I went in to see Dr. Rosen yesterday for my 4 month check-up.  I was there for-freakin EVER.  I was actually nervous.  I was so close to one of my "mini" goals; to be under 300 pounds.  I only had to lose 14.6 pounds.  So taking a deep breath I stepped on the scale.  It stopped and tears came to my eyes.  I weighed 297.1 pounds.  I lost 18 pounds.  I was officially under 300 pounds FOREVER!!!  I was so excited.  I shared some facebook pictures with the staff showing how I had changed since the beginning of my journey.  They are very happy for me and continuously say that am exceeding expectations, and that I will do incredibly wonderful.  They said that there should be no reason I should not lose 90% of my excess body weight.  SWEET!!!  I also met with Joey who again praised me and said that I need to keep chugging along with my exercises just like I have been.  Dana gave me some recipes tips and intoduced me to what everyone was talking about for the upcoming support group meeting, PUMPKIN RICOTTA MOUSSE.  Yummy!!!  Then I was waiting for Dr. Rosen.  He was not there.  Recently a new doctor joined Life Weigh, and I was to see him.  I met him briefly at the reunion in July.  Hhis name is Dr. Mikhail.  He was really nice and very cool.  I liked him very much.  I was not too upset that I didn't get to see Dr. Rosen because this cool doctor has seen me instead.  We were all cool.  I thought that my next appointment would be in 3 months, but Dr. Mikhail wants to see me in another month...because he likes me.  Yeah right, probably just wants my co-pay.  Just Kidding!!!  So on to my next month of work.  My next goal is to have lost 200 pounds by Christmas which would be my 6 month follow-up.  I think I can do it.  Here are my 4 month pics for you to enjoy as well. 

As always, good luck and best wishes to all on or starting their JOURNEY!!!
