I have been at a stand still on the scale for longer than I can remember.  2 weeks ago I went to see a new doctor, because I had my surgery out of the country I chose to have my ND follow me which he was ok with.  But nothing he was doing for me was making any difference at all.  All sorts of blood work...no changes anywhere.  I just kept buying supplements from him.  So, on to find a new doc.  This Thursday marks 3 weeks ago I went to see me new doc.  No he isn't a band doc BUT his is a Naturopathic, Aryuvedic and an MD...this man is SMART!  And doesn't move too fast.  He thinks about things before he initiates them.  My liver is inflamed, my Thiamine is really low, Vit D low.  So he has started me on supps to fix those things along with a good MVI.  I have stopped drinking coffee as of last Friday, no sugar unless it is in fruits.  LOTS of fruits and vegs(my band has no problems with any vegs so far).  My main protein was pork of any kind and chicken.  Well he wants me to have more fish.....yuck but I will try.  And he wants me to cut back on the pork.

I have seen many NSV without the scale moving, I am able to run about 1/2 mile now...never have been a runner.  I am at the gym every day I work (I work FT and we have gym and PT at work) I have gone down 5 pants sizes!!!  AND no longer own any 2 or 3x scrubs, unless they're sized wierd.  When I lay on my bed my hip bones have come to the surface again....something I haven't seen for quite some time!   My friend at work one day (she's about 100lbs soaking wet) pats my butt and said WOW...it's come back!  I laughed and said what  do you mean.  She said well I was afraid it would sag or go away, but yours is just spinging back to life..(In HS I was known to have a "ghetto bootie") then that same night my husband did and said the same thing!)

I am getting used to the attention, even though I still have 1/2 way to go, but slow and steady wins the race, right and this is a lifestyle change so it can't be drastic or it won't stick....I have to keep telling myself those things.

I have a friend of mine from HS who called me a couple weeks ago to share with me that she is going to be starting this WL journey and is giving me the honors of being by her side while she does it!  It is such a personal journey I am so excited for her.  We attended Senior Ball together back in 1992 when we were very good friends.  I can't  wait to start this part of our lives together!
