Dr's appointment
14

Well, I had a doctor's appointment this morning. My doctor hasn't seen me since before I started losing weight. When I told him that I lost 20 lbs, he was so happy to hear that. My BP went down a little, but he still wants to keep me on the medication for a while and he'll keep monitoring it. It was so great to finally be able to go in there and instead of just telling him that I intended to lose weight, I actually lost weight. What a good feeling!

And more good news...I'm finally down a size! I bought some clothes in the next size down, thinking that they would be tight but that I'd have them ready for when I could fit into them, but they fit now! They're not tight at all! I didn't even realize how loose my clothes were getting until I put on clothes that actually fit and they were so much more comfortable. Yay me! I think people are starting to notice, too. When I said hi to this woman that I work with today, she looked at me as if she noticed, but she didn't say anything. It looked like she wanted to, but maybe she didn't want to embarrass me. This is so cool, I can't wait to lose the next 20 lbs!

Just had to share :-)

Felicitaciones, Mi Amiga!

That's very cool. I go back to the dr. on 5/13 and hope to report a loss as well.

Yay! That's cause for celebration, for sure!! Congrats on the progress and the new size, and keep up the great work!

Off topic question - how do you get the little cat face beside your user name? Karrie and a couple others have the crosses, and you have the cat - and I'd like to add a little personality to mine as well.

Go up to the top of the screen where it says "board settings". Click on it and scroll down to where it says "personal icon" and I think it says "set icon".

Thanks everyone for your support. And thank you, angelinoh for those nice words! It's good to have a place like this where you can share your successes, or just to vent sometimes.
