Great job Shawna. What are your plans at this point. Are you thinkng of staying where you are at like your Dr. suggested? Or do you plan to keep heading toward your personal goal?

Good luck and congrats.

Shawna...

I bet that just made you skip around and dance a jig. What a great compliment and encouragement.

Shawna, that's great! It's good to have a doctor that you like and feel comfortable with. I'm lucky to have found a great doctor, too. It's always great to get positive feedback like that :-)

It's great to know that some doctors realize we all don't fit into those cookie cutter molds of needing to be a ideal body weight according to those height weight charts.

glad you had a good dr. appt. =) i hate to think of drs trying to pressure their patients to lose weight, it's hard enough trying to lose weight but to have a dr. or someone else harping..AGH the stress..My family dr. is a great one too,has never said anything about my weight, she doesn't do pregnancies i was so upset when i was prego but she recommended a dr. and he ended up being great too. I once had an appt. with a work dr for a physical and he made me appreciate my dr..lol
