Topic: 3 month checkup
I had my 3 month checkup today and hit the 80lb loss mark. My Dr said it's not as much the weight as it is the percentage of body fat you lose. I've now lost 28% of my excess body fat the normal range is anywhere between 22%-32%.
So for those of you thinking you haven't lost much weight, how much excess body fat have you lost? since we all start off at different weights that the only true comparison.
Also on a bad note, my blood work wasn't the greatest. The bad things have gotten much better, like bad cholesterol and such. I'm extremely low on calcium, and low on potassium and protein and I'm dehydrated.
So she wants me eating a whole banana or an orange every day, and I'm not to forget my vitamins (oops). Up the protein but again she said no more protein drinks. I told her it was impossible to get 60 grams of protein a day without drinking a shake and she said the amount of grams isn't important just eat more protein. Oh, and she wants me aiming for 100oz of fluid a day!
She also told me to aim for another 80lbs before my 6 month visit in January.

ShelleyAnne,
Thank you so much for your response. You are right, and I know that I need to focus on what's important! I never owned a scale until recently, and purchased one because people were asking how much weight I have lost. I didn't know, and they all thought I was crazy. I DO try to not weigh too much...only once or twice a week.
Thanks again for taking the time to encourage me!
Blessings,
Tamie
