Great visit with my PCP

I met with my PCP yesterday to go over my latest labs. We were both delighted with the results. It looks like I'll probably always have to be on cholesterol lowering meds because of a genetic predisposition to high cholesterol, but even those numbers are signicantly improved. Everything else is FANTASTIC.

For the last month or six weeks I've really been struggling with whether I'm really done losing or not. While I'm now technically of a 'normal' weight, it's just barely so. I'm a little concerned about getting much thinner though. It's getting a little uncomfortable to sit in a hard chair and I don't know that I'm too keen on seeing much more excess skin. That said, I'm just barely in the 'normal' weight range and after talking with my Dr I've decided to get back in the saddle and see about losing another 5 - 8 lbs. After all these years, I've found that I truly am 'big boned' ... it wasn't just an excuse after all ... LOL ... so, I've readjusted my 'goal weight' to 145.

This is wonderful Barb, If loosing more makes you comfortable then go for it. I one of your biggest fans on OH I love you Barb.                                     Annie

How wonderful , I 'm sure it wont be hard to loose that little bit more...I am looking forward to having one of those PCP visits.. ...congrads..~Mary~

Hi Mary -

Thanks so much for the support. I know that you have got to be beyond frustrated right now, but you will be here much sooner than you think.

Re: the ease of losing those last few pounds ... actually, it's pretty challenging. It's much harder to lose that last bit and takes a lot more work. I guess what my skinny sister has been telling me all these years is true. That said, I'm sure I can do it now that I have so many wonderful tools and support systems in place.

I'm looking forward to your post indicating you've had a stellar visit with your PCP.

Thanks again,

Barb
