3 (and a half) month check up

So I visited with Dr. Hata this morning for my 3 1/2 month check up.  I have lost 70lbs thus far.  I have reduced my blood pressure meds by 1/2 and hopefully will be off that completely very soon.

Dr. Hata is very pleased with my progress; I am about 42% and he likes to see 50-60% at 6 months so I am a little ahead of the game.

I am being scheduled for an Upper GI because I am having problems with food going down.  Not getting stuck but just a fullness after 2 bites of food!  Just as precaution he decided to do the UGI. 

Other than that, I need to exercise more!  I am going to start incorporating a daily walk with my Wii Fit exercises. 

I have dropped from a 26 to an 18 (probably a 16 very very soon).  I have not seen 16's in 15+ years so I am very excited. 

I am going to the beach the first week in May and am actually looking forward to it.  I will not be nearly as self-conscious this year.

Hope everyone else is doing great.  For the newbie's keep up your journey.  For the regulars here keep posting because you are a lot of inspiration to me!  This is by far the best thing I have done for myself!

Have a great day!

Pam - such a great check up.  You are doing so well.  Congratulations !

I think it is time to make some pics and change your avatar.  Miss seeing you.  We will try to get together in April, ok?

I missed you guys too in March; I was scheduled to be out of town but cancelled at the last minute because of the impending weather! 

I look forward to seeing everyone in April.  I am going to Support Group on Thursday the 16th because the topic is Wii Fit! 

Thanks for the kind words!  I feel like I could do better but am very pleased with where I am.  I think another 61 and I will be comfortable.

See you soon! (I hope!)
