Had to share !

To start things off, let me give you a little background info. I am in the 4th month of a 6 month “Physician Directed Weight Management Program” for insurance approval.  Why couldn’t they just call it a “diet”?  Anyway, I went to the Dr. yesterday and he gave me great news.  This is the 3^rd month that my blood pressure has been normal.  Yesterday it was 120/78, I am not complaining!!!!!  He is even talking about discontinuing my blood pressure medicine, WOW! The other news was…I am at 315lbs.  That is down from a high of 355lbs. 4 months ago.  He went further to show me a graph of my weight from the first day at his office.  When I looked at it, I noticed that 11 years ago when I set foot in the door, I weighed 314lbs.  I am actually 1 pound from being the lowest weight I have been in 11 years.  Guess what…..I’m not stopping!  Watch out world a new loser is on the way!

Have a great day everyone…I know I am!!!!

Way to Go Scott!! That is so AWESOME!!!  You are already a loser!! He he imagine how well you will do after surgery! I am very proud of you!!!!!

HEY GIRLIE!!! I was going to call you the other day and I have lost your phone number!!! HOW ARE YOU??? okay I will start yelling now.. I am so excited to see your comment..... Hollar at me.. will ya!!! hugs to you!!!

Scott, Congratulations and continued success in your endeavor.  I am in the last month of my physician supervised program and while I have had success, it isn't nearly as much as you have experienced.  The important thing is that the blood pressure has dropped and you are feeling better.  I am more of a lurker on this site than most, but I keep up with you and your wife's adventures on this journey daily.  I am hoping to get my surgery approved very soon and be on my way to joining that long awaited "loser's bench."  Keep up the great work and keep smiling.  I can feel those smiles right through the posts you make..... 

Scott,   on your weight loss.  The side effect of a good BP# is great isnt it?  Just keep up the good work.  Tell Beth hi. Darlene

WOW Scott. That is wonderful news. I really hope you can keep your blood pressure under control. I know how serious that is so i am so glad that losing weight is helping to stabalize that and now it can only get better. Also, you have done so great on your "diet". It really shows your commitment to losing weight. Not that I wasn't commited but I just was not able to lose like that on mine. I am really happy for you. Keep up the great work!

Hi Scott, I am really proud of your commitment in losing the weight for the insurance.  You have done outstanding.  May you continue to keep plugging away and since you have already lost that much, I'd say you are already on the loser's bench.  Always

Congrats, Scott!  That is great news. Keep up the good work.
