6-month checkup

Had my 6 month checkup this week. The good new is my A1C level is 5.7 and my blood pressure is 106/63. Yahoo; my other levels are all good. But... I've only lost 5 pounds in the last two months. I knew I wasn't doing very well in that area, and was told it's due to my fast weight loss in the beginning, my age and my activity level. Okay, I'll step it up.

Spent all day working in the yard and so hopefully burned some calories. My doctor told me I wasn't done losing and it could take up to another 1 1/2 years to lose the last 30 pounds. Oh, I don't think so.....

WOOHOO for good reports, thats 2 of us today! Wonderful on the blood pressure!
Feels good to go to the doc and get a good report!

Hurray for you.  I love good reports.  I bet it doesn't take you that long to get those last pounds off.  It will come.

You can do it, Sue.  Increase your protein shakes, babeee!

5 lbs. is 1.25 pounds per week... I'm losing 2.5 lbs per week but I'm only at 3 months.  I think you're doing GREAT  Sue!

Great job, Sue!!!!!!! You are doing great!!

I really needed your encouragement.  I have to keep reminding myself that I had this surgery to control my diabetes and blood pressure.  I was told to stay away from liquid calories, ie protein shakes, but I think I'm going to break the rules and start adding a couple a day. 

We also checked out the acquatic center over in Clarkston, and I think we're going to join.  They have a huge pool for lap swimming and a pretty good work out gym, so...I want to go to my 12 month checkup at, or below, my goal.
