Checked in...



This morning I had my 6 week follow up with Dr. Bauer, since March 24th, I have lost a total of 35 pounds fully clothed and 38 pounds in my birthday suit. I lost 12 lbs in the past 6 weeks and so I DON'T have to start back at week one (thank goodness!). I get to continue on my healthy lifestyle choice eating for another 6 weeks and then we'll see what happens.

3 years ago I was working with Medi Weightloss Clinics and lost 60 pounds in slightly over 4 months, Dr. Bauer brought this up and I told him that the pace I'm going at is fine with me. I don't want to gain it back this time, I want to do it the right way and not starve myself or depend on appetite suppressants forever. I think he was a little concerned that I was okay with only losing 2 pounds a week, but he didn't say so.

My plan now is to keep doing what I'm doing, work out 5/6 days a week for an hour, but to also eat more salads and less whole grain/whole wheat products. I'm also working on not taking the appetite suppresant every day. Dr. Bauer and I agreed that it should be an "emergency use only" after this next 6 weeks, but to start weening myself off of it now.

35 pounds down, 100 to go and I'm perfectly fine with that.
