Non-Scale Victories

Went to my doctor for a med check and my blood pressure was 90/60. Whoops. She said we are over-medicating my blood pressure and because I've lost so much weight, we need to reduce my blood pressure medications. Yay!

She also said that I've lost more weight than any other person she's known without weight loss surgery. The next person had lost 100 pounds. I've lost near twice that. Another yay!

I'm working on a current set of Before and After pics. I thought I had them ready but #1 Blogger is doing funky things like turning them on their side and #2 the before pics were taken at a different time of day and the tones are different. I don't like it so I want a new set taken. It might be the weekend before my husband can do so while the light is right since he works. I'm not seeing a lot of difference except in my face between the 555 pound pics and the 488 pound pics. Maybe you'll be able to when I get them posted.

  7. I found your blog a year or so ago (the post about the bathroom hygiene issues) and I found your blog again just yesterday (again - the same post) so I decided to read your blog and I am impressed with your weight loss! Congrats!! I just got a smart phone and installed the myfitnesspal app so I can watch my calories. I've tried many other "diets" that just simply didn't work or were way too restrictive (Atkins and South Beach Diet) I hope to figure this out, though I'm a little alarmed that I'm supposed to eat 2450 calories per day to lose 1 pound per week (according to that app). I'm 370 pounds and 5'2" (female). But I'll try it. I probably don't eat that many calories per day but I'll log everything I eat and drink so hopefully I can get a good idea of my daily intake. I am proud of you for working so hard. I hope we can become friends. Much luck to you! Hugs!!
