Doctors Visit

Mar 26, 2010

Yesterday I went to a follow up visit with my Doc.  My total weight loss since my last visit was 10lbs. I was happy because I did not think that I had lost that much.  I mean it has been a struggle to get that scale to move.  Well low and behold my Doc. was not happy with my weight loss.  He was like "Is that all...you could be doing better".  What aren't you doing?  I'm lbs.  You could have done better, that's 2lbs a week you should be losing about 3lbs.  I'm thinking to myself .....I am working out like crazy, not eating much and I think that a 10lbs loss is pretty good.  I told him that I work out about 4 times per week for about 1hour on my treadmill at a rate of about 3.4 he was like "Well that's nothing you could do better.  3.4 is casual"  I'm thinking are you serious?  There was a time when I could not even do 2.4 so for me that is progress.  Then he's says "I would like to for you to reach a goal of about 150lbs".   Now I'm thinking 150lbs I don't know about that I am thinking about 160 -170 I would be happy.   I mean I have curves and I like them and I want to keep them but I am open to see what I look like as I loose.   My goal for the next 4 weeks is to loose 10lbs.
