10/12/12

Well, I went to my dietician today for the 3rd month which puts me at the halfway mark. I spoke to her about my caloric intake and she said it was OK to stay between 1500-1600 calories, but no more than 1600 calories. She really stressed me looking into a gym where I can use the pool and that is my goal before I see her again next month. In fact, she wants me to bring her a brochure from the gym which will force me to at least go and check it out. Once I go the first time, it will make it much easier for me to continue going to the gym. Once I start the exercise, I'm sure I will start dropping the weight faster again. The other goal that we set up was for me to stay off the scale except for only once a week. I think that will be the most difficult to achieve, but I'm going to do it even if it kills me--LOL. I have some good news though--I finally dropped below the 330# mark. YEAH!! I hope to lose 30 more pounds by the end of January--Of course, I will be very happy if it's more than 30#. I want my goal to be realistic though.

Excellent news on the drop in weight! I am proud of you! So good of you to be seeing a dietician. We don't have any gyms near us so I invested in an elliptical machine. I found a great deal on one at Sam's Club. Good Luck!

That's awesome! You're doing great! :D I also have an elliptical machine and it works like a charm. Less stress on the joints too...that's why I love it personally lol I was born with bad ankles and the extra weight doesn't help! :)

That's good that your doctor is helping you set such realistic goals. I'm sure you'll love the pool once you see what it does to your body!

I also have an elliptical machine that I bought over 6 years ago. I used it all the time before I developed Sarcoidosis and gained about 100#. I can't wait to get back to it, but my back makes it difficult right now. I'm hoping to improve my core muscles by exercising and swimming in the pool and helping my back get stronger. Thanks everyone for all your encouragement.
