Saw the doc last night for a routine check-up. He'd been concerned because my white blood cell count had been "a little low", and wanted the test repeated just to be on the safe side (it was fine; thanks for asking...)
Weight: 178 pounds. Exactly what I weighed at my September and July appointments.
Blood pressure: 130/78. Med-free for nine months. Same pressure as the September appointment.
So I've kept my weight constant for ~ 6 months now, and my blood pressure is staying safely in the "normal" range. Life. Is. Good.
That is all.

Unless and until a person has had a problem with weight they cannot fully appreciate the accomplishment.
I am not one of those people. Being able to stay even over the holidays is a great victory.
I am still 93.4 pounds heavier than you are but I am 61.6 pounds lighter than I was on January 1st of this year.
So I have to try and keep looking on the bright side.
buck,
Losing ~ 62 pounds is still one HELL of an accomplishment. You have every right to be proud of where you are right now!
I'm at the point where I'm willing to give myself three "free" days (meaning an entire day where I don't count calories): Thanksgiving, Christmas, and my birthday...
I'd like to add in a couple more, like a summer BBQ day, but that will come further down the road once I'm more secure that I'm not going to gain it all back...
Jay, "boo-yah"!
I'm giving myself a free MONTH. Primarily, it's because my schedule makes it darn near impossible to eat cleanly, what with all the parties & celebrations going on.
Eh.
So, I'm packing on the weights & trying to lift heavier and gain more muscle that'll hopefully still be there when I shed away some of this fat that is also being packed on around the ol' waistline.
Like I said, "eh". I do this every year. Yeah, it gets harder to take it back off with each passing year but at the same time it seems as though the muscle is going on a bit easier than in years past.
Maybe it's all that beer, ice cream & pizza? :)
Way to go Jay! I've never had a "problem" with my weight (I'm still hovering around the middle of "healthy" BMI) but things aren't as....well placed, as they used to be. However hubby and I are doing our best to have another baby and I just can't get motivated to put out extra effort until we're done breeding.
Congratulations Jay!!! That's excellent!
And Buck - good for you!!!
Weight is a difficult thing to lose and once lost it insists upon finding you again. *grin*
Now if you'll excuse me - I think I need to find some more exclamation points for this comment - you both deserve it!
If only I could completely avoid the Triscuits and salted peanuts....
Good! Except when some thoughtlessly selfish dimwit leaves his U-Haul in the middle of the road! ;-)
