I HAD MY DOCTOR APPOINTMENT TODAY!
So today was the day! I was so nervous this morning and ended up getting to the doctor early. I checked in and sat there waiting my turn. Finally I was called in and they did all the work up on me and took me to the room to wait for the doctor.
Well when she walked in she started looking at my chart and stuff and she is like you have lost weight. I was like yup! She asked me a bunch of questions about how I was doing it, then she said ” you’re doing good” 
I felt a rush of pride come over me and I said ” yes I am” and ” I am doing it all on my own, well mostly on my own. I did give all of my buddies here a shout out for being my support team!!!
We talked some more and she kept telling me I was doing great. She did my exam and then she left the room while I got dressed again and then I met her in the hall so she could go over some stuff with me. When I walked out of the room, she told me I looked wodnerful and that she wants me to keep going. That I look great!! And the last thing that she said to me was ” I’m proud of you”… I almost wanted to start crying.
My ego got so big after that visit!!! I am so proud of myself. I am able to do it. I can do this for myself and so that I can have a child.
We also talked about my menstral cycles, being a bit more regular lately. She is happy wth that but woudl like them to be moe regular. She thinks that if I drop more weight it will happen. She also said that just because my cycles are getting more normal doesn’t mean that I am ovulating, which I need to do in order to conceive. So she showed me how to chart my Basal body temperatures in the morning before I get out of bed. She wants me to do that for a few cycles and see how looks. She woudl ultimatly like to see me down to 200lb or lower. She thinks that would be the best for me to conceive.
After my appointment today I feel like I have this new energy. I exercised for 30 minuets with the Wii Fit doing aerobics and yoga and strength training. THen I just used my elliptical for 25 minutes. And what makes me the proudest of myself is that I baked chocolate chip cookies the other day, and they are still sitting on the counter. I didn’t touch them all week. In fact I haven’t touched anything that I shoudln’t have been eating all week! I was lost, but now I am found again. I am back on track and doing better than ever.
Today is the best day I have had in a long time. ” I’m proud of you” I keep playing that over and over in my head, as I see the doctor’s face with a huge smile on it and feel wonderful! Like all my work was worth it!

I hate going to the doctor, but after my last visit, when the doctor complimented me on losing weight, I may actually look forward to my next appointment (not if I keep gaining weight though, yikes!)
Way to go! You deserve to be proud of yourself! keep up the great job!!
GOOD FOR YOU. AND REMEMBER THAT I WAS 275LBS AND I DIDNT GET PREGNANT UNTIL I WAS 170LBS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I COULDNT DO IT. BUT NOW SHE IS 2 YEARS OLD. SO DONT GIVE UP GIRL IT IS POSSIBLE AND YOU ARE DOING SO WELL
well done!! we’re all so proud. keeep it up!
YEA! I knew it would go well.
Hey my doctor wants me between 120-130 to have a kid so be glad you are tall!
Way to go! I’m glad the doctor noticed. They always notice when you are gaining weight. They don’t always give credit when the opposite is happening. They usually just say that I need to lose more. My thinking is that if it was so easy everyone would be thin. Including many doctors.
That’s such great news! I’m very happy for you! You never know, though what GOD has planned. I didn’t think I could ever get pregnant, weight loss wasn’t even mentioned to me as an option of being able to conceive… I lost 12 pounds and BOOM! 9 months later a cute, adorable, squirmy babdy girl appeared!
I hope all goes well for you!
Great job.
That is awesome!! I am so happy for you and proud of you!! You have the best incentive ever! To be able to get pregnant is a wonderful goal!
Good for you not touching the CCCookies. I find though that after a while of dieting/lifestyle change whatever you want to call it, you look different at food and especially snacks. It used to be such a mindless pasttime to snack on a couple cookies or a bag of chips. But now when you think of what it does to your body.. I don’t really feel like eating that anymore. (occasional cravings aside lol)
Again ^5 for you!! Make that boost last!!
Ahhh, I’m so happy for you Julie. You weren’t really lost, just a little off the track for a minute. I can hardly wait to start knitting baby things. Now I’m even more motivated too, not that I want a baby….YIKES! But I know I’ll be an honorary granny. Love you!
You have every reason to be proud of yourself! You have come a long way, girl. You will go a long way further! I am proud of you too!
Big HUGS!
Yaeh….I am soooooooooo happy for you girl!
I am also glad that we don’t have to kick the doctors behind 
Keep on going girl…proud and strong!
Whoooo hoooo! Oh Julie I’m just so very proud of you. Your doctor saw in you what we “see” everyday. Keep up the great work!!!
Whoooo hooooo! I’m just so proud of you Julie:) Your doctor saw in you what we “see” everyday. Keep up the great work!
