First Clinical

Tonight I had my first clinical visit, the once monthly visits with the doctor over the MWM Program. Great visit!

I lost 1.8 lbs since last week, for a total of 15.4 lbs. But the really great news was that my cholestrol is now down to 156! It was a whopping 214 when I started the program 23 days ago.

These are the kind of things that can really help a girl stay motivated!

MWMP - week 3

Tonight's meeting featured 3 previous participants in the medical weight management program: Mary, Dennis, and Craig. Mary lost 48 lbs total (her goal). Dennis has lost 65 lbs and has transitioned back to food while working on losing about 15 more lbs. Craig lost 125 lbs and I believe would like to lose about 10 more.

I am at 13.6 lbs total so far. Yippee!!

The three of them shared the stories about why they started the program, what helped them get through it, and what is working for them now that they are eating again and no longer doing the meal replacement beverages.

It was a motivational evening for sure!
