Success!

This picture shows me that it is important to start gaining muscle.  I am going to sign up with the new gym in the next week or two.  I may have to drive a little further to a gym that is already open as I wait for them to get the one closer to me finished.  Looking at the picture of fat versus muscle shows me I need to work on building muscle.

My Weekly Weight Loss Details

When I started losing weight 7 months ago I was in a size 14. Today I went to Kohl's and bought size 6 jeans.  They feel so small!
I got the new skinny jeans.  I don't know, if your pushing 59 it is appropriate to wear skinny jeans or not.  I actually like them so I think I will be wearing skinny jeans this year.  

I think I could probably wear a large top.  With the size of my chest it's hard to get a smaller size top.  I did go buy some new bras last week.  My others were getting a little too big and stretched out of shape.

Doctor's Appointment

I had my doctor's appointment last week.  It was 6 months ago when I went in the last time.  When my doctor walked in the room he said, "Well, I see you have lost weight!"  He looked at my chart and said, "You've lost lots of weight!"  That was fun!  

My blood pressure was 100/74.  The doctor told me to quit taking one of my blood pressure meds.  Yeah!!!  Success!!  He thought my cholesterol was still too high to quit taking my cholesterol medicine. I have thought about just stopping it anyway.  I don't like the idea of taking statins.  My sugar was 99.  Other than my cholesterol everything was great.  Very close to a healthy BMI.

The doctor says now is the time that I have to really be careful.   He is worried I will turn around and gain it back.  I don't think so, mister!!  I have this handled!

Surprise

Before I left for the doctor I got on my scale with my clothes on and weighed to see what I weighed on my scale.  It said 149.5.  I went to the doctor and weighed.  I weighed 151.2.  I thought my scale was 3 pounds light.  It is really only a little less than 2 pounds light.  So I actually weigh about 1 pound less than I thought.  When I was heavier the scale was 3 pounds light.  My son told me that it was different at lesser weights.  He was right.

I weighed 151.2.  The top of my healthy BMI is 149.5.  Below is my weight as of today!
