I'll have to look back and check on the 900 calories I thought it was really low... Maybe 1200 is the reduced number. If I'm exercising 1200 is unrealistic let alone 900. (My bodybugg tells me to shoot for an 850 deficit and I usually end up with about 1,000 but it's usually still me eating 1500+ calories  )
I was really nervous about meeting w/ my PCP and the doc in charge because I thought they'd deny me but I've been really fortunate. Hope it rubs off on you! |
Hey Ladies,
So I am getting worried about Ms. Ready...anyone hear from her. I cannot even imagine how stressed she must be feeling.
So I did go to the doctor today for my 6-week follow-up and I can't believe I have lost 20 pounds...he was so happy. It was pretty good, he ordered some labs (TSH?, Thamine, and Vitnamin D Level). I have to go back to see him in six weeks to see how I'm doing. I think by the time this is over me and him will be like best friends....LOL cause I have to see him every six weeks and I haven't even started my six months yet.
Well, I hope everyone is doing okay...and have a safe and fun holiday weekend.
