Five Month Weigh-In and Check Up

 First and foremost, I must apologize for updating you so late.  My actual appointment was on November 22nd.  I updated Facebook and completely forgot about this Blog after that.

On this day, I weighed in at 242.3 pounds.  Therefore, I have lost a total of 53 pounds!  I am extremely happy with the results.  Also, from my last visit to this visit, a total of six weeks, I lost 12 pounds.

One of the questions I asked my doctor today was about the size of my calves.  I wanted to know why I lose weight and inches all around my body, however, my calves stay the same size.  Dr. Korman was not able to pinpoint why, however, he says I will lose weight the way I do and nothing he can recommend other than what I am doing already will change it. 

We also spoke of the drugs/medications I am on.  My primary doctor has eliminated Metoprolol which is one of the two medications I was taking for high blood pressure.  I hope to be off the other one soon.  Today's blood pressure reading was 112/80.  Great being as in late 2007 it was up to 198/xx. 

My rheumatologist lowered the Methotrexate from six  tablets to four tablets.   This is just a trial elimination because we don't know if that will work or not.  Based on my right hand joint, I think it will have to go back up...  :(

Before I left the doctor's office, I asked the nurse if I could get a copy of my "before" picture to share on this blog.  Here they are: 












As soon as I can get someone to take a "now" picture of me, I'll post those as well. 

Finally, here are my measurements.  I've lost 17.5 inches all around.
