I'm Doing The Happy Dance!
I may have been on a weight loss stand still, but my body is changing for the better! I had an excellent visit with my endonconologist. My labs were practically perfect! Six months ago I was still on diabetic medicine - three months ago I was taken off the med for a trial run. Today I was told that because of my diet/ lifestyle changes I no longer have to take diabetic medication!!! A year ago my cholesterol was 245. Three months ago it was 200. Today... 187!!! And my good cholesterol is raising!
I am just deficient in Calcium and Vitamin D. So I just have to take extra calcium and D.
I have been off of all pain meds, muscle relaxers and sleeping pills for over a year now. Diet, exercise, over the counter pain meds, and herbs are helping me with my pain.
Also, my heart medication is down to half a pill twice a day! The doctor said that more weight loss and they may be gone too!
I still have my chronic illnesses, but they are not as severer as they used to be.
So, I'm not too discouraged that my weight loss is slowing down, because my body has been adjusting to the lifestyle changes.
So I will continue on, the doctor is proud of my progress and weight loss! I am doing the happy dance!!!
Thank you so much for your continued encouragement and prayers.
God bless you.

WOW..praise and glory to God girl!! That is SO awesome. God reminded me on this weight release journey, 'you didn't gain it over night, you DON'T want to lose it fast'..bit by bit, off it comes and it will stay off than. No more yo yo dieting to lose fast..Plus with excersise involved,,muscle weights more than fat.Your toning, your making, like you said, life style changes, healthy life style...that will last SO much longer..I'm so proud of you and for fighting this good fight of health faith!!
