When I went back to the doctor for the follow up- he told me his scale had read 269 the previous visit. Quite a bit more than the 251 I thought I weighed. I went out and bought new scales that day that agreed with his scales at that time, with a new reading of 247. As of now, I'm hanging around 224 to 225. Still keeping it around 1100 to 1500 calories, and I've quit using elevators and am climbing stairs instead, as well as upping the activity as I have time. Days off I'm constantly moving. Toning up a bit, dropped 3 pant sizes....now it's just the daily slog to get rid of another pound....When I get irritated about the pace, I remind myself that just 3 months ago I weighed over 40 lbs more.
