  • 2 years on Atkins & my DR visit

    Well I visited my DR for my annual check up. She is always surprised that I'm still sticking with my Atkins but she is paying attention.

    My blood pressure is now LOW, go figure, LOW huh, yep, 100/70. Well that's cool.

    I've lost yet another 10 pounds since my last visit (last year).

    That's a total of 75 pounds (according to her scale) since I started back in 2003 and that's at a mid-morning appointment in my clothes etc...

    My echo-cardiogram was normal, yea really, NORMAL... (LOL) But of course it was normal!

    I await the results on the blood work and the complete metabolic panel (lipids, aka FAT, etc...) later in the week. But I only expect good news there too.

    So my check-up is normal and she's impressed that I'm maintaining my weight loss (and still loosing) and she says I'm in great health.

    I think next year I'll need to take her a few sample menus with favorite recipes so she can pass them along to her other patients. She always asks about the foods I eat.

              hooray for annual Dr visits like that. Your doc knows how unlikely it was that somebody would still be doing a weight loss plan a yr later and still losing after an initial weight loss. Weigh to go.

                I agree. My doctor always tells me that his patients go on/off diets as much as they change their underwear. So, its probably really amazing to yours that you have changed your life-style and are healthy, happy and still losing!! Congratulations!!!

                    Congrats! You look fantastic, too! I've got to quit teasing my doctor. Every time he asks what I've been eating, I say, "bacon!" I think I'll follow your example and write out a few recipes for him.
