Sunday weighin day! Lost just over 1/2# this week. I'm happy with it since TOM is visiting! I've hit my next goal - 30#s gone!! 
My next one is a quick one - half way to my goal weight (which is 32.8#s). Then on to 40#s! I'm super psyched!

His name is Michael Yudez, he is with the East/West Health Center here in Denver. The office as a whole is pretty amazing; very focused on whole person health. Besides the docs and PAs they also have massage, chiropractor and accupuncture services. I am very happy there and so glad a good friend referred me to them.

Hang in there! Weight fluctuates all the time - hormones, salt intake, who knows. But with FTS it will come right back off again. Sounds like you did soo good at the picnic! Especially to be surrounded by all that other stuff and sticking it out! Just keep doing what you're doing and you will be fine.

Yoga is the best! Low impact, but so effective! And you just do what you are capable of. I went a few times to a place and it was amazing how good I felt afterwards! And it's great for mood too, helps even things out mentally.

Steph,
I don't know if you are going to follow through on looking for a new doc. But if you do decide to, you might look into finding a D.O. instead of an M.D. Doctor of Osteopathy degree is different in that they tend to focus on the "whole" person instead of just the disease or illness that brings you in that day. I've always gone to M.D.s because I had thought the D.O. degree was kind of a half-assed degree for people who wouldn't make it as M.D. I was wrong!!
I've had a bad knee for a long time; one time I went into the doc because of it and straight up asked him if my weight was a factor with it. He hmm hawed and sayed welll, possibly and then moved right on! When I switched to a new doc (who is a D.O.) in March, first thing he did was hand me FTS and tell me that I need to lose weight and this is the way to do it! That was before he even got my blood tests back!
Anyways as I go on and on
just saying it might be something for you and your family to look into!

Hi y'all! I went to the doctor yesterday for the results from my bloodwork. Here's the lowdown:
since March my....
Total cholesterol went from 300 to 239
LDLs went from 221 to 169
Non-HDL-C (don't know what this is but dr was happy) went from 244 to 181
My Triglycerides are 66 (don't know what they were previously)
My blood sugar went from 104 to 88
My A1C went from 5.1 to 4.4
My weight went from 208 to 179 (their scale runs higher than mine, but still equals to the same loss).
Thank you to all of you for helping this to happen!! My cholesterol is still high, but I'm not even to half way yet so I have no doubt I can get it down further!

Alex,
We are here for you no matter what! Falling off happens. You get back up and you go back to what you were doing. And you know, we all have done it at some point, and will probably do it again at some point! But you've got to remember - we love you regardless!
Jen

The forum is amazing! I try to log in every day - just knowing there are other people doing what I do every do, some days struggling like me and everyday supporting me (and everyone else)!! Sometimes I'll go a week or two without saying anything, but I still log in and read everyone's daily comments and get strength from them. I love this place; I've never felt so supported and encouraged!
