Nutritionist Visit No. 18 - Signed Up for Another Hitch
Hi, everyone!
This morning on my scale, I saw a "decade" I haven't seen since grade school -- the 140s! I was 149.5 this morning and was really whooping it up. I've upped my final goal number from 140 to 145 because I think I might be satisfied with 145 -- we'll see when I get there, but I really don't want my face/neck to get any thinner -- though I'd welcome it in my hips and stomach! :-) Saw my nutritionist yesterday for visit no. 18, which wraps up my second nine-visit term. He was really really complimentary and wonderful, even though I didn't do so great last month (eating too many big dinners out and slightly disregarding stricter carb limits). I said "I really did terrible last month and I'll have a better checkup next time" -- and he stopped me, saying "No negative talk about my beautiful Mary!" (I wish everyone could go to this guy, LOL.) He said I have achieved the dream of 120 million American women -- and he has only the utmost respect for me and what I've been able to do. (I told him that to me, he is practically a deity, LOL.) For the first time, he started talking about maintenance instead of further loss! I don't think he realized that I had full intentions of signing up for another nine visits, because he offered me another "final" visit for free. When I said I wanted to stay with him because I needed a period of help and accountability in keeping it off, he said he would still give me a free visit, and just tack it on to the end of the other nine visits. (He also gave me a nice discount off his usual price.) His program now has his clients doing the 9 visits in 7 months -- but he is going to stretch out my 10 visits over 14 months so that we can really get my maintenance nailed down. On another note, a local television station is doing a version of "extreme makeovers" that I might apply for to get rid of the excess skin. I keep going back and forth on "doing it myself" (continuing my efforts over the next year and waiting to see if the skin will recover) -- or going under the knife (eek). The surgeon they're using is the one I had tentatively chosen of the three I visited -- and it would be free -- so that's very tempting. I may just apply for the hell of it -- I can always say no if I change my mind, I guess. OK, enough rambling -- here are this month's results. Percent Body Fat: May 7: 45.3% May 25: 42.7% (-2.6% since last visit) June 25: 39.9% (-2.8%) July 16: 37.6% (-2.3%) August 22: 34.6% (-3.0%) Sept. 17: 33.3% (-1.3%) Oct. 15: 29.4% (-3.9%) Nov. 18: 28.3% (-1.1%) Dec. 17: 26.9% (-1.4%) Jan. 16: 25.5% (-1.4%) Feb. 13: 24.4% (-1.1%) Mar. 20: 25.4% (+1.0%) Apr. 24: 24.7% (-0.7%) May 22: 23.7% (-1.0%) June 20: 21.8% (-1.9%) July 29: 21.1% (-0.7%) Aug. 28: 20.3% (-0.9%) Oct. 2: 20.2% (-0.2%) (Lost a total of 25.3% body fat so far.)

Nutritionist Visit No. 18 - Signed Up for Another Hitch
I'm glad and not at all surprised that you had another successful visit.
It's been great to watch your amazing progress over the past few months. Let us know about your decision to apply for the makeover.

Nutritionist Visit No. 18 - Signed Up for Another Hitch
Mary
I probably already said several times how I've run out of adjectives to describe how wonderful you are! Your nutritionist sounds like a gem. It must help to have his encouragement and not be just another patient to be processed - you're very lucky there. Do be sure to keep on posting here even when you get to maintenance. I'm sure I'm not the only one here following you with great interest, and taking not a little inspiration from you I have the same issues with my face and neck already - looking quite scrawny but still too much fat on the hips and thighs. I hope it will even out in time. I know you can't spot reduce, but I wonder if there's surgery to put some of my butt round my neck to pad it out - LOL!! janice 233/161/133 On Fri, 3 Oct 2003 07:29:21 -0400, "Mary M - Ohio" wrote: Hi, everyone! This morning on my scale, I saw a "decade" I haven't seen since grade school -- the 140s! I was 149.5 this morning and was really whooping it up. I've upped my final goal number from 140 to 145 because I think I might be satisfied with 145 -- we'll see when I get there, but I really don't want my face/neck to get any thinner -- though I'd welcome it in my hips and stomach! :-) Saw my nutritionist yesterday for visit no. 18, which wraps up my second nine-visit term. He was really really complimentary and wonderful, even though I didn't do so great last month (eating too many big dinners out and slightly disregarding stricter carb limits). I said "I really did terrible last month and I'll have a better checkup next time" -- and he stopped me, saying "No negative talk about my beautiful Mary!" (I wish everyone could go to this guy, LOL.) He said I have achieved the dream of 120 million American women -- and he has only the utmost respect for me and what I've been able to do. (I told him that to me, he is practically a deity, LOL.) For the first time, he started talking about maintenance instead of further loss! I don't think he realized that I had full intentions of signing up for another nine visits, because he offered me another "final" visit for free. When I said I wanted to stay with him because I needed a period of help and accountability in keeping it off, he said he would still give me a free visit, and just tack it on to the end of the other nine visits. (He also gave me a nice discount off his usual price.) His program now has his clients doing the 9 visits in 7 months -- but he is going to stretch out my 10 visits over 14 months so that we can really get my maintenance nailed down. On another note, a local television station is doing a version of "extreme makeovers" that I might apply for to get rid of the excess skin. I keep going back and forth on "doing it myself" (continuing my efforts over the next year and waiting to see if the skin will recover) -- or going under the knife (eek). The surgeon they're using is the one I had tentatively chosen of the three I visited -- and it would be free -- so that's very tempting.

Mary M 325-150-145 That's absolutely amazing. Well done. On the subject of extreme makeovers, I have to say that I find the idea somewhat obscene for some reason. I can't explain why logically. I can understand why people who have serious abnormalities, making them very self concious, get cosmetic surgery. Many of the people who have been on that show (and I'm only speaking of the ones they had on an Oprah special; I've not seen the actual show itself) looked fine to me. I wish healthy people could be happy with their looks. I wish we, as a species, didn't place such a great importance on appearance. Anyway, I admire your great success. You've done a fantastic job.

Mary M 325-150-145 Mary, You have been very motivational for me since the first time I read your posts and you continue to be. I've started a transition to maintenance and agree with you that it is necessary to continue visits to maintain accountability. As far as surgery goes, I'm projecting summer 2005 as my time for a tummy tuck and anything else that needs done by then. I say go for what makes you feel good. You worked hard and deserve it.
