Dietician

So, I just came back from a meeting with my dietician. Today is my first day on the weight loss program I signed up for back in December. I had to meet with a nurse practitioner, dietician, and exercise pysiologist. I have put on 1/2 half a pound, but I expected that after this weekend.

The dietician has placed me on a low cal, low carb, low fat diet, eating healthy whole foods. She will help me to stay accountable because I will meet with her every two weeks one-on-one and go over my food journal. The good thing about the plan is that I can stick to clean eating if I want, because it all fits into the eating plan she has set for me.

So now I have my friends at EP, my blog, my dietician, my exercise pysiologist, and the people in my "weight loss" class to help me through this journey to lose this excess weight.

Oh yes, the best part, according to my new "team" my goal weight should be between 155 and 170, because of my frame and the maintainability. So that means less weight to lose initially. Now that is exciting!

*** Edited to add ****
Almost forgot!
I have lost 1.5 inches from my hip measurement since Dec 14.

Umm...

YEAH! You are pretty tall. Two inches taller than me. 135 seems really little for a person your height. But hey...I am not in charge anyone elses goals but my own. I am glad you are aiming for 155-170. My nurse practitioner wants me to get to like 140. We will see how I feel at 155 (lol)

1/2 a pound isnt too bad. I ran into a guy at the gym that I hadnt seen there forever...I guess he got hurt and couldnt workout...well he gained  8 pounds in two weeks...YIKES!!!

I think you have a GREAT support team!

Goal

Yeah, 135 is quite low, I didn't really know what to put there. I was thinking prebaby weight from almost 13 years ago. But now that I think about it I don't think I was at 135 even then.

I'm going to change my goal to 170 and shoot for that. Then see what happens after that.

WOW..

That is amazing! You lost inches even through the holidays....you definatly deserve a pat on the back for that one! Congrats!

Dietician

I think it's great that you are getting all of this help. The best part is that the dietician will make sure you are losing weight in a healthy way. There are too many fads and unhealthy ways to lose weight. You are totally going about this the right way!!!
