Stepping on the scale at the doctor's office

[mantyangel]

I went to the doctor yesterday and had to step on the scale.  I have lost 30lbs so it is not as dreaded as it used to be.  I weighed in at 140lbs and the nurse gives me a funny look and looks me up and down.  When you have been overweight you are sensitive to these looks and I'm trying to decide is she is surprised by how high or low the number was LOL.  I am only 5'2" and at my height this weight is at the high end of my healthy range so there is room for improvement, but coming from where I have been, I feel pretty good about how I look.  Hmmm wish I had the nerve to ask what she was thinking.

You can do it! That's pretty close to my goal and I'm already 13 pounds closer than I was before.

That is great! I bet she wondered how you did it, she is probably used to seeing the scale move the other way!

I went to the dr today also and I was very pleased! I started my journey at 172 butt, naked first thing in the morning, after peeing, and everything....as low of a weight as I could be! According to the doctors scale today, with clothes on, breakfast in me, coffee, water, etc, I weighed 169! Usually the doctors scales are much meaner to me than my home scale!

I haven't been to the doctor in 3 years because my dd told me I had a year to lose weight. Lol! I was 148 at the time. I got down to 133 in 6 months but then went up to 150 in the 6 months after that so I never made my appointment. Then before I knew it I was up to 155 and then 160 so I still haven't gone!!! I know.... Bad me, but I want to get down to at least 140 before I go so my butt doesn't get chewed too much! Lmao! Though I'm sure it's gonna get chewed for not going in for so long!

I did the same thing. I gained a lot of weight and didn't want that in my medical records, so I didn't go back for 3 yrs. Bad me.

That's awesome! I weigh myself the same way too lol. Naked in the morning before I eat, after I go potty, and I sick in my belly and blow out all the air before I step on the scale lol. Probably doesn't help but I try lol

5'2 and 140lbs is a good place to be! While its on the high end its still healthy! Don't be too worried about what the nurse was thinking, maybe she was surprised or was thinking you weighed less, if you carry your weight well. 

Congrats on loosing that 30!

[mantyangel]

Thank you, that is what I hope she was thinking :)
