Hi 36F, 5’3, 266.8 lbs here. First time posting and I feel rather silly posting this, but it happened a week ago and still can’t stop smiling. So about a month ago I went to the doctor to get my thyroid and vitamin levels checked on recommendation of my therapist to see if my physical health was affecting my mental health. No such luck. But they weighed me in that visit at 270.6 lbs. and they took my A1C1 which thank God came back normal. But he put me on Metformin anyway for my PCOS and of course it would help if my blood sugar was spiking which he thought it might be. Waiting on those test results the next few days was terrifying. Not because I was afraid of what they would find, but what I KNEW they would find. And they did, my cholesterol was a little high, sugar a little high, and after an ultrasound fatty liver all which could be reversed with diet and exercise. He was a new doctor and I wanted him to know I was taking this seriously. I ate better most days and went to the gym like 3 times and when I saw a month later at his office I had lost just 3 lbs I felt so mad at myself.
He spent the first good half of the appointment praising me on my loss and how I did such a great job. 😀. I’m in America this is my GP, no clue how this clinics doctor can spend so much time with me, but I’m glad he did. FYI, I feel like I kinda cheated cause Metformin gave me HORRIBLE stomach issues. But whatever, I see him at the end of this month and hopefully I’ll be at an even lower weight.
TLDR: Lost 3 lbs in 3 weeks, doctor praised it endlessly.
