The Time Has Come

As many of you know I was having back problems, I met Dr. McKloskey at a fundraiser meeting for Local Veterans.  I talked with him about his office and agreed to call and make an appointment. . . The next month at our meeting he informed me he still hasn 't seen my name on his appointment schedule.  I again told him I would call the office.  I pulled up his office on the web and discovered that his office also had a weight loss program that dealt with blood sugar levels.  So I called and made two appointments instead of one. 

I was informed Mrs.McKloskey (Ty) took care of the weight loss.  She has been a god send.  We agreed that I would start when I got home from the beach.  I weigh in once a week with Ty and she is there for support and encouragement.  If I have questions she is there with answers.

On August 6th, I met with my family doctor to go over my newest blood work.  My A1C in January was 6.3, in August it was a 5.6.  I could not believe it when he told me he was taking me off the Diabetes List.  This was the best news I could ever here.  He was alittle shocked to hear that I had just started in June and not in January.

I accomplished all this in just 6 short weeks.  With a little work and dedication anyone can accomplish their weight loss goals. 

Many people try to drop the pounds for the wrong reasons.  You have to do it for yourself and nobody else.
