For those who don't know, I am participating in the NewStart program through St. Alexis Hospital. Went to my monthly appointment. Lost a total of 6 lbs. Feeling good. Added the app MapMyFitness to my phone, it uses GPS to get a more accurate tracking of exercise. Increasing my workouts to the point where I hope to be up to at least a mile and a half a day. Talk to the Doctor about postponing surgery if I can get a steady progress through diet and exercise. He had no problem with me doing that and even encouraged and applauded me for my current loss so far. He even agreed that while the surgery would solve the problem, a natural resolution was better. The people at NewStart make sure you know that they are on your side and want to help you achieve your goals any way you can and just aren't pushing surgical means. I feel good working with them.
