I have purposely not been stepping on the scale for quite a while. I just find that it derails me when I'm doing all the right things, then the scale doesn't reflect the effort I'm putting in. So the last time I was on the scale was at my last doctor appointment, about six months ago.
Went back to the doctor today, and I decided to see what the scale had to say. I'd lost about 15 pounds. I'd like to point out, that last weigh-in was in July. I was likely wearing shorts, a t-shirt, and flip flops. And today I was wearing jeans, a long-sleeved top, and big clunky snow boots. Plus I'd just eaten. (Though I have no recollection of when I'd eaten last when I weighed six months ago.)
Anyway, I expected balloons and fanfare, or at least a comment from the doctor. I got nothing. But that's okay. I know I'm doing well, and maybe that's good enough.

That's fantastic!!
I'm about to throw my scale away. The measuring tape is a much better indication for me.
Leave it to a Dr. to not celebrate your progress--but to always be sure to point out when the weight has gotten worse.
Happy for your success.
It doesn't mater if the dr celebrated or not, you should - what a great accomplishment
