My journey that I'd love to share with you

[We Got This]

Hello Everyone!!!

My name here is "We Got This", because to me it's a mantra that says "We are the one in control and we have the reins. We are in control of our body and our decisions of what we do with it." It's 'We', not 'I', because I'm a FIRM believer in TEAM!!!!!

I think that with each of our own goals, purposes and dreams for doing this program - it really should be shared. We are strong people to be on this program and being an example for those in our environment. I wish to share my journey with those that are willing to read and follow - and more importantly - lead by example so that I can follow in their successful foot steps!!!

A little about me: I'm a 35yo gal from the States. I have been overweight for 17 years. I started Dr. Cohen's program last year and lost 50 pounds in 4 months. I then did a lot of traveling and fell off the band wagon. I kept the weight off for months and months. Then after the New Year, some of it started to creep back on, as I didn't follow good eating habits...

However, I'm in school to be a doctor in a health field and I LOVE being inspired by others and hope to inspire my future patients - into getting healthy. As I don't listen to people who tell me to do one thing, while they clearly are not taking their own advice - I am owning up and 'cleaning up my own backyard' now.

I REALLY rely on the forums for advice, inspiration and the sheer knowledge that others are going through the same things.

I have lost 10 pounds in my first week!! That's more than I lost the first time, in the entire first month!!!! Needless to say....I'm THRILLED!!!!!!!

I wish to create friendships and be of help to those who need. I find it keeps me stronger and helps me focus on the long term goal. I'll be here for a while and I would love to "meet" you and work together as we go through this amazing journey together!!

All the best to you in having an awesome day!!!

Xoxox,
We Got This

Great to see you on board. It is such fun to see those lbs (kgs) dropping down down and down. You stick with it and you will be there in no time. As you mentioned - lead by example with your patients.

Hi WGT!

Great results so far! That must be a nice boost for morale!

And good on you for wanting to be the kind of doctor that leads by example. I've lost count of the amount of times my dad has come back from a GP checkup to say that the doctor has advised him to lose weight, followed by a physical description of his doctor and the word 'hypocrite!' You will inspire many people, I'm sure!
