Hi,
First time posting--thought I'd share a little encouraging coincidence. I do insurance exams as a part time job, and one of the questions on the paramedical exam form is "has your weight changed in the past year?"

The lady I was examining said "yes", so I asked how much gained or lost, and she said, "I'VE LOST 117 LBS" and pointed to her copy of the new diet revolution.

Encouraging, eh! So maybe you're losing only about 8-10 lbs a month--in a year that's 100-120 lbs.

Now from an insurance point of view, even though if I were her I would be jumping up and down telling everyone crossed me path, would she not have been better off answering no to your question? Just wondering, coming time soon to readjust my insurance.

goody,

great story, and welcome to the forum

Well, I'm not an agent, but I was thinking maybe that I was doing the exam as a re-adjustment because of the weight loss. She is certainly a lower risk, maybe she'll get a lower premium?

I needed a story like this, Thank you so much, I could just kiss ya. Or hug ya!

I was getting frustrated cause I've only lost 5 pounds in my first 9 days of Induction. But hey another 5 pounds my end of month that makes 10. And yeah, 100-120 by this time next year is exactly what I need to lose. So I will not feel so frustrated anymore. I can do this.

Wow! Your right all those little pounds do add up when you look at it in a years time. That is encouraging.
