So with that I give you my first entry into my journey to find the skinnier, healthier me. I have know idea how long it's going to take, and I'm not setting a time table for my goal just having the accountability and the desire to get to where I want to be will hopefully be enough.
I am starting a medical weight loss trial that will hopefully help expedite my weight loss. I will be meeting with a nutritionist this week, she will help set out a diet and exercise plan for me. I am participating in a trial for a drug called Liraglutide that is being tested on both obese patients that are not diabetic and also overweight patients who are diabetic. This trial is 56 weeks long and the most recent study, patients who received the drug lost an average of 40 more lbs than the subjects who received the placebo. I am hopeful that I don't get the placebo but even if I do, I am determined that this is my time and I am going to win!
