I am now at day 89 of the TSFL Medifast program. My weight is down 42.5 pounds. My program is now is a stable to gradual decline mode. I still have another 11.5 pounds to lose to get to 175 for a total weight loss of 54 pounds since mid April.
I feel great and have been able to walk 36 holes of golf most weekends over the past 6 weeks even in the Florida summer heat.
I have been getting a lot of positive feedback from folks I see particularly at Church since we have been members there for 23 years, we have gotten to know a lot of people. I have also gotten a lot positive feedback from my fellow "Trunkslammer" golfers at my
club.
In thinking about the healthcare crisis in this country, if we had a general significant weight loss it would save a great deal of money. The estimate vary widely, I will find some statistics.
Healthcare accounts for 17.6% of GNP according to National Health Expenditure Projection by Health and Human Services:
This is an increase from 5.9% in 1965. Amazing. The projected healthcare spending level of GDP by 2018 is 20.3% for a dollar total of $4.4 trillion dollars. Just amazing.
