Hi Pals,
Whoopie - I've GRADUATED. After almost 2 years, I have finally reached my goal weight of 12.0 pounds. Actually my real goal was 11.75 (which I did reach), but then I developed an intolerance for the kibble on the diet food. It was decided to take me off the diet food and put me on prescription diet duck - wet and kibble.
M says I'm still going to have to be weighed at home once a week so we can keep a handle on the weight. The vet and M don't want me to mushroom upwards again. he he
M and I are thankful to our vet, Dr. LaFond at Animal Hospital of Ashwaubenon for suggesting I lose this weight to keep me a healthy kitty. I am feeling great now - more active, and even play a bit more (although I've never been one to play a lot).
We are also thankful that I was put on Hills Metabolic Weight Loss Solution while I was losing weight. It was an easy diet to be on as all the food was measured every day for me and there was no question as to how much I was going to be fed. (I am not being paid to mention their name in this blog - this is my own idea).
We are also thankful to @PepiSmartDog's human (Michele) for hosting the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop again this week. Join us and met some new pals.
Concatulations on reaching your goal!!!

Concatulashuns, Mario! I think it do be harder fur kittehs to go on a diet than fur us dogs. I pawsonally has nefur been on a diet coz my mom, she do be measuring out efurry single kibble fur efurry single meal my whole life long. And when I get treats, she DEDUCTS that from my meals. Unless I go hiking, then I get extra. So there you has it. You now knows why I like hiking so much, BOL.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Mario! I know it took a big commitment from you and your mom & dad to lose the weight and be a little more active. Hopefully this help you stay healthy for many more years.
ReplyDeleteConcatulations, Mario! You worked so hard and did such a good job. You look great.
ReplyDeleteThat's totally pawesome Mario, many congratulations!
