5 month 2 week update

Aug 08, 2011

The last few months have been a whirlwind at both home and work.

Exciting:
I have lost 103 lbs putting me at 274
BMI is down from 56 Super Morbidly Obese to 40 Morbidly Obese
I definitely notice the difference in my body comfort and mobility.
It is much easier to do things like put on my socks or even walk around the mall for a few hours.
Almost everything in my closet fits

Not as exciting:
I am not yet at a weight that is a WOW for me. In the past, I maintained a weight right around this range off and on. I know more loss is coming, but it is much slower than it was at first
I am starting to experience some of the usual "loser's bench" challenges (where did my boobs go? OMG I am losing SO much hair!)


I am in general good health with improved blood pressure. I do lack energy sometimes so I have kicked up my protein and vitamin regime over the last few weeks.

In other news, my husband had VSG surgery w/Dr. Cirangle in April and is firmly planted on the loser's bench with me. Yay! It's so great to have a pal do this with me. We are also a very cheap date! Between the two of us, we eat less than 1 person.

Til next time - Cheers!
