4 1 1/2 months update
Oct 01, 2009
Hey everybody!Well, I have been wanting to update for a while but haven't gotten a chance to. It has been over 4 months now. Time sure does fly! As of yesterday I am 176. I have been loosing REALLY slow but I also haven't been eating very well. I stalled for about 3 weeks and was stuck at 178. I so want to loose as much as I can before my 6 months are over, since the first 6 months is when you loose the most. I can eat a lot more now, about 1/2 a cup of food, sometimes a little more. Past month I was just about eating everything and not watching carbs or my protein intake. I am trying to get back on track. STILL need to start exercising!! When TOM comes around is when I am the worst. I constantly feel hungry, like every hour, and crave not-so-good foods like crazy.
The best part is--I am under 180!! I haven't been under 180, ever! Probably when I was in elementary maybe but I don't remember how much I weighed back then! Its such a great feeling. My husband has been such wonderful support, and my kids are so happy for me. I went out and got colored contacts because I have wanted to for a long time. I put them on and my 10 year old son says "Mom you look beautiful!" It was such an overwhelming feeling :).
The worst part so far? The horrible hair loss. I started loosing my hair about 4-5 weeks ago and it has been horrible! I have lost about 3/4 of my hair :(. Tried the John Frieda shampoo and a lot of other stuff, but nothing works. Now I am just trying to regrow healthy hair. I massage my scalp with oil about 3 times a week. I put the oil on at night and put a towel on my pillow and sleep. In the morning I shampoo really well. I do notice new hair growth so it seems to be working. I have also started taking a hair/nail/skin pill. I was starting to see my scalp from some places and people were starting to notice my hair loss too. I had a lot of good thick hair, now most of it is gone. Well, hopefully it will regrow and be healthy again.
Down 58lbs in 4 1/2 months! I feel AWESOME!!!!
