5 months - update

Nov 09, 2011

Time seems to be dragging on. Why am I still fat?!  Okay, just kidding. I am kind of disappointed in my weight loss though. I took a break from the scale, but it just seems like even more disappointment to go 1-2 weeks without weighing and then realize youve been stalled the whole time. But it is what it is.

For the 5 month mark, I hit 260, for a total loss of 160 lbs (and 75 since surgery). Could be better, could be worse. My only regret right now is not taking body fat % before surgery. I feel like I am losing slowly, but then, I also feel like with all my crazy workouts, I have lost less muscle mass than others who are losing more quickly. I dont know if its true  now because I never measured, but to keep my sanity, that's what I'm telling myself.

I'm still dealing with constipation from hell and reflux. Some days are really bad and all I want to do is sign up for a bypass (for the gerd) but it wouldnt solve my constipation issues, so then I decide against it. I'm sure if I stopped drinking coffee, some of my reflux would be improved, but I guess ive decided that id rather suffer.  

Im desperately getting the plastic surgery itch - as much as i dont ever wnt to have surgery again, im almost going crazy over all this loose skin. For whatever reason, the last couple weeks made my thighs take a turn for the worse. Before that, they were totally fine, and now  - yuck. If I could just do my arms though, I could live with the rest. I'm starting to think that I'll just lose another 30-40 lbs and then do them. That would put me maybe 40 lbs from my goal - i dont know how much that would affect my arms really.
