No labs til 6 months out...
Jun 29, 2010
So, I emailed the doctor's office to ask about labs. I was concerned about deficiencies so I asked them why they didn't do them at my 3 month check up. Their reply was "we do them at 6 months and one year and then yearly after that."
So I will wait for the 6 month labs. And if I decide that yearly after the first year isn't good enough, my PCP will do them every six months for me.
I feel ok...but I read that you wouldn't notice any problem until it was severe.
I am losing my hair! Oh, yeah... lots and lots of hair going away. I am lucky that I had lots to start with...it isn't noticeable to anyone but me right now.
Well, that is about it for now...down 5 more pounds since last blog. Yay!
Take care,
Rebecca 
S-I-X-T-Y!!! 60 LBS GONE FOREVER!!!
Jun 18, 2010
He was so pleased with my progress. He said I was where he thought I would be around mid-Fall. Mid-Fall?? Wow! 
I am giving myself a gold star!!So, 60 gone and 47 to go to reach my self-set goal. Maybe I can reach that one by October 9th. I am in a wedding then. I just hope that the dress I ordered is not too too too big and cannot be altered. I really hope that is not the case. But, if it is...I can always wear it taken in as far as they can. What's the worst case scenario?
My dress is too big...lol.I met a man in the Dr's office today who had surgery in November and was over 500 lbs to start. He has lost 170 lbs so far! It was amazing.
I feel good and am posting a picture of me. I am happier than I have been in a long while.
Best to you all,
Rebecca
I see the dr again Friday...3 month check-up!
Jun 15, 2010
I see the dr on Friday for my 3 month check-up. I am anxious to see the "offical" weight-loss (since my scale is different than his...but I like his better!)
I know I need to be better about my water intake, protein (I do pretty good mostly), and definitely my vitamins....
I work out pretty often and just started Zumba on Saturday. I never sweat so much in my whole life!!! It was fun and I am sure that I looked like Pee-Wee Herman while I was "dancing."I will be sure to update you all on my "real" weight loss- even though I am ok with the 53.5 my scale says. I have been at a "slow-still" for weeks...with little half pounds falling off here and there, but rather infrequently.

FINALLY!!
Jun 03, 2010
Today.....I have lost 50 pounds!!! That is correct...FIFTY pounds in 10 weeks = 5 lbs a week!!
I am loving life right now.
I was wearing 24W pants before...I am in 16W's and I tried on a 14W last night and got them buttoned and zipped! (They weren't 100% comfortable...but I got them on!) I bought them as my goal pants!!
My tops were 3x (and sometimes 4x depending on style) and I now wear a 1x!!! I still have broad shoulders and can't do much about them...but I feel that an XL is not an impossibility!
My brother is coming for a visit in the beginning of August and I hope to be another 40 pounds lighter by then! I am in a wedding in October and hope to be at goal by then!! Only 57.5 lbs to go!! Almost halfway there!
Feeling good!
Rebecca
