6 Months Out and Feeling Better at 60

Feb 16, 2009

  I can't believe how active I have become - can easily walk 3 miles at a time or work in the yard all day - shoveling, raking, digging.  My big "60" birthday was great!  I remain extremely grateful for 57 lbs and 34.5 inches lost.  I am wearing a LG/XLG top and a size 14W pants.  I am taking 1/4 the amount of BP medicine.  I did the 5day pouch test and know without a doubt that my pouch is still working very well.  My weight loss slowed to 5lbs per month during the holidays.  I can live with that.  But now that I am off the bad carbs, it has picked up again.  I have no troubling skin issues at this point. Found some great shapewear that is so comfortable - Barely There Invisible thigh slimmers.  I have no regrets or fears that I won't lose all that I need to lose.  I think that for my age and body, slower is good. 

 Switching to calcium citrate and taking some biotin and Vitamin D has helped my nails considerably.  Hair loss has slowed down and is not freaking me out at this point.

 I couldn't be more pleased and grateful to God.
