Months 3, 4 & 5 (update)

Jan 21, 2010

Trying to catch up here. ..... Sorry its going to be boring! 
 
I have been feeling great.  I hate to say that because I feel like I am going to jinx myself.  It really has not been an easy adjustment for me.

Now at 5 months I am feeling more normal than ever, though I have felt great all along.   Seems like I can eat more, not sure if that is a good thing or not. I have never thrown up.  I have only felt like I might one time after half piece of bread, egg, an 1 slice of precooked bacon.  I have never have had precooked bacon again.... but who knows what the cause was. That was around 12 weeks.

  I  get gas when I have white flour, sugar.   I do not count carbs, I try to limit them and often do not have room for them but they sneak in from time to time.  I am definitely not a die hard about them that is for sure, maybe that is why I do not feel I have an obsession with them either, who knows.  My bm's are quite normal and formed unless I have eating something that changes them like carbs. I go once in the am, once in the pm. I have only seem that oil slicks or drops in the bowl that people mention once, and that was around 3 1/2 months out. 
. 
 I sure have been clothes shopping a lot.  It is kind of getting annoying!, never thought I would say that!  Expensive and time consuming, but a girl has got to do what a girl has got to do!  I try to shop really good sales but preferably clearance. I am determined to look good in the weight loss stage, not just in the end.  I do not go overboard, just 2 pair of work pants at all times, 1 pair of jeans, sleep clothes. But when I need to get new clothes every 6 weeks, well you get the picture.
I did buy a pair of jeans and the next 2 sizes down, that worked great but they do not make my next size : ( now I am on the hunt again for a good pair of jeans size 16 or less....

I am wearing a size 16 pants down from a tight &  generous size 22-24 (I probably should have been wearing size 26-28) My shirt size was about 2-3x and now I am a  x-large/14/16.     

I think I might be hitting my first stall. We will see how the next few days go. If I have done my math right, I am 61% weight loss. That means 58lbs to get to go to 150lbs. I might even like to loose more than that, I just don't know yet, I plan on playing it by ear, but realize it is not all in my control either.  Medical range for me is something like 111-150lbs, lowest I ever have been in my life was in neighborhood of 170lbs so it is hard for me to judge 150lbs.  Plus I am older now and I will have extra skin. ...
