2012! New Beginnings!

Jan 01, 2012

  It's a new year and another leg (last half) of my weight lose journey.
I now weigh 212 lbs. and have no  specific goal as to when I will reach my goal but I suspect it will take another 6 months or so and that is just fine with me.  I'm not in a hurry.
It's very exciting to be closer and closer to getting under 200 lbs!
I seem to be in this pattern of stall 3 weeks then lose around 4 - 5 lbs within a couple days,
then the same process starts over again.
I probably could lose faster but I'm not always careful about limiting carbs and exercise.  
Water continues to be a struggle.  I just cannot get a gallon in daily even when I try harder to achieve that amount.

Daily exercise has been an issue as well.  No surprise, my undisciplined nature is what got me morbidly obese in the first place but I had hubby haul my rebounder out of the attic and plan to bounce more diligently now that we are past the hub-bub of the holidays. I also need to lift weights as I need to tone badly.  LOTS of droopy, wrinkled skin on upper arms, thighs, stomach and butt.  UG-LY!  Speaking of ugly body parts, my ass has disappeared to be replaced by a puddle of droopy skin and my breast looks like long deflated balloons.  (Thank God for Lane Bryant's push up bras!)  Good thing my hubby of 37 years loves me "as is"....not that being obese was  prettier but at least those parts were plumped out and more bouncy. 
My face is getting more wrinkled too.  Oh well, my health is more important than being pretty. 
Past my prime anyway  and I look much better in clothing!

My hair started falling out around 3 months out and since I've already had hair loss for the last 30 years and it was very thin hair to start out with the additional loss is pretty depressing for me.  I plan to look into getting a wig or wiglet soon.  My top is soooo thin.
I'm worried that with an already pre-exisitng hair loss problem, mine might not grow back.
Well bald, wrinkled and healthy is a much better alternative to being morbid obesity with a myriad of life threatening medical conditions.

Last labs were great with everything were its suppose to be!
No issues with eating anything, infact old head hunger habits are still a
constant battle especially after supper and at special events.
I still have good restriction and never over eat until it hurts or vomit.
Will try to post updated pics soon.
