6 month update
Well I am a couple days late but here is my 6 month update.
I had surgery on 11/8 and my starting weight was 255 and lost a lot of weight at first however it started slowing down around 3 months. I am losing about 5-7lbs a month. Currently, I am 65-70lbs down, depending on the day....so, I am saying more like 65 for now. I really, really, really wanted to say 70. I have my 6 month check up next Friday so my goal is to be a solid 70 by then!
I had my 6 month blood draw today so hopefully that won't be bad. I am bad about taking my vitamins, but feel like I get a good variety of food in. I think if anything I would be down in folate.
I don't exercise hard enough. Right now I am walking about 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes and I try to take the stairs more at work. I would really like to increase my exercise and lift weights, but I just haven't been able to find the time. It has been very hetic at home, but I think I am doing well with the stress (I am a stress eater). I hope that with the warmer weather I can get myself ramped up and increase my movement and water intake.
My hair loss is slowing down but hasn't stopped. I am glad it is slowing down....I look forward to it stopping. I fit into a size 16 pants and XL or XXL shirt. I can tell my feet are smaller, which is funny. I really don't plan to shop for clothes until the 16s are hanging off of me and I am guessing that will be by Fall. So, I will try to make due with what I have this summer.
My spirits are good and I hope that I can lose another 40lbs....that would make me very happy. Good luck to everyone else out there!
