6 month update

I'm at home for the next two days, trying to finish up my final paper for a hellish class that I'm taking.  I decided that writing my 6 month update would be yet one more way to procrastinate!

I've been doing great.  Feeling better than I have in I don't know when.  My weight loss has definitely slowed.  I'm averaging about a 6 lb loss a month or so. If I could somehow manage 7.5 a month for the next 6 months, then I would hit my personal goal of 150.  Right now I'm in a size 16 (some 14's, some 18's depends on the brand) and 195 lbs. I am experiencing some of the dreaded hair loss, but I just cut my hair and decided to try not to think about it.  I'm going to the Y at least twice a week and walking on off days.  My husband and I have taken up hiking and I'm loving it!  I'm doing the swimming leg of a relay triathlon in July!  Lots going on and feeling absolutely great!  My Type I Diabetes is much better.  My last A1c was a 6.4.  I will take it! I am going to post a couple of pics.  I appreciate you taking the time to read my update!  I am so greatful that my life has changed so drastically for the better.  I know this site has been a constant companion and many of you have made my journey that much better.  I'm ready to get this next 6 months going!

Thank you Christy.  I'm find it easier now to work out so I'm hoping it will help keep the weight loss going.  I appreciate your kind words.

You look amazing!  Congrats on the progress.

Our surgery dates are very close together.  You are doing FABULOUS!  Hope you're feeling well!
