6 Month Check-up Today

Aug 25, 2009

I had my 6 month check-up today with Dr. Suh (I am actually almost 7 months out).  I was happy to find out that all my labs came back great.  He said to keep doing what I am doing.  I have now lost 94.5 pounds.  It feels great, although I was hoping to have lost 100 by this appointment.  The weight loss has definately slowed for me, but I have been eating a more and have skipped some workouts (bad).  I just need to get back on track and reach that 100 mark; my goal is now by 7 months on 9/4/09.  I believe I can lose 5.5 lbs. by then. 

Anyways, he said that I will probably keep losing slowly for the next 6-9 months, eventually losing about 20-30 more pounds.  I was happy with that because my goal weight is 145.  I am hoping to reach this by my 1 year anniversary on 2/4/10.

By the way my hair is still falling out, it has been almost 4 months now.  I have lost at least half of my hair.  I am doing everything that I was told for hair loss: taking my vitamins, taking biotin and zinc,  and getting in all my protein.  I am sure it will run its course, but I just hope it is soon.  On a good note, the biotin has given me beautiful long strong nails.

I need to get something out - I have been having bingeing issues for the last couple weeks.  I have been eating too many carbs, and too often.  Of course, thank God, I can't eat much at once but I find myself going to the fridge more often.  I need to see someone about these issues because this is why I got where I was in the first place.  I am not going back the 270 lb. person I was, so I need to get help with this now.  This is not every day, but is at least twice a week.  I know it is emotional, which is why I need help.

Well, this is it for now. 

Best wishes on your weight loss journies!!!!
