Hi again everyone! Down 78 in less than 6 months.

Dec 29, 2008

Just wanted to say hi again!  It has been a very long time since I posted, well OK a few months, but in weight loss it has been awhile.  I am down 78 pounds in one year and 68 pounds since surgery.  It has not been easy and there are times when I think I am the only one that this will not work for but the weight just keeps coming off.  I have started at the gym and I love it!  It is so different to walk in and be proud of how you look rather than embarrased to even step inside the door.  I am still learning what and what not to eat, how slow to eat and how often to eat.  My hair has been falling out, but it seems to have slowed down lately, although it has not stopped.  I am going to keep thinking thin in body not in hair!!!  I have shrunk out of all of my clothes, I am down into a size 8 and mediums on tops.  I just lost another 5 pounds and worried at how much difference a couple of pounds makes in sizes and fit when you get down into the lower sizes.  I recommend not buying more than a couple pair of pants as you go through sizes, you will be amazed at how soon you will be buying the next size down.  Thank goodness the gas prices have gone down, that way I can afford more new clothes!!!
Wondering when it will stop, have my 6 month appointment on Jan. 6th.  I will hopefully find out what my goal weight is, and anything else I need to know.  I am on iron, a daily vitamin and also on calcium for the vitamin D.  I will stop back and let everyone know what the Dr. has to say!
If anyone has any ideas on slowing down hair loss, or on helping skin go back where it needs to be, please post and let me know.
For the skin, I have been using a skin firming cream that has been working wonders, starts with an A, tried Oil of Olay skin firming cream and I liked it but I think the other one works better.  and Oil of Olay has a glitter in it that rubs off on your clothes. 
OK I am out of here for now!! Good Luck everyone!
I would do it again in a NY minute!!!!
