You have made amazing progress and overcame a ton of hurdles early on!

This was me a few days before the surgery. I was feeling pretty good because I had list 20 lbs over the summer. I honestly didn't think if myself as *that* big... I would eat a bag of candy for dinner then follow up with a quart of Ben and Jerry's. I always felt full. I wore a size 20. My blood pressure and sugars were borderline.

This is almost six months later. Size 14, down 50 lbs from surgery date. I mostly eat protein and vegetables. I drink water, milk, or coffee. No juice, no soda, no artificially flavored drinks. I have the BP and blood sugars of a healthy teen. I think nothing of running up the stairs, and running to catch the bus no longer winds me or sends my heart into an irregular rhythm.

I am so grateful!

Hope you feel as great as you look!

Same race, 2 years apart!

Fabulous, ECUJenn!!!

How are you all doing with hair loss? Has anyone not lost hair at all? I've been losing a handful every time I shower, and then I shed profusely throughout the day. My hair is so fine I asked my kids to touch my head and they freaked out. My former dime-size pony-tail is now like the width of a pencil, and all my barrettes fall out.

I'm ready for it to slow down any time now, but the hair loss is still going strong. How are the rest of you doing?
