so thankful now if my hair would just stop falling out.

oh man do I feel you on that lol the amount of hair falling out is INSANE. I've been back in the habit of taking super high strength biotin (10,000 mg pill a day) to try and help lessen the blow, as well as help my splitting finger nails. I know my overall vitamin levels are good (labs were stellar), so it's just the usual 3mo+ hair loss issue. Ugh, hair EVERYWHERE lol

I love Wednesdays so today I tiptoed up to the scale a bit nervous I still have been lacking sleep though the last two nights have bee good, and I have been doing a lot of yard work and I am very sore and a bit puffy so I was worried about possibly gaining or stalling out. I mean I know stalls happen and that the loss slows but I don't think I am ready for that you know what I mean.

Any who I jump on the scale hope for the best and bam 1.7 pounds down ladies and gentlemen I will take that, I will take that straight to the bank!!! so thankful now if my hair would just stop falling out.

I almost feel like its not real you know

Bet you thought I was going to miss weigh in Wednesday haha not a chance but my morning ran away with itself so here I am sipping a protein shake and doing a little reflecting. My 6 months was 3 days ago I can hardly believe it and here I am today 105.4 pounds smaller not only that I am just a little bit away from Onderland. I have a Dr's apt next Wednesday and we will go over all my labs fingers crossed that everything is at the right levels, I have some questions for the Dr. and some worries about starting the next portion of the diet as well. This is such a crazy experience.

So I missed weigh in Wednesday so this is tracking Thursday :O) As of yesterday I made it to onederland!!!!! That is right I am 199.8 I could dance dance dance!! Went to the doctor yesterday and they readjusted my weight so now I am looking at moving down to 172 I am ok with that the sad news was they didn't add in vegies so I am still 100% protein and they want me to increase my daily intake to 75mg instead of 60 I have to admit this is going to be tough but hey one bite at a time

Woooo hooo down another almost 1.5 pounds this is just terrific!!! And in even better news my hair loss is slowing down and surprise surprise I even have some new growth coming in!!!!

Wooooohooooo down another 2.2 pounds this is crazy amazing!!!! That is 110 pounds gone in under 7 months. The picture is from March I have lost close to 20 pounds since this picture how freaking crazy!!!!!! I am 196 pounds what what, and I am in a size 14 I can get into some 12s not many lol and I am steady in an XL shirt I am officially in the normal people clothes lol!!!!!!!

March .jpg

Today I am down 113.4 pounds that right 7 months post op and down that much. It almost makes my head spin. I lost another 3.4 pounds this week and at this moment I am only 21.6 pounds away from my latest MD given goal this has been an amazing journey.

How are all of you doing???
