The pain in my back and hips is gone. I am starting to get my energy back. My clothes are almost starting to get to big. So many good things to report, it certainly outweighs the bad. Speaking of bad, I went a week without laxatives and ended up with constipation so bad, giving birth was easier. I still have a hard time eating solids without feeling sick. I Thought I was drinking enough fluids but I guess I wasn't. I kept getting really dizzy and almost passed out a few times. I figure low fluids equal low blood pressure. I increased my fluids and I am doing fine now. I am getting used it crunching down 4 vitamins a day. Not always easy to remember. Every morning I put four on the microwave and that reminds me to take them and I don't lose count throughout the day. Sadly, my weight loss has slowed. Diet want be enough from here on out. I am going to have to start exercising and stop being a couch potato. Exercising will be easier now that I have a bunch of weight off. Overall, I am motivated, excited, and starting to dream again. For so long I decided I would never lose weight and started to give up on some dreams. I see myself being able to do things that were once not possible. This is no cake walk but it sure is worth it.
