Im in the 220's!!! I reached another milestone...

After a hard week of exercise and eating right, I weighed today and I came in at 228.6! I am so happy. I don't ever remember being in the  220's. Its so awesome seeing your weight come down when your doing all the right things. God is truely blessing me for my efforts.

My Hair is starting to shed really bad!

I heard about others having hair loss but I didn't think it would happen to me! For the past 2 weeks I have been shedding handfuls of hair when I comb it. Most of it comes out when I wash it. I heard it could last up to 3 months. The reason its doing it is because of the rapid weightloss and not being able to consume70-100gms of protein daily. I pray that it all doesn't come out or  thins out my hair. I take alot of pride in my hair so I'm mourning a little. I have researched that it does taper off and rejuvenates so I'm counting on it.

As long as I don't look like this guy, I will be fine. Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the last stretch out of the 230's

This is a late post but Thursday Sept 16th, I weighed in @ 230.5! I have been out of town at my sister-n-laws house in Charleston and have been doing good so far on my eating. I hope by this coming Thursdays weigh in, that I will be in the 220's! Im sure It will be hard but I am determination to work hard and get the job done.

Some people make a fuss over being a size 2, but I'm going to make a fuss about being a size 18. This is my first pair of new jeans since my weightloss. My jean size before the weightloss was a size 22/24.The sweater that I'm wearing is a 1x.

After -September 4, 2011-Weight 235







Staying focused by surrounding myself with positive people.

My favorite website is lapbandtalk.com. I go on there daily to see what other bandsters are up to. I participated in the "Back to School Challenge" and lost 11lbs in the month of August. Basically  the challenge is like weight watchers. I log my weight in every week and someone displays it on a grid. We discuss our weightloss goals and hold ourselves accountable for our actions. For the month of September its called "Harvest Moon Challenge". My goal is to loose 11lbs by the end of September. If I accomplish that, I will have lost 50lbs! How exciting it would be to lose Half a Supermodel. LOL!!! I got that off a Jenny Craig commercial.
