Topic: RE: LONG-Very Sad Anniversary Today
Ann,
You have so much to be thankful for. I wonder if you should just stick with cardio and do less muscle training. It could be that your muscles are developing just as fast as your losing which is showing a slower weightloss. But you body is burning everything... Are you eating enough? And what are you eating? I know you were working out at the gym are you still doing that? Curves is good, but the body is always in the need of doing more. You have to push yourself. You will make it.
There is an african american woman I know who is 50 years old and she is 3 1/2 years out. She JUST hit her goal. And her bmi was around the high 40's. But she kept pushing herself. And increasing her cardio and she finally lost her weight. I am saying this because the window isn't 2 years, if you continue to use your tool, it will work for you for the rest of your life. Sometimes when the weight doesn't come off fast enough we think we are destined to be obese for the rest of our lives. And you know what that just isn't true. We CAN change our bodies. We now have the tool to do so.

Topic: RE: 3/20 Anniversary - Down 149 (total 204 since 12/22/02)
I have low blood pressure. It is due to the fact that our bodies are no longer carrying so much weight. The blood vessels are still trying to accommodate a morbidly obese body. I slowed up my exercise and after awhile my body's blood pressure regulated itself. I also found that after I started having problems, I developed a severe digestive infection. It was an overgrown of bacteria in the small intestine, which caused me to have a bout of IBS. I am doing much better. But this all occured last month.
I hope you feel better soon.

Ann - I'm so sorry that your weight loss isn't what you had hoped it would be. I think you've done terrific. Maybe at tomorrow's appt., they could suggest something that will kick it back into gear. I don't have any suggestions because it looks to me like you are doing all the right things. Happy Anniversary. Hugs. -- Wendy
