Hello everyone what a year this has been! I am currently down 126lbs. Went from a size 20w to a size 2 My measurements Inches I have lost total: Lower calf I have lost 4 1/2 inches (each one) Thigh 7 1/2 inches (each one) Hips 12 Waist 13 1/2 Bust 9 Neck 2 Upper Arm 4 (off each one) Wrist 2 I can not believe how many changes I have undergone from the most obviously they physical and also the mental. I love the way I currently look, however when I am not looking at a picture of myself or in the mirror, I pretty much feel the same.But when I do see a picture of myself or when I look in a random mirror I am amazed at the transformation that has taken place. The mental transformation has been a little bit more of a struggle....I still feel the same old Crystal, shopping I have a hard time with (I should not be complaining) but when picking out clothes I can't believe that I am a extra small,small I think to myslef this will never fit me......and then I take it in the dressing room and it is big on me!!! I also am not as funny as I used to be and not as outgoing, I am not really sure when that changed,but I have become a little bit more reserved.Maybe it's because I don't have to be the funny/outgoing person to get noticed...I really am not sure. I do notice that people in general (even though it is sad) treat me differently....they open more doors for me, they smile more at me,they just tend to treat me a little more friendly.That actually irks me, and I find it very sad that we as people do that. I get called tiny,skinny,aneroxic,everyone thinks I don't eat and feel like I have to still answer to everyone's stupid comments about that. I do eat and I do not look aneroxic........just so happens that people are so used to seeing me VERY ROUND!! Physically, I feel fantastic...I do have a vitamin D deficiency that has thrown my insulin levels off and also my blood pressure is LOW........I have lots of energy but I get tired very easily..............when I get tired I have to go home and take a nap...which is almost everyday a good 1 1/2 to 2 hour nap a day.My Butt is sore all the time LOL.......I have no padding back there. I didn't get alot of sagging skin (thank God) for that!!! I thought it would be a lot worse.I actually can live with it.I am thinking about having a tummy tuck done,but it is not something I have to have........I just might like to have it done. I hate my ugly bypass scar ..but it keeps me in check everyday when I look at. I eat fairly good and haven't really fallen into any old habits,don't get me wrong I once in awhile eat things that I shouldn't and I usualy pay dearly for it afterwards (in which i am happy). I can exercise without getting winded in the first 5 minutes..........which feels great!!! This overall has been the BEST thing I could have done for myself and I am so happy I did it!

After about 3 months of hair loss, I noticed very fuzzy hairs around my hair line. My hairdresser said that was the beginning of my hair regrowth. Yes, I would call your doctor if you continue to have your stomach problem... Have a GREAT DAY!
