Update on me!

Well, I am doing such much better!! I was getting quite discouraged for awhile, because I was so sick!! I had a sinus infection and an ear infection....Then next it was bronchitis and Pluerosy!! I have had a horrible couple monthes, and I did stall because I couldn't breathe to exercise! I have asthma, so when I had the bronchitis, it got horrible and I had to take breathing treatments and I was a mess. The Dr. finally had to give me a prescription cough medicine so I could sleep because everytime I tried, I would cough until I couldn't breathe!! I still have a residual cough, but feel so much better now. I take the cough medicine before bed, and sleep great. I feel so much better during the day, I am back to walking 3 miles each day, which makes me feel so much better!! I have now lost 86 lbs, and just bought a size 16 jean capris, WITHOUT A STRETCHY WAIST!!!! WOOOHOOO!!! I was so excited!! I am really starting to see a difference now, and the exercise has made me feel so much better. I take my inhaler with me, in case I have breathing problems, but have only had to use it once!!! Hope all of you are doing well!! I haven't posted in awhile because of how sick I was, but I am trying to catch up and see how you all are doing!! Still losing hair here....lol!! Can't wait for that to stop!!! Teresa

Teresa, So glad to hear you're doing better! I'm glad that you're able to exercise again - that will make you feel better too. Great job on the weight loss!! 86lbs is fantastic. Way to go. I can hardly wait for the 16's to fit - I'm about 6 or so lbs away. Take care - Deb

Glad to hear that you're feeling better, I've been living in fear of the nasty virus that is going around here. Sounds like you're doing great. congrats on your great work! diane

Hi Teresa, I'm so glad that you are feeling better. Congrats on 86 lbs! That's great. We are surgery twins and I only lost 59 lbs. So you are doing very well. I'm also losing hair. I just got it cut short 2 days ago. Everyone says to cut it short and it isn't as noticable. Keep up the good work! ~Angel 222/163/120 BMI 31.8 Lap RNY 11/10/04
