6 weeks out

I am 6 weeks out today. I have lost 27 1/2 pounds. I was sick a lot last week from eating too much at a time, but hopefully I have that part figured out now. I have been having trouble swallowing pills since surgery so my doctor is checking on a liquid form of thyroid medicine for me. I really hope they find one. I looked it up online and there seems to be one, if the pharmacy can just get a hold of it. Everything else is going well again. I walked for about 10 minutes today outside and that felt good. I need to get out again and do some more walking. I am going to Chicago next week to spend some time with my mom after Christmas. We are going downtown and are going to do some walking then, hopefully it will show in my weight loss. I will have to go two weeks now without weighing in, so maybe it will be a big number of loss the next time I go!!

Congrats Kristina. You are doing a great job... keep up the good work. Walking is a great place to start. I just started that last week myself and I do about 10 minutes (on the treadmill) as well, plus 10 minutes on the recumbent bike. I hope to work my way up to more soon. Keep doing what you are doing.. it is working!!!!! Shawn M.
