6 month check up
Sorry its been so long since I've been on here, and keeping people updated...
I've been doing great! I had my 6 month check up today and have lost a total of 87.7 lbs as of today and it has been exactly 6 months, I am only about 40-50 lbs to goal. I have been feeling great. Doc was very impressed and had all positives to say about the visit today. Vit A & D were a little low, so he is telling me to take more and retest again in a month. Other than that, its great. Cholesteral is going down... that was really the only thing with me that was up, and my blood pressure is even going down, not that mine was ever that bad though.
My goal is to start exercising. I haven't really done that, and need to.
Mentally I have been doing ok... Once in a while, I have a breakdown, and feel like I haven't lost anything... that happens when I look in the mirror and see the old me. I am still trying to get past that. It feels great though to shop in the juniors department... not just misses, but the jr's.
It feels great to be on the losers bench, and actually feeling it now. :-)

You are doing great! Your head is the last thing to come around. Start out exercising by walking. You don't have to go overboard on anything. Build yourself up to other things. I know I need to start walking again. My DH wants to walk with me but it just seems we are not home at the same time.
Congratulations and enjoy shopping!

yeah, my goal is to really get out there and start walking... we have a treadmill that i can use, just sometimes feel too lazy... i always feel so busy with my schedule and it just doesnt seem to fit right in with my schedule, unless i do it at weird times... maybe thats what I should do though to get me going... I NEED TO DO IT though. I am kinda at a stall right now again, and I know that will help with it also.
